Every Boy and Girl 
Should Plant 
Peanuts 
PEANUTS 
1 lb. of seed will plant 
a row 60 ft. long. 
The peanut is worthy of 
more general cultivation. 
The peanut is a soil build¬ 
er and renovator. If in¬ 
cluded in the crop rotation 
and properly handled, pea¬ 
nuts are not exhaustive of 
soil fertility. The tops of 
the peanuts make fine hay, 
relished by all stock, while 
the roots furnish rich food 
for both man and stock. 
The best soil is one of a 
sandy, loamy nature, which 
has a red clay subsoil, as 
this indicates lime, which 
is essential for this plant. 
They yield 40 to 100 
bushels to the acre, accord¬ 
ing to how well the crop 
is managed. Peanuts 
should be shelled before 
planting, but can also be 
planted in the hull 16 to 
18 inches apart. They 
should be planted in April 
and they will ripen before 
September, even as far 
north as Canada.

-V Typical Harvest of Mammoth Virginia Peanuts 
506 Mammoth Virginia Peanuts 
Universal and Standard Favorite (Bunch Variety) 
This is the variety most generally grown for commercial use, and makes 
considerably larger nuts than the Spanish. The peanuts we offer are se¬ 
lected from the best and most productive crops grown, plant rather dwarf, 
stems upright, foliage rather light, pods clustered about the base of plant, 
usually two, sometimes three, seeds in a pod; pod bright and clean, color 
of peas light brown; pods adhere to plant in digging. It is the standard 
variety for roasting. They furnish excellent forage, and we recommend 
to all our customers, even if they do not plant for market, to plant at least 
a small patch of peanuts for home use or stock feeding. Hundreds of our 
young friends h.ave written us that they have had a wonderful crop the 
past season. Choice Seeds. Packet. 5 ets.; Vt lb., 13 cts.; Vs lb., 20 cts.;
