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 Pea¬ 
nuts 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 har¬ 
vested 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, 5Vi 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. Pk. 55c; 25 lbs. (bu.) $1.75. 
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, 614 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 
condition all fall until eaten out by the hogs. 
1 lb. 15c; postpaid. 
Not prepaid, 614 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 pound lots, 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 succu¬ 
lent 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 harrow¬ 
ing. It is ready for grazing in eight to ten weeks after plant¬ 
ing. 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 rel¬ 
ished 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 exceptionally fine hog 
pasture. 
Pkt. 10c; 1 lb. 25c; 10 lbs. $1.50; 25 lbs. $3.25; 
100 lbs. $12.00. 
RICE 
Sow Vi bushel per acre. 
Rice makes fine feed for both stock and poultry. Prepare 
the ground thoroughly and drill y 2 bushel per acre in 2y 2 - 
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 season. 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. Best adapted for low wet 
lands. Write for prices. 
Fortuna. This is the standard long grain rice used exten¬ 
sively in Cuba and the West Indies. It produces a heavier, 
taller, more vigorous stock with a heavier head than other 
varieties. Best adapted for lowlands, but may also be grown 
as an upland rice. Matures a little later than Pearl. Does not 
shatter as badly as other varieties. 
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 winter season. Relished by live stock and poultry. 
Rye can be planted from September to January but Octo¬ 
ber, 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 Flor¬ 
ida. 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 about seven weeks. 
1 lb. 20c; 2 lbs. 35c; postpaid. 
Not prepaid, 14 lbs. (pk.) 95c; 56 lbs. (bu.) $3.25. 
Abruzzi. Best tall-growing variety, producing a heavier 
tonnage 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
