Peanuts Do Well In 
MAMMOTH RUSSIAN 
SUNFLOWER 
The seed is highly valued by farmers and 
poultry breeders who have tried it. Single 
heads measure 12 to 20 inches in diameter, 
and contain large quantities of seed, and can 
be raised much cheaper than corn. This is a 
profitable crop for the farmer to grow, as 
there is a big demand for the seed to mix 
in poultry feeds. Five to ten pounds will 
plant an acre. Lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 55c, postpaid. 
Not prepaid, lb., 20c; 10 lbs., $1.50. Ask for 
prices on larger quantities. 
PEANUTS 
For medium light, loamy or sandy soil. 
Peanuts are one of the most profitable crops. 
They yield very largely—yields of fifty bush¬ 
els per acre being reported on land too poor 
to plant in corn. In addition to the yield of 
nuts, they yield quite largely of nutritious 
forage and produce ordinarily about a ton 
of excellent forage per acre in addition to 
the crop of nuts. 
TENNESSEE LONG RED. A fine variety, 
especially adapted to black, waxy land, as 
well as sandy soil. The nuts contain three 
large kernels each, and are enormously pro¬ 
ductive. Lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 55c, postpaid. Not 
prepaid, lb., 20c; 20 lbs., $2.50. Ask for 
prices on larger quantities. 
IMPROVED VIRGINIA JUMBO. A very 
profitable sort, planted almost exclusively by 
the Peanut-growing section of Virginia. It 
is the standard variety for roasting. Lb., 30c; 
2 lbs., 55c, postpaid. Not prepaid, lb., 20c; 
20 lbs., $3.00. Ask for prices on larger quan¬ 
tities. 
SPANISH. Spanish Peanuts grow in more 
compact form than the Virginia Peanuts, 
making it possible to grow them closer, which 
makes the cultivation easier. While the nuts 
are smaller, they are much sweeter and of 
finer flavor than the larger sorts and con¬ 
tain a higher per cent of oil than do the 
other varieties. The best crop in the South 
for fattening hogs. Lb., 20c; 2 lbs., 35c, post¬ 
paid. Not prepaid, lb., 10c; 20 lbs., $1.50.

Mammoth Russian Sunflower 
BROOM CORN 
SCARBROUGH DWARF. This type has 
much less seed on it, and is on the upper one- 
third of the brush, allowing much cleaner 
threshing and bales weigh fully one-third 
more and make the finest smooth parlor 
brooms, and also contain enough heavier, 
coarse brush for house brooms. We suggest 
planting 4 to 6 seeds in a hill with hills 30 
to 36 inches apart, rows 40 inches apart. This 
plan allows better air circulation through the 
field and being in hills furnishes much better 
shade protection to the pulled heads as piled 
in large handfuls, heads up, on the north side 
of the standing hills. The best way to cure 
is to thresh same day as pulled and put in 
drying frames for a week, then bale care¬ 
fully. Lb., 20c; 2 lbs.. 35c, postpaid. Not 
prepaid, lb., 10c; 20 lbs., $1.75. Ask for 
prices on larger quantities. 
STANDARD EVERGREEN. Is very early 
and when properly planted and cultivated 
has beautiful green brush and commands the 
highest price. Harvested by cutting. Lb., 20c; 
2 lbs., 35c, postpaid. Not prepaid, lb., 10c; 
20 lbs., $1.75. Ask for prices on larger quan¬ 
tities. 
RYE 
Farmers, dairymen, and stock raisers are 
appreciating more the value of Rye as a 
winter pasture crop. Sow at the rate of \y± 
to 1 Yo bushels per acre. 
FALL OR WINTER. Rye has long been 
recognized as one of our best grains for win¬ 
ter pasture. The seed we offer is all thor¬ 
oughly recleaned and tested for germination. 
Pk., 45c; bu., $1.50; 10 bus., $14.00,-. not pre¬
