All plants are grown in open field, thereby assuring 
strong, hardy plants. They are tied in bunches of about 
100 plants and packed 60 bunches to the crate. Planting 
about 3 inches apart in 16-inch rows will require 100,000 
plants to the acre. Please write for prices about April 
1. We expect to have White Wax, Yellow Bermuda, 
Sweet Spanish and Prizetaker plants. 
Onion Sets 
On account of the uncertainty of the onion set market 
we are unable to quote prices at the time this book is 
being printed in January. See yellow list for prices. 
Prices will be available in March and April. 
PEANUTS 
Peanuts do best on a light, sandy soil. The ground 
should be ploughed deeply and thoroughly harrowed. 
Seed peanuts should be carefully hulled to prevent break¬ 
ing the skin on the kernels. Plant in rows 2V6 to 3 feet 
apart and 12 inches in the row. Cover about 2 inches. 
When matured, pull up and dry in the sun a few days. 
Vines are a valuable feed for horses, cattle and sheep.
