CULTURE—Plant the shelled nut in May or 
early in June, dropping the nuts 8 to 10 
inches apart in 2% to 3 foot rows and cover 1 
to 2 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, 
stack around a stake, turning the nuts inward. 
1177— PEANUTS (Spanish)—They can be 
grown closer than most varieties, are 
more easily cultivated and gathered, as 
the nuts, which are clustered around the 
base of the plant, cling firmly to the 
roots. Price—1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 75c; 10 lbs., 
$1.25; 15 lbs., $1.75. 
1178— PEANUTS (Tenn. Red Running) 
—The finest large variety grown; sim¬ 
ilar to Spanish Peanuts, but the pods 
See Yellow List Enclosed for Quantity Prices, 
are much larger and longer, well adapted 
to all soils. The pods usually contain 
from three to four nuts, which are very 
rich and highly flavored. Price—1 lb., 
25c; 5 lbs., 80c; 10 lbs., $1.35; 15 lbs., $1.95. 
1180—PEANUTS (Valencia)—Fills the 
demand for a peanut that is larger and 
containing more nuts than the com¬ 
mon 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. Price—1 
lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 75c; 10 lbs., $1.25; 15 lbs.,

BUCHANAN’S State Certified POTATOES 
Certified potatoes must pass through field inspection by the 
Department of Agriculture and must be true to variety, type 
and free from wart, powdery scab and late blight. It pays to 
plant Certified Seed Potatoes. 
They should also be treated with Semesan Bel before planting. 
Treat Your Potatoes With Semesan Bel—See Index. 
The modern superior way of disinfecting seed potatoes is with 
Semesan Bel, the instantaneous dip, easily used without ex¬ 
pensive equipment. It does away with long-time soaking of the 
seed and effectively coats them with a disinfectant which com¬ 
monly remains on the seed piece throughout the season. Write 
for Semesan Bel Potato Booklet. See also page 78.

MILLET FOR SUMMER FORAGE 
1185—TENNESSEE GERMAN MILLET (Big Headed Type)—Seed are grown in Middle 
Tennessee. The standard weight of millet is 50 pounds to the bushel. Broadcast 1 
bushel to acre. There are about 232,000 seed to 1 pound. 
German Millet makes a quickly grown, easily cured and large yielding, nutritious 
hay crop. It comes so quickly that it can be sown after wheat, oats or other early 
crops are harvested, and leaves the land clean and in fine mechanical condition for 
the following crop. Millet should be cut when coming to flower, as after that stage 
the woody fibre forms in the stem and the hay is hard and unpalatable. Cut at the 
proper time, it makes a splendid hay. As a summer catch-crop, it has few equals, 
for it makes its crop in about sixty days, discing and harrowing wheat or oat land 
being the only preparation necessary. 
Price—1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 75c; 10 lbs., $1.25; 15 lbs., $1.75 
1187— JAPANESE OR BARNYARD MILLET (Called BUlion Dollar Grass)—Distinct 
from other millets; grows 4 to 6 feet high, yielding an enormous crop that in quality is 
equal to corn fodder and is relished by stock. Sow in May, June or July, 20 pounds to 
the acre broadcast; or plant in 15-inch drills and cultivate until it is 18 inches high. 
When green, feed a moderate quantity at first, gradually increasing the quantity as 
the animals become accustomed to it. This millet is used in great quantities by Southern 
Hunting Clubs for wild duck feed. 
Price—1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 85c; 10 lbs., $1.50; 15 lbs., $2.00 
1188- PEARL OR CAT-TAIL MILLET—Will grow 10 to 12 feet high, but for the great¬ 
est amount of green feed it should be cut when 3 to 4 feet high. It will then stool 
out enormously. Give three or four cuttings a season, and keep on growing right up 
to frost. It is highly nutritious. It is a warm weather plant, and should not be planted 
till the ground is thoroughly warm, otherwise the seeds will not germinate. Plant 5 
pounds to the acre, in drills 3 feet apart. 
Price—1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 85c; 10 lbs., $1.50; 15 lbs., $2.00
