MR. McGILL PLANTED THE
seed and showed us the result ...
The leafy part of the peanut
plant, had rather small leaves,
on several stems .• , The roots
were numerous, too . . . But the
plant sends out runners, and at
various points along the runner,
little feeder shoots poke them-
selves back into the ground . . .
It is on the end of these that
the peanut grows . . To tell the
truth these peanuts looked and
smelled a good deal like tiny
potatoes . . . *
