Crotalia Intermedia. 
- SEEDSMEN SINCE 
CROTALARIA 
A Valuable Soil Builder 
It is generally conceded to be one of the best summer goil- 
building crops, 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 nitro- 
gen 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 fre- 
quently 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 3-foot cultivated rows. Cover 1% inches and roll. 
Do not plant unscarified seed as it germinates poorly, requir- 
ing twice as much seed per acre. Our seed is scarified, germi- 
nates readily, and is 99% pure. Inoculate. 
LATE CROTALARIA SPECTABILIS—tThe 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, easily plowed 
under and decay readily. Is not eaten by livestock or at- 
tacked by insect pests, nematodes or other soil diseases, 
Crotalaria will definitely starve nematodes out of the soil. 
EARLY CROTALARIA SPECTABILIS—Similar to late, but 
makes % less growth, matures a month earlier, reseeding 
before frost. 
CROTALARIA INTERMEDIA—tThe only palatable crota- 
laria strain relished by animals. Furnishes two cuttings of 
hay. Long, thin leaves of fine quality. Two weeks earlier 
than Late Spectabilis,

Late Crotalaria Spectabilis. The 
largest growing soil-building crop 
available. 
SEED PEANUTS 
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 
a oYop pa 
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 superior to alfalfa in fat, 
nearly equal in protein and will feed live- 
stock 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. Cul- 
tivate 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, turn- 
ing the nuts inward, and keeping them off 
the ground with cross stakes or brush. Pea- 
nuts require lime, phosphate and potash. 
Use 200 to 400 lbs. per acre of WOOD’S 
STANDARD GRAIN FERTILIZER. 
PRAYING peanuts with Bordeaux Mix- 
ture 3 times during July and August in- 
creased yields 42% at the Virginia Experi- 
ment Station. 8 dustings with sulphur in- 
creased the yield 25%. This controls 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 
vields 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 and hand picked, remoy- 
ing everything but bright meaty nuts, free 
of pops. 
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 
planted after truck crops. 
Virginia Bunch 
Largest nut of any bunch peanut, and 
does well on light, sandy land. A week 
earlier than Jumbo, may be planted closer, 
easier to cultivate and harvest. Nuts al- 
most as large with a higher selling per 
cent, 73.5%. 
Improved Spanish 
Bunch type. Earliest maturing peanut. 
Two small white nuts entirely fill each pod. 
Larger nut and heavier yield than ordinary 
Spanish. Superior 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, 30 lbs. shelled or 40 lbs. un- 
shelled per acre. Easier to grow, cultivate 
and harvest than other varieties. Nuts 
cling firmly to the roots and are readily 
cured. Shells out 75%. 
North Carolina Runner 
Similar to Florida or Georgia Runner. 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%.
