Seed can be sown from March to November, and 
should be mixed with fine soil when sowing to get a 
good even distribution. For pasture, use 25 pounds 
per acre; for lawns or golf courses, where a heavy 
thick sod is desired, use % pound per 100 square feet 
or 100 pounds per acre. Bermuda makes a beautiful 
velvety, permanent lawn where plenty of water is avail¬ 
able and proper care given. When Bermuda turns 
brown in late fall and winter, give it a good applica¬ 
tion of sheep manure at the rate of 5 pounds per 100 
square feet, or 1 ton to acre, and V 2 pound Italian Rye 
Grass per 100 square feet, or 200 pounds to acre, 
broadcasting both seed and sheep manure right on top 
of Bermuda, with no cultivation, but plenty of water. 
This will give a beautiful green lawn throughout win¬ 
ter and spring. 1-4 lb. 15c; lb. 40c; 10 lbs. $3.40; 25 
lbs. $7.75; 100 lbs. $30.00.

better the lawn. lb. 10c; lb. 35c; 10 lbs. $2.00; 25

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 Florida, but not permanent, giving way as 
soon as warm weather comes on; however, for quickly 
grown beautiful green lawns, golf greens, and fair¬ 
ways it cannot be excelled. Planted earlier part of 
October it will be ready for the mower in three to 
four weeks, and will make vigorous, luxuriant growth 
throughout fall and winter and well up into late 
spring. Do not plant before October 1 and later than 
March. For lawn or golf-course work, plant V 2 pound 
seed per 100 square feet, or 200 pounds per acre. 
This will give good, heavy, thick sod. For grazing or 
hay, plant at rate of 50 pounds per acre. Lb. 20c; 
10 lbs. $1.30; 25 lbs. $2.50; 100 lbs. $10.00. 
CENTIPEDE GRASS 
Use 1 bushel of sprigs per 600 sq. ft. 
This new variety of lawn grass has become very popular in 
the last few years. It forms a very heavy sod, choking out 
even berniuda 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 and fertilize carefully. This 
grass is planted by sprigs, 3 to 6 inches long, in rows 12 
inches apart, and 3 to 4 inches apart in the rows. Insert the 
sprigs in the ground, leaving about % to 1 inch showing. Do 
not cover them entirely. For the first few months the lawn 
will need careful watering and some fertilizer. Some weeding 
may be necessary before the lawn is well established. 1 bu. 
$1.25; 5 bu. $5.50; 10 bu. $9.50. Not prepaid. 
RYE

November, and December are the best months in which to

plant in drills, 3 feet apart, using a peck of seed per acre, but 
where planted broadcast, it will take 1 bushel to seed an acre. 
AKril771 during the last few seasons this variety has been 
planted very extensively and has proven to be one 
of the very best for Florida. Strictly a southern- 
grown variety, producing a heavier tonnage of green feed and 
grain than other types. Grows tall and upright, and is an early 
and a heavy yielder. Lb. 15c; 2 lbs. 25c; postpaid. Not prepaid,

Florida RlarL* Rva A standard upright, tall growing 
variety and a type that always gives 
satisfactory results in Florida.

ing varieties and both are ready for grazing in six to eight 
weeks. Lb. 20c; 2 lbs. 35c; postpaid. Not prepaid, 14 lbs. (pk.)

and not to cut, it will be found satisfactory. Lb. 15c; 2 lbs. 
25c; postpaid. Not prepaid, 14 lbs. (pk.) 65c; 56 lbs. (bu.) $2.10. 
OATS

ber and November. However, the Burt, or 90-Day, can be 
planted as late as January. 
FiilcrKum (HO days.) This is one of the South’s very 
best. Although later than Burt, it is a far 
heavier yielder, and is rustproof, entirely beard¬ 
less and drought-resistant. Lb. 10c; 2 lbs. 15c; postpaid. Not 
prepaid, 8 lbs. (pk.) 35c; 32 lbs. (bu.) $1.00.
