SESBANIA 
Sow 30 to 40 pounds per acre. 
Sesbania is a most valuable summer cover crop te grow on 
land that is more or less covered with water. Unlike other 
cover crops, Sesbania will grow in water, and will grow ideally 
well in the hot weather of midsummer on low, wet land. Ses- 
bania is valuable under these conditions, not only as a green 
manure cover crop, but also as a means of killing out Bermuda 
Grass, nut grass and other weeds. Beeause of the fact that 
Sesbania grows so rapidly, and makes such a heavy dense 
growth quickly, it smothers out all weed growth. In addition 
to all this, it being a leguminous crop, forming nodules on the 
roots, it fixes atmospheric nitrogen. For best results use Nitra- 
gin. (See page 49.) 
In order to get rapid and high germination on Sesbania seed, 
it is important to have the seed scarified. Scarified seed will 
usually germinate in from three to five days after planting. It 
is generally recommended to plant Sesbania seed broadcast 
at the rate of thirty to forty pounds per acre, even a little 
heavier if weeds are bad. It is usually planted in late May, June 
and July, and a dense tall growth is obtained in about two 
months, at which time, just before blooming, the erop may be 
plowed under with a disk plow, and the stalks will rapidly rot. 
Valuable to plant in corn middles just ahead of the last cul- 
tivation. Also very useful as a bird feed crop if allowed to 
mature. Especially attractive to quail and doves.

SUNFLOWER 
Sow 6 pounds per acre. 
Mammoth Russian. The Mammoth Russian makes three to 
four times as much seed as ordinary varieties. It is also used 
extensively as a windbreak for beans. Plant from March to 
September. Plant seed in drills three feet apart, and hills one 
foot apart in the drill, thinning out to one stalk in the hill when 
four to six inches high.

VELVET BEANS 
Sow 2 pecks (30 lbs.) per acre. 
Velvet Beans are good for groves and truck lands in building 
up the humus; good pasturage for cattle and hogs; and fine 
land renovators. They are specially valuable because they are 
resistant or practically immune to nematodes causing root knot 
disease. Plant from March to August. Use Nitragin. 
Osceola. (140 days.) A splendid producer of both seed and 
vine. This is one of the most popular varieties for Florida. 
90-Day. (90 to 100 days.) This variety makes a very lux- 
uriant growth and an abundant amount of foliage for pasturage 
and soil improvement. It matures quicker than other varieties.

quantity desired. 

STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
We supply Maryland, Delaware and Arkansas grown strawberry 
stock plants direct from nurseries in those states. These north- 
ern grown stock plants are set out in multiplication beds in 
Florida during January, February and March. The young 
plants are usually set in the permanent field from September, 
through October and often through November and early De- 
cember, depending on weather conditions. The northern grown 
plants are usually available about November lst and when 
Florida grown plants are not available are used by commercial 
growers for November setting to produce a winter and spring 
crop of berries and are also used to a great extent for home 
gardens. Care should be exercised never to allow the roots to 
dry out. 
We have discontinued handling locally grown strawberry 
plants to set during early fall. 
Strawberry plants may be planted in rows three feet apart 
for single rows, or 4 to 5 feet apart for double rows, allowing 
16 inches between double rows on each bed. Allow 12 to 14 
inches between plants in the row. 
In setting strawberry plants, holes should be made deep 
enough to set the roots straight. Plants should be set so that 
the surface soil comes just to the crown. Soil should be well 
firmed around the roots, and during dry weather each plant 
should be watered daily for several days after setting, prefer- 
ably in the late afternoon. 
If the land to be set to berries is very sour or acid, apply 
500 lbs. lime or 1200 lbs. hardwood ashes per acre before setting 
plants (see page 58). After the plants are well established, 
3 or 4 successive applications of high grade commercial fer- 
tilizer (4-7-5) should be given the plants at about monthly 
intervals, being sure to make one heavy application of 3-8-8 
when the plants begin to set fruit.

ROSE BUSHES 
Plant any time after October 1 to the end of March. 
Planting and Care of Rose Bushes 
Locate the rose garden in a well drained spot where it receives 
at least five hours of sunlight each day, and avoid the vicinity 
of trees and large shrubs. Plant bushes 2 to 3 feet apart each 
way. When planting, prune the bushes back to about 10”. 
Dig holes sufficiently deep and wide to permit roots of plants 
to be set in natural position and not doubled up. Put two to 
three pounds of Wizard Brand Sheep manure in each hole and 
mix well with a half pound of 3-8-5 fertilizer. Then pour in 
a liberal supply of water, set bush, press the soil tightly around 
the roots, leaving no air spaces. Do not set plant any deeper 
than it originally grew, as indicated by soil mark on stem. All 
the first buds should be pulled off so as to increase the vigor 
and growth of the plant. Roses need lots of water, and should 
be fertilized every six to eight weeks with Vigoro or a 3-8-5 
fertilizer mixture, using about one-half pound per plant, and 
an occasional application of sheep manure will help. During 
the summer, mulch with leaves, decomposed lawn clippings, 
rotted stable or cow manure. Spray or dust thoroughly with 
Nicotine Pyrox, or Kryocide-Copotox Dust (see page 53) at 
least once every week or as soon as diseases or insects appear. 
On sweet soils, spray with manganese sulphate (see page 58). 
We carry a large assortment of different colors and varieties, 
acclimated and adapted especially to Florida growing condi- 
tions. Our rose bushes are Texas grown and are budded on 
Rosa Multiflora.
