We all are with the taste and quality
of peanuts, but few Of US are aware
where they are raised. The little
State of Delaware has the honor OF
growing all that are grown in the
United States. The ground pea (pea-

ground, as its name imports. The
plant has the appearance of the dwarf
garden pea, though more bushy. II
is cultivated in hills. The pea grows
on tendrils which put out from the
plant and take root In the earth
The fruit is picked from the roots by
the hand. and the vines are favor
ite for horses, mules, and cattle
From 80 to 80 bushels are produced or
an acre. There are some planter
who raise from 1000 to 1900 bush
els year.
