BERMUDA GRASS (Unhulled) 
Sow 25 to 100 pounds per acre. 
Seed can be sown from March to November, and should be 
mixed with fine soil when sowing to get a good even distribu¬ 
tion. For pasture, use 25 pounds per acre; for lawns or golf 
courses, where a heavy thick sod is desired, use % pound per 
100 square feet or 100 pounds per acre. Bermuda Grass 
makes a beautiful velvety, permanent lawn where plenty of 
water is available and proper care given. When Bermuda 
Grass turns brown in late fall and winter, give it a good 
application of sheep manure at the rate of 5 pounds per 100 
square feet, or 1 ton to acre, and y 2 pound Italian Rye 
Grass per 100 square feet, or 200 pounds to acre, broadcasting 
both seed and sheep manure right on top of Bermuda Grass, 
with no cultivation, but plenty of water. This will give a 
beautiful green lawn throughout winter and spring. 
1 lb. 40c; 10 lbs. $3.00; 25 lbs. $7.00; 100 lbs. $27.00. 
CARPET GRASS 
Sow 25 to 100 pounds per acre. 
Plant in fall from October to December, and in spring from 
March to June. For pasture use 25 pounds of seed per acre, 
broadcast. Carpet Grass is desirable for lawns and golf 
courses, and for this purpose use *4 pound for 100 square 
feet, or 100 pounds per acre. Carpet Grass, like practically 
all other grasses, thrives where plenty of moisture is avail¬ 
able and the richer the soil the better. The more mowing, 
trampling and grazing it has, the better it likes it and the 
better the lawn. 
1 lb. 30c; 10 lbs. $2.40; 25 lbs. $5.50; 100 lbs. $21.00. 
ITALIAN RYE GRASS 
Sow 50 to 200 pounds per acre. 
This is a very valuable and desirable fall and winter grass 
for Florida, but not permanent, giving way as soon as warm 
weather comes on; however, for quickly grown beautiful 
green lawns, golf greens, and fairways it cannot be excelled. 
Planted earlier part of October it will be ready for the 
mower in three to four weeks, and will make vigorous, lux¬ 
uriant growth throughout fall and winter and well up into 
late spring. Do not plant before October 1 and later than 
March. For lawn or golf-course work, plant y 2 pound seed 
per 100 square feet, or 200 pounds per acre. This will give 
good, heavy, thick sod. For grazing or hay, plant at rate of 
50 pounds per acre. 
1 lb. 15c; 10 lbs. SI.10; 25 lbs. $2.25; 100 lbs. $8.00. 
HULLED BERMUDA GRASS 
Sow 1 to 2 pounds to each 1,000 square feet of lawn. 
This is tiie highest grade Bermuda grass seed. Formerly 
thought impossible, the hard, almost water-tight hulls of the 
seed are removed. This revolutionizes Bermuda lawn plant¬ 
ing because of the quick, sure results it produces, the seed 
germinating in a week with proper moisture conditions. 
1 lb. 50c; 10 lbs. $4.25; 25 lbs. $10.25; 100 lbs. $40.00. 
BITTER BLUE-STEMMED ST. AUGUSTINE GRASS 
(Chinch Bug Resistant) 
Use 1 bushel of sprigs per 200 to 300 square feet. 
This strain is better in every way than the old variety of 
St. Augustine. It is a stronger grower, is much tougher, holds 
its color in cold weather, has a longer and stronger root sys¬ 
tem, 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. The 
sprigs should be planted in well prepared soil, setting about 
6x9 inches apart.

CENTIPEDE GRASS 
Plant 1 bushel of sprigs per 300 to 400 square feet. 
This variety forms a very heavy sod, choking out even Ber¬ 
muda grass and sand spurs. It never needs weeding and is 
very easy to mow. This grass is practically disease-free. 
Centipede grass is planted by sprigs, 8 to 5 inches long, in 
rows 12 inches apart, and 3 to 4 inches apart in the rows. 
Insert the sprigs in the ground, leaving about y 2 to 1 inch 
showing. Do not cover them entirely. For the first few 
months the lawn will need careful watering and some fer¬ 
tilizer.

Lake Wales, Florida, Nursery.

SUDAN GRASS 
Sow 5 to 20 pounds per acre. 
Seed can be sown from March to August, either in culti¬ 
vated rows 30 inches apart at the rate of 5 pounds per acre, 
or broadcast at the rate of 20 pounds per acre. By getting a 
good thick stand the hay will be of much finer quality. Sudan 
Grass may be used as a green feed same as cattail millet, as 
it grows out immediately after being cut, or makes a fine 
pasture. 
1 lb. 15c; 10 lbs. 90c; 25 lbs. $1.75; 100 lbs. $6.00.
