PEANUTS 
Will grow on any soil. Light sandy 
soils produce the best quality, easier 
to harvest. Yields much more meat 
per acre than corn, The vines are su- 
perior to alfalfa in fat, nearly equal in 
protein and will feed livestock 
throughout the winter and _ spring. 
Nuts left in the ground will fatten 
hogs and give the pork a superior 
flavor. 
LANT in May or early June, 6 to 10 
inches apart in 2 to 2% foot rows. 
Our seed is not shelled. Order 60 lbs. 
per acre and shell before planting. 
Inoculate. Cultivate shallow and 
frequently 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 inward, 
and keeping them off the ground with eross stakes or brush. Pea- 
nuts require lime, phosphate and potash. Use 200 to 400 lbs. per 
acre of WOOD’S STANDARD GRAIN FERTILIZER. 
C@PRAYING peanuts with Bordeaux Mixture 3 times during July 
J and August increased yields 42% at the Virginia Experiment Sta- 
tion. 3 dustings with sulphur increased the yield 25%. This con- 
trols the potato leafhopper, a small green insect that feeds on the 
lower surfaces of the leaves, causing the edges to burn, dwarfing 
the plant and materially decreasing the yield of forage and nuts. 
Avoid planting peanuts next to early potatoes. 
Georgia Experiment Station: “Possibly the most common cause 
of low peanut yields is lack of good stands due to trash, faulty and 
discolored nuts in the seed.” WOOD’S SEED PEANUTS, grown 
from pedigree stocks, are of high germination, heavily recleaned 
ae hand picked, removing everything but bright meaty nuts, free 
of pops. 
Runner Peanuts make a spreading vine growth with pods both 
at the base and along the stems. They usually produce more nuts 
and forage, and are better for hogs than bunch, Bunch Peanuts 
have an upright growth with pods in a cluster at the base. They 
are eaSier to cultivate and harvest and can be planted in closer 
rows. Light colored sandy soils of the Southern coastal plains 
produce a bright hull that sells at a premium for roasting. Plant 
the large podded Jumbo or Virginia Bunch Varieties. Heavier 
darker soils produce as many or more nuts, more vine, later ma- 
turity, but hulls are discolored. Plant the early varieties, Improved 
Valencia for large nuts and Improved Spanish for small nuts. For 
hogging down plant Improved Spanish for early feed and North 
Carolina Runner for late feed.

IMPROVED VALENCIA 
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. 
Tennessee Red Teas sauaelese. 
ly packed with 4 to 5 medium size 
nuts of mild sweet flavor. Produc- 
tive on almost all soils. 
1 —Bunch type. Earliest maturing peanut. 
Improved Spanish Two small white nuts entirely fill each 
pod. Larger nut and heavier yield than ordinary Spanish. Su- 
perior 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, 80 lbs. shelled or 40 lbs. 
unshelled per acre. Easier to grow, cultivate and harvest than 
other varieties. Nuts cling firmly to the roots and are readily 
cured. Shells out 75%. 
° —Similar to Florida or Georgia Run- 
North Carolina Runner jer. A month later than Spanish. 
Later maturing and produces more nuts and foliage than any 
other peanut. 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, 
averaging about a ton of nuts per acre, Shelling 72.5%. 
Virginia Jumbo °F 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%. 
seaorthnT —Largest nut of any bunch peanut, and does 
Virginia Bunch 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 shelling per cent, 73.5%. 
A valuable land builder. A legume that 
CROTALARI makes much more leafy growth and 
root nodules than cowpeas or velvet 
beans, frequently 4,000 pounds per acre. When turned under 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 smothers out summer weeds. 
Grows well on any soil, good or waste land. Requires no lime, 
fertilizer or cultivation, although early cultivation pays as it 
grows slowly at first. Sow from corn planting time through 
June, 20 lbs. scarified seed per acre broadcast, or 8 lbs. in 38- 
Do not plant 
foot cultivated rows, Cover 1% inches and roll. 
unsearified seed as it germi- 
nates poorly, requiring twice as 
much seed per acre. Our seed 
is scarified, germinates readily, 
and is 99% pure. Inoculate. 
LATE SPECTABILIS — The 
tallest and best crotalaria for 
soil improvement. Grows 7 feet 
tall, yields 15 tons or more of 
green manure, equal to 700 to 
1,000 pounds of nitrate of soda 
per acre. Stalks are pithy, eas- 
ily plowed under and decay 
readily. Is not eaten by live- 
stock or attacked by insect 
pests, nematodes or other soil 
diseases. 
EARLY SPECTABILIS— 
Similar to late, but makes % 
less growth, matures a month 
earlier, reseeding before frost. 
INTERMEDIA—Relished by 
livestock. Furnishes several 
cuttings of good quality hay.
