Dixie Runner Peanuts 
Dixie Runner. (120 days.) This variety produces high yields 
like Spanish peanuts, in four years’ tests averaging 53 per cent 
higher yields than the Florida runner, and yet remains dormant 
after maturity like the regular Runners, thus being especially 
suited to “hogging off.” Hog raisers have long wanted a 
variety of this type. It is a vigorous grower with more prostrate 
branches, and therefore is more apt to fill the spaces left by 
skips in the stand. Kernels are very much like the standard 
Florida Runner in size, shape, markings, and color. The pods 
are somewhat lighter and brighter in color, shorter, thicker at 
the waist and more cylindrical in shape. In addition to high 
yield and dormancy characters, this variety possesses a valuable 
quality for shellers, as it shows less than | per cent of concealed 
damage, or decay of the interior of the kernels, which is a 
serious disadvantage of some varieties going to the shelling 
plants, which may average as high as 20 per cent concealed 
damage. 
1 Ib. 40c; 614 Ibs. (pk.) $1.40; 25 Ibs. (bu.) $5.00 
Shelled and treated Dixie Runner. One bushel of good Dixie 
Runners should yield about 16 lbs. shelled peanuts. Plant 25 
Ibs. per acre. 
1 Ib. 60c; 10 Ibs. $2.90; 25 Ibs. $6.75; 100 Ibs. $26.00 
DWARF ESSEX RAPE 
Sow 4 pounds in drills or 8 to 10 pounds 
broadcast per acre. 
For early Spring, Fall or Winter planting for quick green 
forage or grazing for hogs and poultry, there is nothing equal 
to Dwarf Essex Rape. While mostly planted in Fall and early 
winter, it may be planted in early Spring, but it will not stand 
much warm weather. It makes a quick succulent growth. It 
can be planted in rows like turnips, or broadcast covering by 
a light harrowing. It is ready for grazing in eight to ten weeks 
after planting. After cutting, or grazing, it keeps coming out 
again. Rape can be sown with fine results any month from 
September to March. It is a splendid green feed and forage 
crop relished by all kinds of stock and especially by milk cows. 
Pkt. 10c; 1 Ib. 40c; 10 Ibs. $2.80; 25 Ibs. $6.50; 
100 Ibs. $25.00 
RYE 
Sow 3 pecks in drills; broadcast 1 to 14 bushel per acre. 
A bushel weighs 56 pounds. 
Rye can be planted from September to January but October, 
November, and December are the best months in which to 
plant for seed, although for winter and early spring grazing 
earlier planting is recommended. Fertilization is the same as 
for oats. (See page 44.) 
Florida Black. A standard upright, tall-growing variety. 
Northern or western varieties of rye have a tendency to fall 
over on the ground and are not suitable for grazing or cutting 
in Florida. Florida Black and Abruzzi are tall, upright grow- 
ing varieties and both are ready for grazing in about 7 weeks, 
although Florida Black is earlier and claimed to be a better 
seed producer than Abruzzi. Highly recommended by the 
Florida Agricultural Experiment Station. 
Sold out until September 1950 
Abruzzi. One of the best tall growing varieties for Florida, 
producing a heavier tonnage of green feed and grain than most 
other varieties. Tall and upright, and a heavy yielder. 
1 Ib. 30c; 2 Ibs. 55c; 14 Ibs. (pk.) $1.25; 56 Ibs. (bu.) $4.50 


Abruzzi Rye 
RICE 
Sow 12 bushel (22 Ibs.) per acre. 
Rice makes fine feed for both stock and poultry. Prepare the 
ground thoroughly and drill 14 bushel per acre in 214-foot rows 
and cultivate a few times. Should be planted in March or 
April in order that it may mature at a time to miss the rice- 
bird season. If planted in June and July it will also miss the 
bird season. 
Gopher. This is a very popular variety for Florida, and is 
generally known as Upland Rice. Grains heavy, broad, and flat. 
1 Ib. 30c; 2 Ibs. 55c; 11 Ibs. (pk.) $1.75; 44 Ibs. (bu.) $6.50 
Pearl (White). This variety is used very extensively in Flor- 
ida. It produces a heavier, taller, more vigorous stalk with 
heavier heads than other varieties of this type. Does not shat- 
ter as badly as other varieties. Produces long, slender grains. 
Best adapted for low wet land. 
1 Ib. 30c; 2 Ibs. 55c; 11 Ibs. (pk.) $1.75; 44 Ibs. (bu.) $6.50
