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 Valencia or 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, 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. 
Valencia. (100 days.) This variety is adapted for growing 
in light sandy soils. It fills the demand for a peanut that is 
large and contains more nuts than the common varieties. Pods 
are large, well-filled, usually containing 3 or 4 nuts. 
1 lb. 20c; postpaid. 
Not prepaid, 5^4 lbs. (pk.) 80c; 22 lbs. (bu.) $2.75. 
Small Spanish. (90 days.) This is the little white Spanish 
Peanut, very productive and one of the surest croppers. 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. Write for prices on larger lots. 
Improved Spanish. (95 days.) This variety can be planted 
closer than others, is more easily cultivated and gathered be¬ 
cause the nuts cling firmly to the roots. Not as large as some 
other kinds, but the nuts entirely fill the pod and are very sweet 
and delicious in flavor. Very easily cured. 
1 lb. 20c; postpaid. 
Not prepaid, 6% lbs. (pk.) 80c; 25 lbs. (bu.) $2.75. 
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 tbe hogs. 
1 lb. 15c; postpaid. 
Not prepaid, 6^4 lbs. (pk.) 50c; 25 lbs. (bu.) $1.40.

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 week 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; 25 lbs. $3.00; 
100 lbs. $11.00. 
RICE 
Sow Y 2 bushel per acre. 
Rice makes fine feed for both stock and poultry. Prepare the 
ground thoroughly and drill V 2 bushel per acre in 2^4-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. 
Write for prices. 
Pearl. (White.) This variety is used extensively in Florida. 
Produces long, slender grains.

Fortuna. This is the standard long grain rice used extensive¬ 
ly in Cuba and the West Indies. 
Write for prices. 
RYE 
Sow 1 peck in drills; broadcast 1 bushel per acre. 
Rye is perhaps the most valuable and leading fall and winter 
forage crop for Florida. Absolutely dependable and will yield 
an enormous amount of grazing throughout the fall and ivinter 
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.) $1.00; 56 lbs. (bu.) $3.50. 
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.) 85c; 56 lbs. (bu.) $2.75.
