Beautiful Lawns Can 
BERMUDA GRASS 
Sow 25 to 100 pounds of seed per acre 
F.O.B. Plant City, except lb. lots, which are prepaid 
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 % 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. Lb. 35c; 10 lbs. $2.80; 25 lbs. $6.50; 
100 lbs. $25.00. 
KILGORE'S HULLED BERMUDA 
Sow 1 to 2 pounds of seed to each 
1,000 square feet of lawn 
F.O.B. Plant City, except lb. lots, which are prepaid 
This is the highest grade Bermuda grass seed. For¬ 
merly thought impossible, the hard, almost water-tight 
hulls of the seed are removed. This revolutionizes 
Bermuda lawn planting because of the quick, sure re¬ 
sults it produces, the seed germinating in a week with 
proper moisture conditions. Lb. 50c; 10 lbs. $4.10; 
25 lbs. $9.35; 100 lbs. $38.00. 
CARPET GRASS 
Sow 25 to 100 pounds of seed per acre 
F.O.B. Plant City, except lb. lots, which are prepaid 
Plant in fall from October to December, and in 
spring from March to June. For pasture use 25 pounds 
of seed per acre broadcast. Carpet Grass is desir¬ 
able for lawns and golf courses, and for this purpose 
use 14 pound for 100 square feet, or 100 pounds per 
acre. Carpet Grass, like practically all other grasses, 
Be Grown in Florida 
thrives where plenty of moisture is available and the 
richer the soil the better. The more mowing, tram¬ 
pling and grazing it has, the better it likes it and the 
better the lawn. 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 of seed per acre 
F.O.B. Plant City, except lb. lots, 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 % 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. $2.75; 100 lbs. £l0.00. 
CENTIPEDE GRASS 
Plant 1 bushel of sprigs per 600 sq. ft. 
This new variety of lawn grass has become very pop¬ 
ular 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 care¬ 
fully. 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 % 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 established. 
1 bu. $1.25; 5 bu. $5.50; 10 bu. $9.50. Not prepaid.
