GRASS SEED 
All grass seed prices quoted are F. O. B. Plant City, 
except lb. lots, which are prepaid. 
BERMUDA GRASS (Unhulled) 
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 distribution. 
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 Grass makes a beautiful 
velvety, permanent lawn where plenty of water is available and 
proper care given. When Bermuda Grass turns brown in late fall 
and winter, give it a good application 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 Grass, with no cultivation, but plenty of water. This 
will give a beautiful green lawn throughout winter and spring. 
1 lb. 40c; 10 lbs. $3.30; 25 lbs. $7.75; 100 lbs. $30.00. 
HULLED BERMUDA GRASS 
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 
•eed are removed. This revolutionizes Bermuda lawn planting 
because of the quick, sure results it produces, the seed germ¬ 
inating in a week with proper moisture conditions. 
1 lb. 55c; 10 lbs. $4.80; 25 lbs. $11.50; 100 lbs. $45.00. 
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 25 pounds of seed per acre 
broadcast. Carpet Grass is desirable for lawns and golf courses, 
and for this purpose use *4 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. 30c; 10 lbs. $2.10; 25 lbs. $4.75; 100 lbs. $18.00. 
ITALIAN RYE 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 weath¬ 
er 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 be¬ 
fore October 1 and later than March. For lawn or golf-course 
work, plant x /z 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. 
1 lb. 20c; 10 lbs. $1.30; 25 lbs. $2.75; 100 lbs. $10.00. 
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. 
SUDAN GRASS 
Sow 5 to 20 pounds per acre. 
Sudan Grass lacks root-stocks and therefore never becomes a 
pest. Seed can be sown from March to August, either in culti¬ 
vated rows 30 inches apart at the rate of 5 pounds per acre, or 
broadcast at the rate of 20 pounds per acre. By getting a good 
thick stand the hay will be of much finer quality. Sudan Grass 
may be used as a green feed same as cattail millet, as it grows 
out immediately after being cut, or makes a fine pasture. 
A mixture of Sudan Grass and cowpeas makes an excellent 
summer and early fall pasture. Use a mixture of 10 pounds 
Sudan Grass, and a bushel of peas per acre, and to get most 
even distribution, it is better to sow the two seeds separately. 
1 lb. 15c; 10 lbs. $1.10; 25 lbs. $2.25; 100 lbs. $8.00. 
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 is 
extremely chinch bug resistant. The sprigs should be planted in 
well prepared soil, setting about twelve inches apart each way 
1 bu. $2.50; 5 bu. $12.00; 10 bu. $23.00. 
Shipped only by express. Not prepaid. 
CENTIPEDE GRASS 
Plant 1 bushel of sprigs per 600 square feet. 
This variety forms a very heavy sod, choking out even Ber¬ 
muda 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. 
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 entirely. For the first few months the lawn will need 
careful watering and some fertilizer. 
1 bu. $1.25; 5 bu. $5.50; 10 bu. $9.50.
