PEANUTS 
Arachide (Fr.) Erdnuss (Ger.) 
Cece de Terra (Ital.) 
One bushel nuts unshelled will plant an acre, 
but shell must be removed beforehand 
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.
