CAMELLIA OATS 
Sow 5 pecks (40 Ibs.) per acre in drills; broadcast 2 to 214 
bu. per acre. A bushel weighs 32 pounds. 
Plant in drills 114 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 250 to 400 Ibs. per 
acre of complete fertilizer, such as 3-8-5 at planting, followed 
by a side-dressing of 150 to 200 Ibs. Nitrate of Soda or its 
equivalent after the crop is half grown. 
New improved Ceresan dust partially, if not entirely, controls 
seed borne infections of “Helminthosporium” a fungus which 
causes a blight and root rot of oats. (See page 63). 
Camellia (Disease resistant) (new). (135 days.) This new dis- 
ease resistant variety originated from a cross of Bond and Adler, 
was developed by the Louisiana Agricultural Experiment 
Station, Baton Rouge, La. It was first distributed in Louisiana 
about 1943, and has made oat production feasible in the south- 
east. Camellia is highly resistant to crown rust, including the 
now prevalent Race 45, which attacks other Bond derivatives 
such as Florida 167, Victoria blight, and is also resistant to 
many Races of the oat Smuts. It matures in about the same 
time as the red rustproof strains. It is susceptible to Helmin- 
thosporium leaf and glume blotch as are most all oat varieties. 
It grows tall, has fairly stiff straw, and produces short, very 
plump red seeds. Camellia was first recommended for growing 
in Florida during 1948-49, primarily because of its Victoria and 
Crown Rust resistance. In trials by the Florida Agricultural 
Experiment Station it has proved equal for grazing and for 
seed production purposes to any variety now commercially 
available. The Florida Experiment Station, as a result of 
many trials, now recommends it for general growing in the 
state for grazing and especially for grain, primarily because of 
its increased resistance to Crown Rust, although it is later in 
maturing than is desirable in north central Florida. It has a 
spring or upright type of plant growth and makes an ex- 
cellent early grazing and grain oat. 
1 Ib. 25c; 2 Ibs. 45c; 8 Ibs. (pk.) 85c; 32 Ibs. (bu.) $2.75 
Tift Red Rust Proof No. 14 (new). (140 days.) This new 
variety of oat has been very successfully grown in south 
Georgia and in tests in north Florida shows much promise. It 
was developed by the Georgia Coastal Plains Experiment 
Station at Tifton, Ga. It makes a winter or prostrate type of 
growth and consequently will not produce grazing as early as 
Camellia, but it’ tillers well, has a fairly stiff straw, is hardy, 
- and makes an immense amount of pasturage. It is later in 
maturing than Camellia, and therefore is not as well adapted 
for grain purposes on lighter soils of north central Florida. 
This oat is highly resistant to Victoria blight and only moder- 
ately susceptible to Crown rust. It is a good grazing oat, but 
too late for a good grain oat.

| Our field seed for Florida is not purchased on the open 
market, but is grown year after year for us by the same seed 
growers who have made a specialty of producing field crops 
for seed. For these reasons, when you plant Kilgore’s field 
seed, which has been produced for you by specialists, you 
may be certain of getting the best strains of high yielding 
varieties adapted especially to Florida growing conditions. 
| Such seed costs more to produce, and is worth more to plant 
than the ordinary run of field seed. 
PEARL OR CATTAIL MILLET 
Sow 8 to 10 pounds per acre in rows 3 feet apart. 
Sow 20 to 25 pounds per acre broadcast for pasturage. 
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 further 
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. For pasturage, sow broadcast 20 to 25 Ibs. 
per acre. 
1 Ib. 35c; 10 Ibs. $1.80; 25 Ibs. $4.00; 100 Ibs. $15.00 
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 73.) 
To control leaf spot dust with sulphur. To control cater- 
pillars use DDT up to three weeks before harvest. 
Shelled peanuts are treated so they will keep better and 
longer, and also to protect them from rot and disease after they 
are planted and to increase the stand. It is best not to use 
Nitragin inoculation with treated shelled peanuts. 
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 varieties. Pods 
are large, well-filled, usually containing 3 or 4 nuts. 
1 Ib. 50c; 51% Ibs. (pk.) $1.75; 22 Ibs. (bu.) $6.50 
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. 
1 Ib. 50c; 614 Ibs. (pk.) $1.65; 25 Ibs. (bu.) $6.00 
Shelled and treated Spanish. One bushel of Spanish peanuts 
yields about 17 lbs. shelled peanuts. Plant 30 Ibs. per acre.
