PEANUTS 
Arachide (Fr.) Erdnuss (Ger.) Cece 
de Terra (Ital.)

It is generally believed that Peanuts 
cannot be grown anywhere north of Virginia, 
but this is a mistake; almost any well- 
drained garden soil suits them, where they 
will yield a big crop. The Peanut plant 
rather enriches the soil instead of impover¬ 
ishing it, as it is an abundant gatherer of free 
nitrogen.

The New Katahdin Main-Crop Potato 
This new origination by the U. S. Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture is not so well known in 
the East, but for the last two years large 
acreages have been grown in the Middle 
West, with great success. Katahdin is white, 
rather shallow-eyed, oval, and yet somewhat 
flat in shape. The vine is very vigorous, with 
dark green foliage resistant to mild forms of 
mosaic. It produces a high percentage of 
No. 1 Potatoes, as reported from different 
states where it has been tested, and the 
keeping qualities of the tubers have proved 
to be very good. In time it will be a rival to 
the well-known Green Mountain. 
Yellow and Red Nansemond. 75c. per 100 (by Parcel Post, 90c.); per 
1000, $5.00. Not less than 100 plants of a variety can be furnished.
