ANDRU - 93 (Protected Variety)- Andru 93 is a runner market-type variety released by the University of Florida Agricultural Experiment Station. The major advantages of this variety are its high yield potential and early maturity. Andru 93 is a sister line of Marc I, with similar characteristics but larger seed size. Both  varieties mature about 10 days earlier than Florunner in the southeastern production area. Andru 93 pod yields are similar to Marc I and are over 10 percent higher than Florunner in Florida tests.

GEORGIA GREEN - (Protected Variety-1994-PVPA) Georgia Green is a highly productive peanut with very good stability across many different environments. It was developed at the University of Georgia Coastal Plain Experiment station in Tifton, GA, and released in 1995 by the Georgia Agricultural Experiment Station. It combines the excellent yielding ability of Georgia Browne with the seed size of Florunner. It has also shown good disease resistance to tomato-spotted wilt virus comparable to Georgia Browne and Southern Runner, but it should be more acceptable overall than either of these latter two cultivars for wide-scale use in regular runner type peanut production.
