PEANUTS 
Peanuts do best on a light, sandy soil. The ground should 
be ploughed deeply and thoroughly harrowed. Seed pea- 
nuts should be carefully hulled to prevent breaking the 
skin on the kernels. Plant in rows 2% 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. 1 1b. 25c, 
postage extra. 
PEAS 
CULTURE FOR GARDEN PEAS. 
Sow seed 2 inches deep in rich soil very early in the 
spring and for a succession put in varieties that mature 
at different periods or if dwarfs only are desired, sow 
a few rows every 10 days throughout the season. For 
hand cultivation sow in rows 15 inches apart, but if 
grown on a large scale it is best to sow in rows from 
2 to 3 feet apart and cultivate them with a horse or trac- 
tor. One pound of seed will plant 100 ft. of row; 75 to 
100 lbs. of seed required to an acre.
