Good winter pastures in Florida will be more important in 1949 than in many 
years because of the large number of live stock and the limited feed supplies. 
We recommend that you order as early as possible. Our grass seeds are recleaned, well-bagged, and of highest quality stocks. 
Due to present uncertain conditions, all grass and field seed prices quoted are subject to change without notice.

Beautiful Lawns Can be Grown in Florida 
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 % 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 % 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.

CENTIPEDE GRASS 
Plant 1 bushel of sprigs per 300 to 400 square feet. 
This variety forms a very heavy sod, choking out even Bermuda 
giass and sand spurs. It never needs weeding and is 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 some fertiliizer.

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 best where plenty of moisture is available, but it 
will grow at a low fertility level on most any soil. This grass 
is not well suited to droughty 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 January 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 50 pounds per acre. 
Requires lots of moisture. Useless on dry, sandy soils. 
1 Ib. 25c; 10 Ibs. $1.55; 25 Ibs. $3.40; 100 Ibs. $12.50 
BITTER BLUE-STEMMED ST. AUGUSTINE GRASS 
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 system, so 
will stand more dry weather. The joints are close, and the run- 
ners grow flat on the ground. It does well in shaded places. 
The sprigs should be planted in well prepared soil, setting 
about 6x9 inches apart. 
Shipped only by express, direct from the Florida Nursery. 
Not prepaid, 1 bu. $2.50; 5 bu. $11.75; 10 bu. $22.50 
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 planting because 
of the quick, sure results it produces, the seed germinating in 
a week with proper moisture conditions.

SUDAN GRASS 
Sweet. A new and distinct grass sorghum developed 
by the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station. Resembles com- 
mon Sudan in plant habit and yield, but is sweet and juicy, and 
resistant to several foliage diseases which attack common 
Sudan. Grazing tests have indicated that cattle prefer sweet 
Sudan to common Sudan. Much more productive than common.
