Peanuts 
One bushel nuts unshelled will plant an acre, but shell 
must be removed beforehand. 
It is generally believed peanuts cannot be grown anywhere 
north of Virginia, but this is a mistake; most any well-drained 
garden soil suits them, where they will yield a big crop. The 
peanut plant rather enriches the soil instead of impoverishing 
it, as it is an abundant gatherer of free nitrogen. Selected Virginia.

Masser’s Choice Northern Grown Peas 
Culture. Peas of extra early smooth class are the very first 
thing to be planted in the garden in spring. The wrinkled sorts 
follow a little later, as they are not quite so hardy. Tall, late 
varieties need brush or other support. Open furrows three or 
four inches deep and three feet apart; scatter the seed Peas into 
them and cover with hoe or plow. 
EUREKA EXTRA EARLY. One of the earliest and most pro¬ 
lific extra early varieties, which has given good results wherever 
grown. Vines grow to a height of about 20 inches and are very

2 y inches in length, and are well filled with peas of excellent 
flavor. It is an extremely even cropper, and can be gathered 
clean in two pickings; height 20 inches. y pt., 15c.; pt.,
