All prices are subject to change without notice. We recommend that you order early. 
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 en¬ 
croach on it. It does best on productive soils, but will make 
a good sod on poorer, drier soils. It is important to expose 
the seed to the sun for a few days before planting so as to 
hasten the germination, otherwise it will require about a 
month for the seed to germinate. 
1 lb. 40c; 10 lbs. $3.30; 25 lbs. $7.75; 100 lbs. $30.00. 
DALLIS GRASS 
Sow 10 of 20 pounds per acre. 
Dallis Grass is a large perennial, erect, bunch grass, which 
stands heavy grazing. Under Florida conditions, Dallis 
grass is best suited to muck lands, heavy clay soils of a 
rather moist nature and low flat woods land. It is useless to 
plant Dallis grass on ordinary sandy soil in Florida. Dallis 
grass is very suitable to winter grazing, because it is winter 
hardy. 
1 lb. 35c; 10 lbs. $2.90; 25 lbs. $6.75; 100 lbs. $26.00. 
ALYCE CLOVER 
Sow 5 to 10 pounds per acre. 
F. 0. B. Plant City except pound lots which are prepaid. 
This is a new plant used as a cover crop, soil builder and 
for hay. It has shown great promise especially in the vicinity 
of Lakeland and Bartow, Fla. Seed should be planted on 
well prepared ground and covered very lightly. Planting 
can be done any time from April to June. The crop is simi¬ 
lar to alfalfa in chemical composition. It makes palatable 
hay. It is a good soil builder, not as well adapted, however, 
to high, dry sandy land as is Crotalaria. 
1 lb. 45c; 10 lbs. $3.80; 25 lbs. $9.00; 100 lbs. $35.00.

A Field of Chufas 
BEGGARWEED (Florida Clover) 
Sow 10 pounds per acre. 
F.O.B. Plant City, Except pound lots, which are prepaid. 
Perfectly adapted to Florida sandy soil, and makes one of 
the finest pastures, also a splendid quality of most nutritious 
hay. 
Where the land is once well seeded with Beggarweed, you 
do not have to plant it any more, as it will come up year 
after year. If cut for hay at the time the first flowers appear, 
the roots will send up a second crop which may be saved for 
seed and from which enough seed will scatter to insure a 
crop for next season. 
The seed may also be scattered in the corn rows at the 
time of the last cultivation. For the best quality of hay, the 
crop should be cut when 3 to 4 feet high, or at the beginning 
of the blooming period. Plant the seed from April to August, 
at the rate of 10 pounds per acre. Cover seed shallow, as it 
is small, and if put in the ground too deep it cannot ger¬ 
minate. 
1 lb. 35c. Write for prices on larger lots. 
BENNE OR SESAME 
Sow 4 to 5 pounds per acre. 
Prepaid. 
A tall growing annual herb, about three feet high, produc¬ 
ing flowers followed by seed pods, which shatter the oily seeds 
in great profusion. These seeds are relished by poultry and 
a great use at present is a crop to attract and feed wild 
birds, especially quail and partridges. This is one of the 
finest plants that can be grown for poultry feed. Plant from 
March to July, drilling seed thinly in rows three to four feet 
apart. Can be planted until July. Cultivate the same as corn. 
Benne matures in about four weeks and seeds will continue 
to develop for about three months after it begins to ripen. 
Benne will do well on any soil suitable for corn. 
Pkf. 10c; 1 lb. 35c; 10 lbs. $2.75; 25 lbs. $6.50. 
CHUFAS 
Sow 1 to 1 '/j pecks per acre. 
(90 days.) This is a species of ground nut, easily grown, 
and a wonderful hog fattening crop. Plant from April to 
August. Cultivation is the same as for bunch peanuts. Can be 
left in the ground until time to turn the hogs in, the hogs 
doing the harvesting. Make rows three feet apart, dropping 
seeds six to eight inches apart in the row, and covering about 
two inches. Especially suitable for sandy and loamy soils. 
Highly recommended for Florida. 
1 lb. 25c; 2 lbs. 45c; postpaid. 
Not prepaid, 11 lbs. (pk.) $1.00; 44 lbs. (bu.) $3.50.
