Guernsey Parsnip 
Tender and delicious late in the fall, especially after frost which

Jumbo Virginia 
Peanuts 
PEANUTS 2: 
Roasted peanuts, salted peanuts, peanut butter and peanut 
candies, are well known to all of us. Have you ever tried them 
baked as you would beans? Leave skins on or take them off; they 
are, however, more palatable if skins are removed. 
For best results select warm, light or sandy soil rich in lime. 
Plant in rows 2% to 3 ft. apart, spacing the shelled nuts 8 to 10 in. 
apart in the rows, or if planted in the hulls, place them 16 to 18 in. 
apart in the row. Cover with 2 in. of soil. Cultivate and hoe freely. 
In the fall, before frost, dig and hang vines under a shed or in an 
airy room to cure. One pkt. will sow from 15 to 25 ft. of row; 
1 lb. from 100 to 200 ft. according to method used in planting. 
Peanuts are shipped in the hull to prevent damage to the tender 
seeds. They can be planted either shelled or whole.
