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 
peanuts, put them in the oven for about 30 min¬ 
utes 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 peanuts 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 peanuts, we will enclose a 
bulletin giving full instructions for planting and 
care.
