BAHIA GRASS 
Sow 10 to 15 pounds broadcast per acre for pasture. 
Bahia grass is established with seed planted 14 to 1% 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 
germination. Exposure to the sun for a few days before plant- 
ing 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 14 
inch wide. 
1 Ib. 45c; 10 Ibs. $3.00; 25 Ibs. $7.00; 100 Ibs. $27.00 
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 Ibs. 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. 
1 Ib. $1.00; 10 Ibs. $8.80; 25 Ibs. $21.50; 100 Ibs. $85.00 
ALYCE CLOVER 
Sow 10 to 15 pounds per acre. 
Used as a cover crop, soil builder, for hay, and as a pasture 
plant. The best time for planting Alyce clover in Florida is 
during spring, preferably 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 | 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 or 0-14-10 mixture. 
Lime soil and inoculate seed with Nitragin before planting. 
(See page 73.) 
1 Ib. 35c; 10 Ibs. $2.30; 25 Ibs. $5.25; 100 Ibs. $20.00 
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. 
Fertilize with 400 to 500 Ibs. per acre of 0-14-10 mixture. In- 
oculate seed with Nitragin before planting. (See page 73.) 
Sold out until about September 1, 1950 
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 Ibs.) 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 
harvesting. On sandy loam soil, best adapted for Chufas, plant 
either in 2 ft. rows with plants 12 inches in the row, or in 3 ie 
rows with plants 6 inches in the row. 
1 Ib. 40c; 2 Ibs. 75c; 10 Ibs. (pk.) $2.50; 40 Ibs. (bu.) $9.00 
BEGGARWEED (Florida Clover) 
Sow 10 pounds per acre. 
Perfectly adapted to Florida sandy soil, and makes one of the 
finest pastures. A splendid quality of most nutritious hay. It 
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 73.)
