Peanuts Are Easily Grown, Easily Harvested, and One of the Very Best Feed Crops 
FIELD SEED (Continued) 
PEANUTS 
Sow 1 bushel per acre. 
In addition to the crop of nuts for hogs, peanuts yield a large 
quantity of nutritious dry forage. Florida Runner Peanuts are 
by far the best when grown to fatten hogs, as they can be left 
in the ground until eaten, but not so with the Spanish Peanuts, 
because they must be harvested as soon as matured, or they will 
sprout and come up the first wet spell. 
It is better to shell the seed that is to be planted. If planted 
in corn, which is a splendid scheme, a bushel will plant 4 acres, 
but where planted solid it requires a bushel of seed per acre, 
in 3-foot rows, dropping seeds in hills a foot apart. Two crops 
of the Spanish types per year can be produced on the same 
ground, if first crop is planted early, but this is not true of the 
Florida Runner variety. 
Improved Spanish. (Valencia). (100 days.) This is a bush 
variety with two to four peas to the pod, making a large amount 
of top which can be converted into most nutritious hay by prop¬ 
er curing. This is the best type to grow for eating peanuts to 
market, as it has the size, productiveness and most excellent 
flavor. 
1 lb. 20c; postpaid. 
Not prepaid, 5J4 lbs. (pk.) 85c; 22 lbs. (bu.) $3.00. 
Small Spanish. (90 days.) This is the little white Spanish 
Peanut, very productive and one of the surest croppers. Two 
crops a year can be produced on the same ground. The nuts 
stick to the vine in harvesting and both tops and nuts are fed 
to cows, horses, and hogs as a whole-grain ration. 
1 lb. 15c; postpaid. 
Not prepaid, 6M lbs. (pk.) 55c; 25 lbs. (bu.) $1.75. 
Florida Runner. (120 days.) This is the principal variety 
for hog feed, as the nuts will remain in the ground in good con¬ 
dition all fall until eaten out by the hogs. 
1 lb. 15c; postpaid. 
Not prepaid, 6*4 lbs. (pk.) 50c; 25 lbs. (bu.) $1.50.

DWARF ESSEX RAPE 
Sow 4 pounds in drills or 8 to 10 pounds 
broadcast per acre. 
F.O.B. Plant City except lb. lots or less which are prepaid. 
For early Spring, Fall or Winter planting for quick green 
forage or grazing for hogs and poultry, there is nothing equal 
to Dwarf Essex Rape. While mostly planted in Fall and early 
winter, it may be planted in early Spring, but it will not stand 
much warm weather. It makes a quick succulent growth. It 
may be used as a substitute for turnip greens. The tops look 
like Rutabagas and growth is similar yet larger, but Rape makes 
no fleshy roots. It can be planted in rows like turnips, or 
broadcast covering by a light harrowing. It is ready for grazing 
in eight to ten weeks after planting. After cutting, or grazing 
it keeps coming out again. Rape can be sown with fine results 
any month from August to March. It is a splendid green feed 
and forage crop relished by all kinds of stock and is relished 
especially by milk cows and increases the production of milk. 
It is also valuable for hogs and poultry, and makes an excep¬ 
tionally fine hog pasture. 
Pkt. 10c; 1 lb. 25c; 10 lbs. $1.30; 100 lbs. $10.00. 
RICE 
Sow bushel per acre. 
Rice makes fine feed for both stock and poultry. Prepare the 
ground thoroughly and drill bushel per acre in 2Mt-foot rows 
and cultivate a few times. Should be planted in March or April 
in order that it may mature at a time to miss the rice-bird sea¬ 
son. If planted in June and July it will also miss the bird season. 
Gopher. This is a very popular variety for Florida, and is 
generally known as Upland Rice. Grains heavy, broad, and flat. 
1 lb. 20c; 2 lbs. 35c; postpaid. 
Not prepaid, 11 lbs. (pk.) 85c; 44 lbs. (bu.) $2.75. 
Pearl. (White.) This variety is used extensively. Produces 
long, slender grains. 
1 lb. 20c; 2 lbs. 35c; postpaid. 
Not prepaid, 11 lbs. (pk.) 85c; 44 lbs. (bu.) $2.75. 
RYE 
Sow 1 peck in drills; broadcast 1 bushel per acre. 
Rye is perhaps the most valuable and leading jail and winter 
forage crop for Florida. Absolutely dependable and will yield 
an enormous amount of grazing throughout the fall and winter 
season. Relished by live stock and poultry. 
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. 
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.) 85c; 56 lbs. (bu.) $3.00. 
Abruzzi. Best tall-growing variety, producing a heavier ton¬ 
nage of green feed and grain than any other type. Tall and 
upright, early and heavy yielder. 
1 lb. 20c; 2 lbs. 35c; postpaid. 
Not prepaid, 14 lbs. (pk.) 75c; 56 lbs. (bu.) $2.50.
