Florida 167 Oats 
OATS 
Sow 5 pecks (40 Ibs.) per acre in drills; broadcast 2 to 
21% bu. per acre. 
A bushel weighs 32 pounds. 
Plant in drills 1% feet apart and cover seed 2 to 3 inches 
deep. If the seed is broadcast, use tooth harrow. The best 
time to plant oats in Florida is October and November, but 
can be planted to January. Land should receive 200 to 300 lbs. 
per acre of complete fertilizer, such as 3-8-5 at planting. 
New improved Ceresan dust partially, if not entirely, controls 
seed borne infections of “Helminthosporium” a fungus which 
causes a new blight and root rot of oats. (See page 59). 
Florida 167 (115 days.) Originated and developed by 
the Florida Agricultural Experiment Station from a cross 
of Fulghum with Bond, which was introduced from Australia 
by the U. S. D. A. in 1929, for early maturity and rust resist- 
ance. The grains are plump, heavy and of high feeding value. 
Makes stiff, storm resistant straw. An outstandingly profitable, 
high yielding, early grain oat for the light sandy soils of cen- 
tral and south Florida, where spring droughts are common. It 
matures before spring droughts become too severe on such 
lands. In the Gainesville, Fla., section this oat has done ex: 
ceptionally well in producing a high yield, when other varieties 
in adjoining plots have failed. As a result of years of breeding 
and selection this oat is remarkably uniform in type. 
Sold out until fall 1948 
Florilee. (130 days.) This variety, developed at the North 
Florida Experiment Station, is a red oat, highly resistant to 
rust and immune to smut, and has very full, plump, heavy 
kernels. It is rather late in maturity, which is a serious dis- 
advantage as a grain crop on sandy land, due to spring drought 
cutting the grain yield in central and south Florida, where. 
because of its leafy early growth it is principally used as a 
winter grazing oat. Always treat seed with Ceresan dust. 
1 Ib. 25c; 2 Ibs. 45; postpaid. 
Not prepaid, 8 lbs. (pk.) 75c¢; 32 Ibs. (bu.) $2.65 
CATTAIL OR PEARL MILLET 
Sow 8 to 10 pounds per acre. 
This is one of the best yielders of green forage and hay, and 
continues to grow and produce through the entire season if cut 
frequently enough for hay to prevent its going to seed. A 
tropical plant making an enormous growth. Relished by all 
kinds of stock, and they eat it greedily. No plant will go fur- 
ther towards solving the forage problem in Florida. Plant in 
early spring as soon as frost danger is past in March, and can 
be planted from then on until September 1. Sow thinly in rows 
three feet apart. 
1 lb. 35c, postpaid.

GOLDEN MILLET (Formerly called German Millet) 
Sow 1 bushel (50 Ibs.) per acre. 
Golden Millet is an important hay crop, relished by horses 
and cattle. Seed thickly, not less than one bushel per acre. 
For an early hay crop plant in March and April. For 
a second crop plant in July and August. It matures in 
from six to eight weeks after seeding. Cut while in bloom, 
before the seed hardens in the head, because after that the hay 
quality decreases. For a large yielding, nutritious, quick grow- 
ing hay crop there is nothing better than Golden Millet.

PEANUTS 
Plant 1 bushel per acre. 
A bushel weighs 25 Ibs., except Valencia 22 lbs. per bu. 
In addition to the crop of nuts for hogs, peanuts yield a large 
quantity of nutritious dry forage. Florida Runner -Peanuts 
are by far the best when grown to fatten hogs, as they can be 
left in the ground until eaten. 
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. Plant from March to July. For 
best results inoculate peanuts with Nitragin. (See page 49.) 
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 yarieties. Pods 
are large, well-filled, usually containing 3 or 4 nuts. 
1 Ib. 50c, postpaid.

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.
