BAHIA GRASS 
Sow 10 to 15 pounds broadcast per acre for pasture. 
Bahia grass is established with seed planted 14 to % inch in 
depth. It can be planted any month of the year in Florida. 
Seeds often germinate slowly because they are covered by a 
tough, waxy coat, which does not allow water to enter for germi- 
nation. Exposure to the sun for a few days before planting 
tends to hasten germination. Bahia grass is widely adapted. 
It will grow in dry soils because of its deep root system. It makes 
one of Florida’s best permanent pasture grasses. 
Common Bahia. Common Bahia grass is a low growing 
perennial spreading by short, stout, woody runners and by seed. 
The runners root heavily with large fibrous roots, which form 
a tough sod, even on droughty, sandy soils. The leaf blades are 
shorter and coarser than Pensacola but usually less than % 
inch wide.

Pensacola Bahia (new). This new, narrow leaf, tall, erect- 
growing strain of Bahia grass is very hardy, and claimed to 
stand cold weather conditions better than common Bahia. The 
seed of Pensacola variety usually germinates quicker and 
stronger than common. It succeeds on a wide range of soils. 
It has a heavy root system and withstands drought better than 
other pasture grass. For best results it should -be fertilized 
with 500 lbs. per acre of a complete fertilizer. Prevents erosion 
and provides very palatable pasturage. It withstands heavy 
grazing and is very resistant to trampling by live stock. It equals 
the best grasses in beef production. 
Sold out until September 1949 
ALYCE CLOVER 
Sow 10 to 15 pounds per acre. - 
Used as a cover crop, soil builder, for hay, and as a pasture 
plant. It has shown great promise especially in Central and 
North Central Florida. Experimental data shows that the best 
time for planting Alyce clover in Florida is during spring, pre- 
ferably April, May and June. It must be planted on well- 
drained soil. This plant cannot survive on water-logged soils. 
Soil should be free of contamination with root knot. Seed 
should be planted on well prepared ground and covered very 
lightly, from %4 to 1 inch; deeper plantings result in failure. 
Pack the soil after seeding, if possible. The crop is similar to 
alfalfa in chemical composition and in nutritive value. It makes 
a palatable hay. Cut for hay when it begins to flower. It is a 
good soil builder, and does well on most types of soil. The 
most economical fertilizer application is 200 to 400 pounds per 
acre of 0-16-16 mixture. Lime soil and inoculate seed with 
Nitragin before planting. (See page 77).

WHITE DUTCH CLOVER 
Sow 12 to 15 pounds per acre alone, or 6 to 8 pounds 
per acre in a mixture. 
Recommended principally for mixtures in perennial pastures. 
Furnishes abundant grazing throughout the year in the south. 
Also useful for lawns, especially in mixtures. Does well with 
Bermuda and Dallis Grass. Succeeds best on moist ground and 
during wet seasons. Sow in the late fall and early winter. Inocu- 
late seed with Nitragin before planting. (See page 77.)

BEGGARWEED (Florida Clover) 
Sow 10 pounds per acre. 
Perfectly adapted to Florida sandy soil, and makes on of the 
finest pastures. A splendid quality of most nutritious hay. If 
cut for hay at the time the first flowers appear, the roots will 
send up a second crop which may be saved for seed and from 
which enough seed will scatter to insure a crop for next season. 
For the best quality of hay, the crop should be cut when 3 to 4 
feet high, or at the beginning of the blooming period. Plant the 
seed from April to August. Cover seed lightly, as it is small, 
and if put in the ground too deep it cannot germinate. Inocu 
late seed with Nitragin. (See page 77.) 
1 Ib. $1.75; 10 Ibs. $15.30; 25 lbs. $37.75; 
100 Ibs. $150.00 
BENE (SESAME) 
Sow 3 to 5 pounds per acre drilled. 
A tall growing annual herb, grows 3 to 5 feet, producing 
flowers followed by seed pods, which shatter the oily seeds 
in great profusion. One of the best plants grown for poultry 
feed. Plant from March to July, drilling seed thinly in rows 
three to four feet apart. Cultivate the same as corn. Matures 
in about four weeks and seeds will continue to develop for 
about three months after ripening. Will do well on any soil 
suitable for corn. We have only the native giant or tall variety.

CHUFAS 
Plant 1 to 1% pecks (10 to 15 lbs.) per acre. 
A bushel weighs 40 pounds. 
(90 days.) This is a species of ground nut, easily grown, and 
a wonderful hog fattening crop. Plant from April to August. 
Cultivation is the same as for bunch peanuts. Can be left in the 
ground until time to turn the hogs in, the hogs doing the har- 
vesting. Based on results of experiments by Florida Agricul- 
tural Experiment Station, the greatest increase in yield of Chufas 
can be expected from proper spacing of plants. On sandy loam 
soil, best adapted for Chufas, either 2 ft. rows with plants 12 
inches in the row, or 3 ft. rows with plants 6 inches in the row 
can be expected to give the largest yields.
