The period of preflowering extended from the end of the first period to the appearance of the first flower, or about 26 days. The third stage, flowering, fruiting, and maturation, began with the first flower and lasted to maturity or about 80 to 90 days. This life span corresponds to the earliest peanuts known to growers in the United States. Comparable periods in some of the types grown in America would be 7 to 10 days, 30 days, and 120 Figure 8.—Cotyledon from 11-day old peanut seedling, crbss section.
