PEANUTS 
They grow on any soil, but are eas¬ 
ier to harvest on light soils. The vines 
are superior to alfalfa in fat, nearly 
equal in protein and will feed live¬ 
stock throughout the winter and 
spring. Nuts left in the ground will 
fatten hogs and give the pork a su¬ 
perior flavor. 
P LANT 35 to 40 lbs. of shelled nuts 
per acre in May or earlv June, 6 to 
10 inches apart in 2 to 2 y 2 -foot rows. 
As our seed is not shelled, order about 
50 lbs. to acre. Inoculate with NITRA- 
GIN E. Cultivate thoroughly until 
nuts begin to form. To harvest, loosen 
the roots with a plow, pull up the 
vines, allow the nuts to dry, and stack 
around a stake, turning the nuts in- 
Improved Spanish 
ward, and keeping them off the ground with cross stakes or brush. 
Peanuts require lime, phosphate and potash. Use 200 to 400 lbs. 
per acre of WOOD’S STANDARD CORN FERTILIZER. 
S PRAY peanuts with bordeaux mixture 3 times during July and 
August for big increase in yield. Three dustings with sulphur 
increased the yield 35% at the Virginia Experiment Station. This 
controls the potato leafhopper, a small green insect that feeds on 
the lower surfaces of the leaves, causing the edges to burn, dwarf¬ 
ing the foliage and materially decreasing the yield of forage and 
nuts. Avoid planting peanuts next to early potatoes. 
VirCTnia Bunch —Largest nut of any bunch peanut, and does 
® well on light, sandy land. A week earlier than 
Jumbo, may be planted closer, easier to cultivate and harvest. 
Nuts almost as large with a higher selling per cent, 73.5%. 
Tennessee Red —Bunch type. Long pods, closely packed with 
4 to 6 medium size nuts of mild sweet flavor. 
Productive on almost all soils. 
IMPROVED VALENCIA 
Or Improved Red Spanish 
Bunch type. The most profitable nut 
for average conditions as it produces 
large, well-filled pods containing 3 or 
4 nuts on a wide variety of soils, where 
other large podded varieties yield 
many pops. It has the most delicious 
flavor, is best for home use and brings 
a premium on the market. It has the 
highest shelling per cent, a bushel of 
30 lbs. shelling out 22 lbs. of nuts. 
Very early maturity and can be plant¬ 
ed after truck crops. 
■—Bunch type. 
Earliest ma¬ 
turing peanut. Two small white 
nuts entirely fill each pod. Larger 
nut and heavier yield than ordinary 
in sweetness and flavor. Marked freedom 
from pops so frequently found in large varieties. Give highest 
yields when planted 6 inches apart in 18-inch rows. Easier to 
grow, cultivate and harvest than other varieties. Nuts cling 
firmly to the roots and are readily cured. Shells out 75%. 
Nrtvf’Ii f'simlimi RiiriTi^i* —Similar to Florida Runner. A 
fMOrm V^aroiina K.unner j^Q^th later than Spanish. Later ma- 
, taring and produces more nuts and foliage than any other pea¬ 
nut. Best for hogging down, as the nuts will not sprout if left 
in the ground. High oil content and food value. However, nuts 
are small, about size of Spanish and usually bring a low price. 
Highest yielding peanut for 8 years in the Georgia tests, averag¬ 
ing about a ton of nuts per acre, shelling 72.5%. 
Vifoinia IiitnLrk or Virginia Runner—The biggest and heaviest 
® yielding extra large peanut. A good variety 
for light sandy land, where they produce enormous bright, at¬ 
tractive nuts, with few pops, that bring highest prices on the 
market. Shells out 69.5%.

CROTALARIA 
— A legume that 
makes four times 
the leafy growth and 
root nodules as cowpeas or velvet beans, fre¬ 
quently 40,000 pounds per acre When turned un¬ 
der the cash value of nitrogen is estimated at 
$20.00 per acre, besides the untold value of humus 
which prevents erosion, holds water in sandy soil 
and opens up heavy soil. Yields of following 
crops are frequently doubled Completely smoth¬ 
ers our summer weeds. Grows well on any soil. 
Requires no lime, fertilization or cultivation, al¬ 
though early cultivation pays. Sow at corn plant¬ 
ing time 15 to 20 pounds per acre broadcast or 5 
pounds in rows. Our seed is scarified and germi¬ 
nates readily. Inoculate with Nitragin E. 
Crntalaria Intermedia —only crota- 
l^roiaiaria imermeam relished by ani¬ 
mals. E’urnishes two cuttings of fine quality 
hay. Two weeks earlier than Spectabilis. 
Crotalaria Spectabilis gie'^Vt^S^es^^bouf a 
foot more growth than any other Crotalaria. 
averaging 7 feet high, and will yield 15 or more 
tons of green manure per acre. 
Riark Medic Clover — equals for 
DiaCK ivieaic ^..lover winter or spring 
grazing and makes an excellent hay. Relished 
by all livestock. Sow on every Lespedeza field 
and permanent pasture to furnish grazing dur¬ 
ing the winter and early spring. It reseeds it¬ 
self in spite of close grazing, dies down and 
comes up again in the winter. It grows vigor¬ 
ously on all soils, except loose sand or water- 
soaked land. Hugh McRae, Wilmington. N. C., 
says: "Should be used in every mixture of an¬ 
nuals for spring grazing. Spreads rapidly and 
matures later than Crimson or Bur Clovers, 
•r\ T*/-* 1-rk rr 4 or orr'O'TinO' 
An excellent cover and soil improving legume. 
Makes a beautiful, deep green colored lawn that 
grows vigorously during cold weather. Spread¬ 
ing habit. Sow from September through March. 
10 to 15 lbs. per acre, preferably scratched in 
lightly. Inoculate with NITRAGIN A. Liming 
and applying 200 to 300 lbs. per acre of WOOD’S 
SUPER STANDARD FERTILIZER will improve 
its growth. Manure aids getting a stand. 
NITRAGIN SEED INOCULATION 
CUT DOWN VOUR FERTIDIZER BTLES 
GET YOUR NITROGEN FROM THE AIR 
Nitrogen, the m»st expensive Ingredient in fertilizers, is plenti¬ 
ful In the air When legume crops are inoculated this nitrogen is 
stored in nodules on the roots. All legumes—clovers, alfalfa, 
beans, peas, peanuts, et"*—w'll yield far better crops if the seeds 
are inoculated and will leave in the soil a heavy deposit of nitro¬ 
gen for the benefit of succeeding crops. 
Be sure to state for what crop inocxilation is wanted.
