PEANUTS 
★ SOUTH DAKOTA GROWN 
Peanuts are easy to grow, 
easy to roast, and easy to eat. 
If you don’t think so, take a 
pan of your home grown pea¬ 
nuts, put them in the oven for 
about 30 minutes, and eat them 
while they are still hot. Good! 
Of course, they are good, and 
that is a good way to pass some 
of the long winter evenings. 
We have been growing pea¬ 
nuts in South Dakota for a 
long time, and the variety we 
are offering is early enough to 
get ripe in a normal season. 
Peanuts will stand lots of 
dry weather and still yield an 
immense crop of delicious nuts. 
Plan on planting some peanuts 
for the children. 
With each order for pea¬ 
nuts, we will enclose a bulletin 
giving full instructions for 
planting and care.

10 lbs., $1.40; 25 lbs., $3.25.

grown peanuts.
