PEANUTS 
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 fattening hogs 
and other stock. In harvesting, the nuts hang to the vine and 
tops and nuts are fed together as a complete hay and grain ration. 
This variety has also a commercial 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. 5c; 14 lb. 13c; x / 2 lb. 20c; lb. 33c; 2

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. 5c; *4 lb. 13c; V 2 lb. 20c; lb. 33c;

New Early Long Pod Bush Peanut 
Peanut Culture 
Plant in rows 2% to 3 feet apart and 6 to 8 inches apart in the rows. The Seed Pea¬ 
nuts are planted either shelled or in pods, using 1% 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.
