SEED PEANUTS 
Will grow on any soil. Light sandy soils produce 
the best quality, easier to hearvest. The vineg, are 
superior to alfalfa in fat, nearly equal in protein 
and will feed livestock throughout! the winter “ghd 
spring. Nuts left in the ground. will fatten hogs..ared 
give the pork a superior flavor. its 4 
Plant in May or early June in 2 to 3-foot rows. 
Our seed is not shelled..Order 60 to 85 Ibs. per acre: 
Shell before planting. Treat with Arosan (page 46). 
Inoculate with Wood's Inoculation Group 5. Cul- 
tivate shallow and frequently until nuts begin 6 
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 cross stakes or brush. Peanuts 
require lime, phosphate and potash. 
Use 400 Ibs. of 0-12-12 fertilizer per acre. 
type use 300 Ibs. of gypsum per acre. 
Dusting 3 times with finely ground sulphur in- 
creases yields 20% to 40%. Apply 20 Ibs. per acre 
about July 15 and 30 Ibs. at 3-week intervals. © 
WOOD'S SEED PEANUTS are especially selected 
for seed purposes. Heavily recleaned, of high ger- 
mination and almost entirely free from pops.

2 New Strains of Virginia Peanuts 
Most Va. type peanuts are badly mixed. E. T. 
Batten, Supt., Holland, Va., Experiment Sta- 
tion, has bred pure strains with higher yield, 
more uniform pod and kernel, that are expect- 
ed to largely replace other varieties in Va. 
and Eastern N. C. He furnished us seed and 
inspected our fields for trueness to type. ~ 
Certified Holland Jumbo 
155 days. Runner type. Highest per cent of 
extra large kernels for high grade salted nuts 
and candy. Highest per cent of large bright 
colored pods. Brings the highest price of any 
peanut. Best adapted to light sandy soils, not 
too fertile, high in lime. Grows like ordinary.” 
Jumbo and Va. Runner, but lateral branches: 
are coarser and leaflets larger. Plant 85 |bs.~, 
unhulled or 45 lbs. shelled seed per acre. 
Certified Holland Va. Runner 
145 days. Exceptionally high meat content 
and yield of oil per acre. Best for making pea- 
nut butter for which half the U. S. crop is used. 
Best for darker, heavier, richer soils, not adapt- 
ed to large bright varieties, and does not re- 
quire as much lime. Vine grows like Jumbo, but 
lateral branches are much smaller and darker. 
Pods are small but well filled. Kernels sur- 
prisingly large for size of pod, are short and 
thick, and screen out 27% extra 
large kernels. 
‘eae 
Improved Valencia 
Bunch type. Most profitable nut 
for average conditions, 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. 
High shelling per cent; a bushel 
of 30 Ibs. shells out 22 Ibs. of 
of nuts. Early maturity; can be 
planted after truck crops.

Holland Jumbo has the largest and most uni-

little dent around the center. Gets best prices. 
White Spanish 
135 days. Bunch type. Earliest maturing pea- 
nut. Two small white nuts entirely fill each pod. 
Superior in sweetness and flavor. Marked free- 
dom from pops so frequently found in large 
varieties. Plant 1'/p in. deep, 6 to 12 in. apart 
in 2 to 2!/ ft. rows, most space on rich soils; 
30 Ibs. shelled or 40 Ibs. unshelled per acre. 
Easier to grow and harvest than other varieties. 
Nuts cling firmly to the roots and are readily 
cured. Shells out 75%. 50% oil.

CROTALARIA 
THE KING OF SOIL BUILDING CROPS 
One of the best summer soil-building crops, 
makes much more leafy growth and root no- 
dules than cow peas or velvet beans, frequent- 
ly 40,000 pounds per acre. When turned under 
the cash value of nitrogen is estimated at 
$30.00 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; com- 
pletely 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 |bs. in 
3-foot cultivated rows. Cover 1'/> inches and 
roll. Do not plant unscaritied seed, as it ger- 
minates poorly, requiring twice as much seed 
per acre. Our seed is scarified, germinates 
readily and is 99% pure. Inoculate with 
Wood's Inoculant Group 5. 
GIANT STRIATA CROTALARIA 
Outstanding for mammoth growth and seed 
production. Grows rapidly, resisting weeds 
and grass. Frequently yields 15 to 20 tons of 
green manure per acre. When this is turned 
back into the soil with the nitrogen gathered 
by its roots, yields of corn or other crops are 
increased enormously. Thrives on sandy loam 
soils so low in fertility other crops fail. Can 
be seeded on small grains in early spring or 
when corn is planted. Not edible. 
CROTALARIA INTERMEDIA 
The only palatable crotalaria strain relished by 
animals. Furnishes two cuttings of hay. Long, 
thin leaves of fine quality. Two weeks earlier 
than Late Spectabilis. 

SS —- meatal 

Late Spectabilis makes a tremendous growth. 
LATE CROTALARIA SPECTABILIS 
Grows 7 feet tall. Yields 15 tons or more of 
green manure, equal to 700 to 1,000 lbs. of 
nitrate of soda per acre.’ Stalks are pithy, 
easily plowed under, and decay readily. Not 
eaten by livestock or insect pests. Will starve 
nematodes out of the soil. Thrives on all soils.
