HOLLAND JUMBO PEANUTS (ceaneieo) 
A Larger Strain of Virginia Peanuts with Higher Yield, Grade and Value 
155 days. Runner type. Most Virginia peanuts are badly mixed. E. T. Batten, 
Supt. Holland, Va., Experiment Station, bred and furnished us seed of a pure 
strain with higher yield, larger, more uniform pod and kernel that is replacing 
other varieties in Va. and Eastern N. C. It makes the highest per cent of extra 
large kernels for high grade salted nuts and candy. It has the highest per cent of 
large bright colored pods to be hand picked and sold unhulled for roasting. It 
shells out 68% meat. It is best adapted to light sandy soils, high in calcium. It 
grows like ordinary Jumbo and Virginia Runner, but lateral branches are coarser 
and leaflets larger. Our seed fields passed the rigid certified inspection for purity 
and trueness to type. Plant 45 lbs. of shelled seed per acre (85 lbs. unhulled), 10 
to 16 inches apart in 30 to 40-inch rows, closer on poorer soils.

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 nitro- 
gen 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 relished by animals. Furnishes two cuttings 
of hay. Long, thin leaves of fine quality. 2 weeks earlier than Late 
Spectabilis. 
LATE CROTALARIA SPECTABILIS 
Grows 7 feet tall. Yields 15 tons or more of green manure equal to 700
