ALL GRASS SEED PRICES QUOTED ARE F. O. B. PLANT CITY, EXCEPT 10-LB LOTS OR LESS, WHICH ARE PREPAID 
BERMUDA GRASS 
Sow 25 to 100 pounds per acre 
Seed can be sown from March to November, and should be 
mixed with fine soil when sowing to get a good even distribu¬ 
tion. For pasture, use 25 pounds per acre; for lawns or golf 
courses, where a heavy thick sod is desired, use *4 pound per 
100 square feet or 100 pounds per acre. Bermuda makes a 
beautiful velvety, permanent lawn where plenty of water is 
available and proper care given. When Bermuda turns brown 
in late fall and winter, give it a good application of sheep ma¬ 
nure at the rate of 6 pounds per 100 square feet, or 1 ton to 
acre, and Vi 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 winter 
and spring. 
1 lb. 35c; 10 lbs. $2.80; 25 lbs. $6.50; 100 lbs. $25.00. 
KILGORE’S HULLED BERMUDA 
Sow 1 to 2 pounds to each 1,000 square feet of lawn 
This is the highest grade Bermuda grass seed. Formerly 
thought impossible, the hard, almost water-tight hulls of the 
3eed are removed. This revolutionizes Bermuda lawn planting 
because of the quick, sure results it produces, the seed germi¬ 
nating in a week with proper moisture conditions. 
1 lb. 50c; 10 lbs. $4.10; 25 lbs. $9.75; 100 lbs. $38.00. 
CARPET GRASS 
Sow 25 to 100 pounds per acre 
Plant in fall from October to December, and in spring from 
March to June. For pasture use 26 pounds of seed per acre 
broadcast. Carpet Grass is desirable for lawns and golf courses, 
and for this purpose use hi pound for 100 square feet, or 100 
pounds per acre. Carpet Grass, like practically all other grasses, 
thrives where plenty of moisture is available and the richer the 
soil the better. The more mowing, trampling and grazing it has, 
the better it likes it and the better the lawn. 
1 lb. 25c; 10 lbs. $1.80; 25 lbs. $4.00; 100 lbs. $15.00. 
ITALIAN RYE GRASS 
FLORIDA’S BLUE GRASS 
Sow 50 to 200 pounds per acre 
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 fairways 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 hi 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 60 pounds per acre. 
1 lb. 15c; 10 lbs. $1.00; 25 lbs. $2.00; 100 lbs. $7.00. 
CENTIPEDE GRASS 
Use 1 bushel of sprigs per 600 square feet 
This variety of lawn grass has become 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 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 hi 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 
Shipped only by express. Not prepaid. 
BITTER BLUE-STEMMED ST. AUGUSTINE GRASS 
(Chinch Bug Resistant) 
Use 1 bushel of sprigs per 800 square feet 
This new strain of St. Augustine grass has been proven to 
be a better grass in every way than the old variety of St. Augus¬ 
tine. It is a stronger grower, is much tougher, holds its color 
in cold weather, has a longer and stronger root system, so will 
stand more dry weather. The joints are close, and the runners 
grow flat on the ground. It does well in shaded places. It has 
been planted in many chinch bug infested lawns on the lower 
east coast of Florida and has proven to be extremely chinch bug 
resistant. The sprigs should be planted in well prepared soil, 
setting about twelve inches apart each way. 
Bushel $2.50. Shipped only by express. Not prepaid. 
BAHIA GRASS 
Sow 15 to 20 pounds per acre for pasture 
Bahia grass is a perennial pasture grass spreading by stolons 
(surface runners) and seed. Bahia grass seed can be planted 
any month in the year. Seed should be planted broadcast on well 
prepared ground. The grass has short, thick stolons, and spreads 
slowly, but the root system is large and once a sod is formed 
few other plants are able to encroach on it. It does best on 
productive soils, but will make a good sod on poorer, drier soils. 
1 lb. 40c; 10 lbs. $3.30; 25 lbs. $7.75; 100 lbs. $30.00. 
RYE 
Sow 1 peck in drills; broadcast 1 bushel per acre 
Rye can be planted from September to January, but October, 
November, and December are the best months in which to 
plant. If you wish to cut and feed green instead of grazing it, 
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. 
