BERMUDA GRASS (Unhulled) 
Sow 25 to 100 pounds per acre or 
2 to 4 pounds per 1000 square feet. 
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 44 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. It prefers a loam or clay loam 
soil, and grows well on sand or muck, but requires an ample 
moisture supply. It will not grow well in the shade. It spreads 
by surface runners, also by underground root-stocks. A Ber- 
muda lawn can be started by setting out the plants or by sow- 
ing seed. 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 per acre, and 4% pound 
Italian Rye Grass per 100 square feet, or 200 pounds to acre, 
broadcasting both seed and sheep manure right on top of Ber- 
muda Grass, with no cultivation, but plenty of water. This will 
give a beautiful green lawn throughout winter and spring.

HULLED BERMUDA GRASS 
Sow 1 to 2 pounds to each 1,000 square feet of lawn. 
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 plant- 
ing because of the quick, sure results it produces, the seed 
germinating in a week with proper moisture conditions.

ITALIAN RYE GRASS 
Sow 50 to 200 pounds per acre or 
4. to 6 pounds per 1,000 square feet. 
This is a very 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 or early summer 
comes on. However, for quick covering of lawns and golf 
courses in late fall and winter, it is unsurpassed. Planted in 
October and November it will be ready for the mower in three 
to four weeks, and will make vigorous, luxuriant growth 
throughout fall and winter and well up into late spring. Do 
not plant before October 1 and later than March 1. For lawn 
or golf-course work, plant 4% pound seed per 100 square feet, 
or 200 pounds per acre. This will give good, heavy, thick sod. 
A common practice in Florida is to seed Italian Rye Grass on 
other lawns in the fall and winter for a velvety green all- 
winter lawn. For grazing or hay, plant at rate of 50 pounds 
per acre.

CARPET GRASS 
Sow 25 to 100 pounds per acre or 
2 to 4 pounds per 1000 square feet. 
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 grass- 
es, thrives where plenty of moisture is available 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. This grass 
is not well suited to droughty conditions.

BITTER BLUE-STEMMED ST. AUGUSTINE GRASS 
(Chinch Bug Resistant) 
Use 1 bushel of sprigs per 500 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 chinch bug resistant, and very distasteful to this 
pest of lawn grasses. The sprigs should be planted in well 
prepared soil, setting about 6x9 inches apart.

CENTIPEDE GRASS 
Plant 1 bushel of sprigs per 400 square feet, 
or 70 to 75 bushels per acre. 
This variety forms a very heavy sod, choking out even Bermu- 
da 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, 3 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 % to 1 inch showing. Do 
not cover them entirely. For the first few months the lawn will 
need careful watering and fertilizer.

SUDAN GRASS 
Sow 5 to 20 pounds per acre. 
Seed can be sown from March to August, either in cultivated 
rows 30 inches apart at the rate of 5 pounds per acre, or broad- 
cast at the rate of 20 pounds per acre. By getting a thick stand 
the hay will be of much finer quality. Sudan Grass may be used 
as a green feed same as cattail millet, growing out immediately 
after being cut. Makes a fine pasture.
