PEANUTS 
They do best in a 
light soil. Dry 
weather does not 
affect them. In¬ 
sects don’t bother 
Peanuts. Take 
them up, tops, Peanuts and all just before 
frost in the fall. Allow them to dry out 
in the air. Plant in rows, 4 feet apart, 
the nuts in the drill row 8 inches apart. 
Peanuts are very easy to grow, let your 
children have a little garden space, they 
will get much enjoyment out of the Pea¬ 
nuts they grow themselves.