ABRUZZI. 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. 
1 lb. 15c; 2 lbs. 25c; postpaid. Not prepaid, 14 lbs. (pk.) 70c; 
56 lbs. (bu.) $2.25. 
FLORIDA BLACK RYE. A standard upright, tall growing vari¬ 
ety and a type that always gives satisfactory results in Florida. 
Northern or western varieties of rye have a tendency to fall 
over on the ground and are not suitable for grazing or cutting 
in Florida. Florida Black and Abruzzi are tall, upright growing 
varieties and both are ready for grazing in six to eight weeks. 
1 lb. 20c; 2 lbs. 35c; postpaid. Not prepaid, 14 lbs. (pk.) 75c; 
56 lbs. (bu.) $2.50. 
OATS 
Sow 1 Y 2 to 2 bushels per acre 
A bushel weighs 32 pounds 
If planted in drills, make them lhi feet apart and cover seed 
2 to 3 inches deep. If the seed is broadcast, put them in with a 
tooth harow. The best time to plant oats in Florida is October 
and November. However, the Burt, or 90-Day, can be planted 
as late as January. 
COKER 33-50 (New, Smut Resistant) (115 days.) This year 
for the first time we are able to offer Coker’s strain 33-60 Smut 
Resistant oats. The yield of these oats is much heavier than 
Fulghum. As these oats stool much more than the Fulghum, it 
is not desirable to plant more than one and one-half bushels seed 
per acre, for heavier seeding may crowd the plants too much for 
best results. The plant is strong, sturdy, about 80% as tall as 
Fulghum. Makes a quick, early growth, with short, broad, dark 
green, erect blades. Straw is stiff and storm resistant. Grain 
is large, red, practically beardless. 
1 lb. 15c; 2 lbs. 25c; postpaid. Not prepaid, 8 lbs. (pk.) 45c; 
32 lbs. (bu.) $1.25. 
FULGHUM. (110 days.) This is one of the South’s very best. 
Although later than Burt, it is a far heavier yielder, and is rust¬ 
proof, entirely beardless and drought-resistant. 
1 lb. 10c; 2 lbs. 15c; postpaid. Not prepaid, 8 lbs. (pk.) 35c; 
32 lbs. (bu.) $1.00. 
BURT. (90-Day.) (90 to 100 days.) Quick maturing and one of 
Florida’s most popular oats. It is a sure cropper, and can be 
planted later than any other variety. 
1 lb. 15c; 2 lbs. 25c; 8 lbs. (pk.) 45c; 32 lbs. (bu.) $1.25. 
WINTER TURF. (Grazing) (130 days.) Splendid for pasturing; 
looks more like rye while growing. Severe cold never seems to 
affect this variety. One of the best for grazing. 
1 lb. 15c; 2 lbs. 25c; postpaid. Not prepaid, 8 lbs. (pk.) 50c; 
32 lbs. (bu.) $1.35. 
DWARF ESSEX RAPE 
Sow 4 pounds in drills or 8 pounds broadcast per acre 
F. O. B. Plant City, except 10-Ib. lots or less, which are postpaid 
Rape can be grown on a variety of soils, ranging from a 
sand-bed to a muck pond. Rape is not suitable as a dry forage, 
but for pasture or green feed there is nothing better, producing 
green feed from October until April. It is best sown in drills 
4 feet apart. Rape can be sown from September to March. 
After cutting or grazing off it keeps coming out again. For 
hogs, sheep, and cattle. Rape is a great fat-producer. 
Pkt. 10c; 1 lb. 25c; 10 lbs. $1.30; 100 lbs. $10.00. 
SUNFLOWER 
Sow 6 pounds per acre 
F. O. B. Plant City, except 10-lb. lots or less, which are postpaid 
MAMMOTH RUSSIAN. Plant from March to September. Sow 
6 pounds of seed per acre in drills 3 feet apart and hills 1 foot 
apart in the drill, thinning out to one stalk in the hill when 
4 to 6 inches high. 
1 lb. 20c; 10 lbs. $1.50; 25 lbs. $3.00; 100 lbs. $11.00.
