Alderman Peas, 
Peanuts 
Peanuts should be shelled before planting. They 
should be planted in May or early June, in rows 
about 2 to 3 feet apart, dropping the nuts 8 to 10 
inches apart, 1 in a hill. Cover 1 or 2 inches deep. 
Cultivate 3 or 4 times with a cultivator, so as to 
loosen the earth and keep down weeds, and at the last 
working, with a small turn-plow throw the dirt to 
the nuts. Do not cultivate too late in the season, as 
late cultivation is likely to injure the formation of 
the nuts. It is also advisable to make an application of 
lime, scattering it on top of the row just after plant¬ 
ing. In harvesting, plow the peanuts and then stack 
around stakes with the leaves outside.

Alderman are dark green and always well filled with 
fine large peas. For a pea which should be staked 
there is none quite so good as Alderman. It is one of 
the finest of the large-podded summer varieties. The 
haulm grows five feet in height and is of a rich, 
dark green color, as are also the large pods. Pods 
frequently measure nearly six inches in length and 
contain from ten to twelve very large peas of supe¬
