n r iA Ik I I I T O Plant 2 bushels unhulled 
| / \ | ^ or y 2 bushel hulled per acre 
Any soil that ■will grow corn or cotton will grow peanuts; on 
light sandy or loamy soils there are few crops more profitable. 
In addition to the yield of nuts, the hay is superior to alfalfa 
in fat and almost equal in protein. Compared with corn, an 
acre of peanuts will make nearly three 
times as much meat. Peanuts require 
lime to fill out the pods; they also need 
phosphoric acid and potash to make a 
bountiful yield. 
CULTURE.—Plant the shelled nut in May or early in June, 
dropping the nuts 8 to 10 inches apart in 2 y 2 to 3-foot rows and 
cover one to two inches deep. Cultivate thoroughly until the 
nuts begin to form. When harvesting, loosen the roots with 
a plow, pull the vines with the nuts attached, allow them to 
dry, and stack around a stake, turning the nuts inward. Cross 
stakes of brush should be set at the foot of the stake to hold 
the vines off the ground. Use 200 to 400 lbs. Acid Phosphate or 
Wood’s Standard Corn Fertilizer per acre.

Valencia Peanuts 
Valencia Peanuts 
True Stock Grown 
from Pedigree Seeds 
The Valencia fills the demand for a peanut that is larger and 
containing more nuts than the common varieties. It is splendidly 
adapted for growing on the light sandy soils of the South Atlantic 
Seaboard, where it has yielded uniformly satisfactory crops. The 
pods are large, well filled, usually containing three or four nuts, 
and of such handsome appearance that they find ready sale at top 
prices. By mail postpaid, lb. 25c; 5 lbs. 90c; 10 lbs. $1.65; 25 lbs. 
$3.40. Not postpaid, lb. 15c; 5 to 24 lbs. 13c per lb.; 25 to 99 lbs. 11c 
per lb.; 100 lbs. and over 1014 c per lb. No charge for bags. 
Tennessee Red Peanuts (22 ibs. per bushel) 
Similar to Spanish in the way the nuts are closely packed in 
the pod, but the pods are longer, usually containing four nuts 
and sometimes five; a very productive variety; mild and sweet 
flavor. By mail postpaid, lb. 25c; 5 lbs. 90c; 10 lbs. $1.65; 25 lbs. 
$3.40. Not postpaid, lb. 15c; 5 to 24 lbs. 13c per lb.; 25 to 99 lbs. 11c 
per lb.; 100 lbs. and over 10V 2 c per lb. No charge for bags. 
Virginia Bunch Peanuts (22 ibs. Per bushel) 
Wherever they have been grown, Virginia Bunch Peanuts have 
grown rapidly in popularity. They have several points of de¬ 
cided advantage over the running kinds; they mature about a 
week earlier; the rows may be closer and the plants nearer to¬ 
gether in the rows; they are easier to cultivate and harvest, and 
they will average larger yields. By mail postpaid, lb. 25c; 5 lbs. 
80c; 10 lbs. $1.45; 25 lbs. $3.05; 50 lbs. $5.90. 
Not postpaid, lb. 15c; 5 to 24 lbs. lie per lb.; 25 to 99 lbs. 914 c per 
lb.; 100 lbs. and over 9c per lb. No charge for bags. 
Improved Virginia Jumbo Peanuts 
(22 lbs. per bushel) 
The biggest, brightest peanuts always have preference when 
the market is depressed, so you cannot be too careful about the 
peanut you grow. There is no peanut of the running type that 
will yield better crops with as small a percentage of pops as 
our selected stock of Improved Virginia Jumbo. They are uni¬ 
formly large, and when grown on light sandy land will produce 
nuts of bright attractive appearance. By mail postpaid, lb. 25c; 
5 lbs. 85c; 10 lbs. $1.55; 25 lbs. $3.30; 50 lbs. $6.40. 
Not postpaid, lb. 15c; 5 to 24 lbs. 12c per lb.; 25 to 99 lbs. 1014 c 
per lb.; 100 lbs. and over 10c per lb. No charge for bags. 
Improved Spanish Peanuts oo »■. per bushel) 
Although not as large as ether kinds, there is no peanut grown 
that so entirely fills the pod nor superior in sweetness and flavor. 
There is also a marked freedom from pops, so frequently found 
in the large varieties. They can be grown closer than most varie¬ 
ties, are more easily cultivated and gathered, as the nuts, which 
are clustered around the base of the plant, cling firmly to the 
roots, and no peanut is more readily cured. By mail postpaid, 
lb. 25c; 5 lbs. 85c; 10 lbs. $1.55; 25 lbs. $3.30; 50 lbs. $6.40. 
Not postpaid, lb. 15c; 5 to 24 lbs. 12c per lb.; 25 to 99 lbs. 10^40

V^nUl / \J or Grass Nuts 
With the increasing interest in hog-raising in the South, there 
should be a corresponding increasing interest in hog-feeding 
crops that are about equal 
to corn in feeding value, 
and that can be fed cheap¬ 
er. Hogs not only fatten 
quickly on them, but the 
meat is sweeter than when 
corn-fed; some claim it is 
equal to that cf peanut- 
fed hogs. 
Any land suitable for 
corn, cotton or peanuts 
will make a profitable crop 
of chufas, but they do best 
on light sandy soils. Plant 
from April 1st till July 1st 
in 2 J 4 to 3-foot rows, drop¬ 
ping three to five chufas 
together, 15 tc 18 inches 
apart in the row, and cover 
2 inches deep. In the fall 
pull a few plants with the 
roots and give your hogs 
and poultry a taste, and 
they will go over the en¬ 
tire field and will attend to 
the harvesting. 1 to IV 2 
pecks plant an acre. By 
mail postpaid, lb. 30c; 5 lbs. 
90c; 10 lbs. $1.45; y z bushel 
$2.55; bushel $4.70.

Chufas or Grass Nuts. $2.00; bushel (40 lbs.) $3.75. 
JERUSALEM ARTICHOKES 
Every hog raiser should grow artichokes, for they come year 
after year; the hogs will harvest them without cost, will fatten 
on them, and they will keep the hogs in fine condition—it is 
claimed that artichokes prevent hog cholera. They are grown 
just like potatoes; cut them two eyes to the piece, and plant 2 
Inches deep, 15 to 18 inches apart in 3 to S^-foot rows. In the fall 
when they have matured, turn the hogs among them and they 
will feed on them all winter except when the ground is wet 
or frozen. They 
are more cheap¬ 
ly grown and 
more productive 
than potatoes, 
averaging 300 to 
400 bushels to the 
acre. 
Although grown 
p r i ncipally for 
hogs, they are 
fine food for cat¬ 
tle, sheep and 
horses; for dairy 
cattle it is claim¬ 
ed theyare nearly 
equal to bran as 
milk producers. 
Plant during March or April, the earlier the better; they will 
stand considerable drought and extreme cold, and can be planted 
earlier than potatoes. They grow well on any well-drained soil 
without much attention, and one planting does for several years. 
6 to 8 bushels plant an acre. By mail postpaid, qt. 30c; y z peck 60c; 
peck $1.00; 14 bushel $1.60; bushel $2.85. 
Not postpaid, 14 peck 35c; peck 55c; 14 bushel 85c; bushel $1-50; 
5-bushel lots $1.45 per bushel.
