Kilg ore's Lawn and Golf-Course Grass Mixture 
Kilgore’s Lawn and Golf-Course Mixture will quickly produce a permanent lawn. 
In this mixture, one variety of seed will produce, from early fall and throughout 
the winter and until middle of April, a heavy, luxuriant, velvety green sod, which 
must be mowed frequently on account of its vigorous growth. During this time the 
other mixtures become well rooted and sodded, and by the middle of April make a 
well-turfed, permanent lawn which will withstand the summer heat without serious 
injury, and make a heavy, luxuriant growth through the summer rainy season and 
through fall, winter, and spring. 
Kilgore’s Lawn and Golf-Course Grass Mixture: ^ 4 lb. 10 c; lb. 35c; 10 lbs. $3.00, 
prepaid. Write for prices on larger quantities. 
Ital ian Rye Grass 
SOUTHERN BLUE GRASS 
Sow 50 to 200 pounds of seed per acre 
F. O. B. Plant City, except 10 -lb. lots or 
less, which are prepaid. 
This is a very valuable and desirable 
fall and winter grass for the South, but 
it does not make a permanent lawn. It 
dies out as soon as warm weather comes 
on. However, for quick covering of 
lawns, golf greens, and fairways in win¬ 
ter it is unsurpassed. Planted earlier 
part of October, will be ready for mower 
in three to four weeks, and will make 
vigorous, luxuriant growth throughout 
fall and winter and well up into late 
spring, but must have moist situation or 
plenty of water. Lb. 15c; 10 lbs. $ 1 . 00 .

Bermuda Grass 
Sow 25 to 100 pounds of seed per acre 
F. O. B. Plant City, except 10-lb. lots or 
less, which are prepaid. 
Seed can be sown from March to No¬ 
vember, and should be mixed with fine 
soil when sowing to get a good even dis¬ 
tribution. For lawns or golf courses, 
where a heavy thick sod is desired, use 
Vi pound per 100 square feet. Bermuda 
makes a beautiful velvety, permanent 
lawn where plenty of water is available 
and proper care given. \i\h. 10 c; lb. 35c; 
10 lbs. $2.80. Write for prices on larger 
quantities. 
Carpet Grass 
Sow 25 to 100 pounds of seed per acre 
F. O. B. Plant City, except 10 -lb. lots or 
less, which are prepaid. 
Plant in the spring from March to 
June. Carpet Grass is desirable for 
lawns and golf courses, and for this 
purpose use Vi pound for 100 square 
feet. Carpet Grass, like practically all 
other grasses, thrives where plenty of 
moisture is available and the richer the 
soil the better. 14 lb. 10c; lb. 30c; 10 lbs. 
$2.25. Write for prices on larger quan¬ 
tities. 
Redtop (Herds Grass) 
Sow 15 to 50 pounds of seed per acre 
F. O. B. Plant City, except 10 -lb. lots or 
less, which are prepaid. 
This Grass does wonderfully well here 
in the South through fall, winter, and 
spring, but goes down during the sum¬ 
mer weather. For the South we think its 
greatest value is for lawns, golf-course 
greens, and home beautification. Redtop 
likes a moist situation, but will thrive on 
any of our southern soils, especially if 
it is watered freely. It has a small, fine 
blade, making it very valuable and desir¬ 
able for lawns or golf greens. Sow from 
October 1 to April. For lawn or golf 
greens, sow Vi pound to 100 square feet. 
141 b. 10 c; lb. 35c; 10 lbs. $ 2 . 00 . Write

Centipede Grass 
Use 1 bu. per 600 sq. ft. 
This new variety of lawn grass has be¬ 
come very popular in the last few years. 
It forms a very heavy sod, choking out 
even Bermuda grass and sand spurs. It 
never needs weeding and is very easy to 
mow. This grass is practically disease- 
free and needs only light applications of 
fertilizer twice a year. 
When planting prepare the soil thor¬ 
oughly and fertilize carefully. This 
grass is planted by sprigs, 3 to 5 inches 
long, in rows 12 inches apart, and 3 to 
4 inches apart in the rows. Insert the 
sprigs in the ground, leaving about Vz to 
1 inch showing. Do not cover them en¬ 
tirely. For the first few months the 
lawn will need careful watering and 
some fertilizer. Some weeding may be 
necessary before the lawn is well estab¬ 
lished. 1 bu. $1.25; 5 bu. $5.50; 10 bu. 
$9.50. Not prepaid.
