Italian Rye Grass 
Florida's Blue Grass 
Plant 200 to 250 Pounds Per Acre 
or 4 to 6 Pounds Per 1000 Square Feet 
This is a most valuable and desirable fall and 
winter grass for Florida, but it does not make 
a permanent 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 velvety 
green lawn all winter.

Bermuda Grass 
Plant 100 to 150 Pounds Per Acre 
or 2 to 4 Pounds Per 1000 Square Feet 
Bermuda grass prefers loam or clay loam 
soil, and grows well on sand or muck, but re¬ 
quires an ample moisture supply, or a heavy 
subsoil which will retain moisture. 
Bermuda will not grow very well in the shade. 
It spreads by surface runners, also by under¬ 
ground root stalks. A Bermuda lawn can be 
started by setting out the plants or by sowing 
seed. Seed can be planted from March to No¬ 
vember. 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. Bermuda grass requires frequent 
weeding to prevent it from thinning out. 
Lb. 40c; 10 lbs. $3.00; 25 lbs. $7.00; 
100 lbs. $27.00. 
Hulled Bermuda 
Plant 1 to 2 Pounds to Each 1,000 Square 
Feet of Laum 
This is the highest grade Bermuda grass seed. 
Formerly thought impossible, the hard, almost 
water-tight hulls of the seed are removed. This 
revolutionizes 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. $4.00; 25 lbs. $9.50; 
100 lbs. $37.00. 
Carpet Grass 
Plant 100 to 150 Pounds Per Acre 
or 2 to 4 Pounds Per 1000 Square Feet 
Carpet grass is particularly well adapted 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 July. For lawns and 
golf courses use two to four pounds of seed 
per 1000 square feet.

Centipede Grass 
Use One Bushel of Sprigs Per 500 Square Feet 
or 70 to 75 Bushels Per Acre 
Centipede grass makes a very attractive lawn 
with less attention than any of the other lawn 
grasses. It requires less water and mowing, 
and once established, holds its stand indefinite¬ 
ly. It is adapted to dry sandy soils better than 
other grasses. Centipede grass is planted 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 
showing. Cover with soil immediately to pre¬ 
vent drying out. For the first few months the 
lawn will need frequent watering until the 
plants are rooted firmly. It is best to plant 
during the rainy season.

Bitter Blue-Stemmed 
St. Augustine Grass 
(Chinch Bug Resistant) 
Use One Bushel of Sprigs Per 400 Square Feet 
A better grass in every way than the old 
variety of St. Augustine. It is a stronger grow¬ 
er, 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 
6x9 inches apart. 
1 bu. $1.50; 5 bus. $7.00; 10 bus. $13.50.
