CHUFAS 
Spanish Chufas or Earth Almonda are a special nut grass largely grown in some sections for feeding to hogs, for which 
purpose they are highly recommended. After the crop is grown, hogs may be turned into the field, thus saving the labor 
of harvesting and feeding. Chufas do best on light, sandy soil, or rather soil that does not contain too much clay, except 
as a sub-soil. They should be planted in drills two and a half to three feet apart, dropping from three to five Chufas in 
a hill fifteen to twenty inches apart, cover about two Inches, keep clean and stir the soil occasionally. Level culture is the 
best. They are very productive, nutritious and fattening. They can be planted in May, June or early in July. Pkt. 15 cts.,

CULTURE.—The cultivation of cotton varies considerably, of course, according to the locality and soil, but in general 
the ground should be prepared by thorough plowing and harrowing, with rows of 40 to 50 inches apart, 5 feet being given 
where the land is unusually rich. Seeding is best done with the cotton planter, and the young plants should be thinned to 
about 18 or 20 inches in the rows if the ground is very rich, 2 plants may be left in a hill, but otherwise only 1. Frequently 
shallow cultivation is necessary to keep the surface free from crust, and planting should never be done until danger of 
frost is passed. For an acre, 1 to 1% bushels. 
Efiplv Pmlifir* (Medium Boll)—This is a selection from the King’s, as a large percentage of the flowers bear the 
_ z_ _1 well-known red spot of the King’s, bi ‘ 
and it is a heavier and surer cropper. Pk. 50 cts., bu.

Ecirlv Kins' (Medium Boll)—This standard variety holds its own against the newer cottons, many of the best of which 
_ z. _S_* were bred from it, as evidenced by the King’s characteristic red spot in the center of the bloom. It is 
one of the earliest kinds, maturing in about ninety days, and is invaluable for sections where the growing season iB short. 
Pk. 50 cts., bu. $1.90. 
Trice (Medium Boll)—Although several days later than Early King in maturing, this fine Georgia selection has been 
_ making wonderful yields every year since its introduction, and competent judges believe it to be the best type of 
Prolific in cultivation. It is of rank growth and resists drought better than most kinds. Pk. 50 cts., bu. $1.90. 
(Large Boll)—One of the best of the “big boll” varieties. It is early, the lint is of splendid 
quality, and has been found to resist drought particularly well. Pk. 50 cts., bu. $1.90.

CRQTALARIA 
(Spectabalis) 
A remarkable cover crop and soil builder. 
Very heavy yields are obtained from Crotalaria; green weight of 3,500 lbs. per acre is not uncommon. Soil building 
is the only purpose of the crop, as it is not recommended for livestock. The actual cash value of nitrogen returned to 
the soil is estimated about $20.00 per acre, and besides the humus is of untold value—increases the water-holding capacity 
of the soil and prevents erosion. Many report the doubling of farm crops when following Crotalaria. It succeeds well in 
all the Southern States, can easily be eradicated, and .will grow on sweet or sour soil. Requires no lime, inoculation, 
fertilization or cultivation. 
Plant as soon as danger of frost is past for maximum growth. Later plantings, however, have shown good results. 
Plant 10 lbs. per acre broadcast, or 6 lbs. if drilled. Our seed is scarified and readily germinable. Lb. 30c., 5 lbs. $1.00, 
10 lbs. $1.75. Postpaid. Not prepaid, 25 lbs. $3.75, 100 lbs. $14.00.

Flax is very sensitive to cold and should not be sown Grown for its fiber, from which many commodities are

PEANUTS 
CULTURE.—Peanuts do well on most Southern farm land, whether light, loamy or even sandy, providing lime is not 
lacking; for without an abundant supply of lime they cannot be successfully grown, twelve to fifteen hundred pounds being 
often put upon an acre, with good results. Soils rich in marl, of course, require no liming. Plant in May or early June, the 
dwarf varieties in 2% foot rows and the running varieties in 3 foot rows, dropping 1 nut 10 to 12 inches apart in the row, 
covering 1 to 1% inches deep, and the peanuts should be shelled before planting. If large quantities are to be planted, a 
regular peanut planter should be used. When the vines are started, thorough cultivation must begin, and continue until 
just before the nuts begin to form. Do not cultivate too late in the season, as late cultivation is likely to injure the forma¬ 
tion of the nuts. For an acre, from 1 to 2 bushels in the hull, according to size. 
DWARF

Snanish Land which would not make 10 per cent of a crop of the Jumbo will often produce excellent Spanish nuts, 
- and they require very little cultivation. They are easily gathered, the nuts clinging firmly to the roots at har¬ 
vest, and no kind cures so readily. Immense quantities are now grown simply for hogs, hardly any food being more fatten¬ 
ing or wholesome. Thirty pounds to the bushel. Lb. 25 cts. Postpaid. Write for prices on larger quantities.
