Italian Rye Grass 
Florida’s Blue Grass 
Plant 200 to 250 Pounds Per Acre 
This is a very valuable and desirable 
fall and winter grass for Florida and 
the South, but it does not make a per¬ 
manent lawn. It dies out as soon as 
warm weather of late spring and early 
summer comes on. However, for quick 
covering of lawns and golf courses in 
winter it is unsurpassed. Plant 4 to 6 
pounds per 1,000 square feet. Do not 
plant in Florida before October. It 
will make a vigorous, luxuriant growth 
throughout the fall, winter and early 
spring, but must have plenty of water. 
A common practice in Florida is to seed 
Italian Rye grass on other lawns in the 
fall and winter in order to have a vel¬ 
vety green lawn all winter. Lb. 15c; 
10 lbs. $1.00. 
Bermuda Grass 
Plant 100 to 150 Pounds Per Acre 
Bermuda grass prefers loam or clay 
loam soil, and grows well on sand or 
muck but requires an ample moisture 
supply, or a heavy subsoil which will re¬ 
tain moisture. 
Bermuda will not grow very well in 
the shade. It spreads by surface runners, 
also by underground root stalks. A Ber¬ 
muda lawn can be started by setting out 
the plants or by sowing seed. Seed can 
be planted from March to November. 
For lawns or golf courses, use two to 
four pounds per thousand square feet. 
Bermuda makes a beautiful, velvety, 
permanent lawn where plenty of water 
is available and proper care given. Ber¬ 
muda grass requires frequent weeding 
to keep it free from weeds and pre¬ 
vent it from thinning out. Lb. 35c; 
10 lbs. $2.80. 
Kilgore's Hulled Bermuda 
Plant l to 2 Pounds to Each 1,000 Square 
Feet of Lawn 
This is the highest grade Bermuda 
grass seed. Formerly thought impossi¬ 
ble, the hard, almost water-tight hulls 
of the seed are removed. This revolu¬ 
tionizes Bermuda lawn planting because 
of the quick, sure results it produces, 
the seed germinating in a week with 
proper moisture conditions. Lb. 50c; 
10 lbs. $4.10. 
Carpet Grass 
Plant 100 to 150 Pounds Per Acre 
Carpet grass is particularly well adapt¬ 
ed to moist soil, and, if plenty of plant 
food and moisture are available, will 
grow readily on any soil type. However, 
this grass is not well suited to drouthy 
conditions. Plant in the spring from 
March to June. For lawns and golf 
courses use two to four pounds of seed 
per 1000 square feet. Carpet grass, like 
other grasses, thrives where plenty of 
moisture is available, and is best adapted 
to low moist land. Lb. 25c; 10 lbs. $1.80. 
Centipede Grass 
Use One Bushel of Sprigs Per 600 Sq. Feet 
or 70 to 75 Bushels Per Acre 
Centipede grass makes a very attrac¬ 
tive lawn with less attention than any 
of the other lawn grasses. It requires 
less water and mowing, and once estab¬ 
lished, holds its stand indefinitely. It 
is adapted to dry sandy soils better than 
other grasses. Centipede grass is plant¬ 
ed by sprigs or root runners, three to 
five inches long, in rows 10 to 12 inches 
apart, and 5 to 6 inches apart in the 
rows. Insert these sprigs in the ground, 
leaving about one half to one inch show¬ 
ing. Cover with soil immediately to 
prevent drying out. For the first few 
months the lawn will need frequent wa¬ 
tering until the plants are rooted firmly. 
It is best to plant during the rainy sea¬ 
son. Some weeding will be necessary 
before the lawn is well established. 
1 bu. $1.25; 5 bu. $5.50; 10 bu. $9.50.

Bitter Blue-Stemmed 
St. Augustine Grass 
(Chinch Bug Resistant) 
Use One Bushel of Sprigs per 800 Square Feet 
A better grass in every way than the 
old variety of St. Augustine. 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 is extremely chinch bug resistant and 
very distasteful to this serious pest of 
lawn grasses. Sprigs should be planted 
in well prepared soil, setting about 
twelve inches apart each way. 
Bushel $2.50. Not prepaid. Shipped 
only by Express.
