delicious quality. 2 oz. Pkt. 10c; VSs lb. 20c; lb. 35c; 2 lbs. 65c, postpaid. 
Mammoth Luscious Sugar 
The Finest Edible Podded Pea. Vines Rather Dwarf for This Class of 
Peas, But Pods Are Larger and Well Filled. 
These peas are not shelled, but are eaten like snap beans; the pods 
are stringless and are unexcelled in flavor, brittleness and sweetness. 
The vines grow medium tall, the pods are short and broad and are 
produced continuously for a long period in the greatest abundance. 
2 oz. Pkt. 10c; V 2 lb. 22c; lb. 40c; 2 lbs. 70c, postpaid. 
PEANUTS 
Plant in rows 2 % to 3 feet apart and 6 to 8 inches apart in the rows. 
The Seed Peanuts are planted either shelled or in pods, using 1 y 2 peck 
of shelled or 2 bushels in pods per acre. The pods may also be broken 
in 2 parts, soaked in water and then planted at once. The larger 
varieties are mostly planted shelled at the rate of bushel per acre. 
Planting must not be done until the weather is warm. Cultivate until 
they begin to form pods. When they mature pull them up, turning the 
roots to the sun. In bright weather they will be cured in 24 hours. 
They must be pulled before frost. 
Improved Telephone 
Spanish Peanut 
New Mammoth Virginia Peanut 
Spanish Peanut 
The earliest variety grown; maturing in about 100 days; 
in some parts of the South two crops are raised in a year. 
Plants upright, with abundant and heavy foliage; the pods 
cluster at their base. Pods are small but well filled with 
nuts of sweeter and finer flavor than the larger sorts. The 
yield is on an average from 50 to 60 bushels of nuts and 
a ton of hay per acre, but frequently 100 bushels of nuts 
have been harvested. Can be cultivated with the plow. 
Because of its earliness, easy cultivation and great pro¬ 
ductiveness it is the best variety for farm use,' for fatten¬ 
ing hogs and other stock. In harvesting, the nuts hang 
to the vine and tops and nuts are fed together as a com¬ 
plete hay and grain ration. This variety has also a com¬ 
mercial value over that for feeding; it is the kind mostly 
used for Peanut candy and salted Peanuts and is also the 
best for oil, containing 10 per cent more oil than others. 
Postpaid, 2 oz. pkt. 6c; Yk lb. 13c; Yz lb. 20c; lb. 33c; 2 lbs.

New Mammoth Virginia 
This Mammoth Virginia Peanut is more profitable and desirable 
than the common spreading kind, because more productive, 
earlier, yields fewer imperfect pods and is more easily cultivated 
and harvested, having very erect stems and upright foliage. The 
vines make valuable forage for stock. Will ripen even as far 
north as Canada. Hundreds of our young friends reported a won¬ 
derful crop the past season. The standard variety for roasting. 
Postpaid, pkt. 6c; Yk lb. 13c; Yz lb. 20c; lb. 33c; 2 lbs. 60c; 
5 lbs. $1.20. By Express, not prepaid, 5 lbs. $1.00; 10 lbs. $1.90. 
New Dixie Giant 
The Jumbo of the Peanut family; owing to its extremely large 
size and handsome appearance is very desirable in every market, 
always bringing fancy prices. Plants grow about 18 inches high, 
with heavy, erect stalks and large leaves, fruits near the tap 
root. Can be planted together, thus producing a large yield, and 
are more easily cultivated than the running varieties. The pods 
fill out well, forming few, if any pops. Should yield a gallon of 
nuts to one kernel planted. Postpaid, 2 oz. pkt. 6c; Yk lb. 13c; 
Yz lb. 20c; lb. 33c; 2 lbs. 60c; 5 lbs. $1.20. By Express, not prepaid, 
5 lbs. $1.00; 10 lbs. $1.90. 
New Early Long Pod Bush 
Originated by one of the best Peanut growers in the South 
and is certainly a distinct improvement in appearance over any 
Southern variety now in use. Will do well on most all kinds of 
soil, and fill out better than any other large variety. Can be 
pulled up with the vine same as the old Spanish Peanuts. The 
distinct long pods grow close and are well filled, containing 3 
to 4 nuts to each pod. Very productive and of a mild, sweet 
flavor. Well adapted for stock feeding. Postpaid, 2 oz. pkt. 6c; 
Yk lb. 13c; Yz lb. 20c; lb. 33c; 2 lbs. 60c; 5 lbs. $1.20. By Express,
