In order to get a better growth and to increase nitrogen added to the soil, it ts essential to inoculate seed of all leguminous 
crops such as clovers, beggarweed, Southern peas (cowpeas), crotalaria, hairy Indigo, lupines, peanuts, sesbania and velvet 
beans. (See page 69.) 
BAHIA GRASS 
Sow 10 to 15 pounds broadcast per acre for pasture. 
Bahia grass is established with seed planted 14 to 14 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. The run- 
ners 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 1 inch wide.

Pensacola Bahia. This 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 com- 
mon. It succeeds on a wide range of soils. It has a heavy root 
system and withstands drought better than other pasture 
grasses. 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.

BEGGARWEED (Florida Clover) 
Sow 10 pounds per acre. 
Perfectly adapted to Florida sandy soil, and makes one of the 
finest pastures. Also makes a splendid quality of most nu- 
tritious hay. For the best quality of hay, the crop should be 
cut when 8 to 4 feet high, or at the beginning of the blooming 
period. Plant the seed from April to August. Cover seed lightly.

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 which attract quail and other game birds. Makes 
an enormous amount of nutritious fattening seeds valuable 
for poultry feed. Plant from March to June, drilling seed 
thinly in rows three to four feet apart. Cultivate the same as 
corn. Matures in about four months and seeds will continue 
to develop for about two months after ripening. Will do well 
on any soil suitable for corn. We have only the native giant 
or tall variety which grows to a height of from 4 to 6 feet, 
and rather spreading in character of growth.

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. It must be planted on well-drained soil. Soil 
should be free of contamination with root knot. Seed should 
be planted on well prepared ground and covered very lightly. 
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.

AUTAUGA RESEEDING CRIMSON CLOVER 
Sow 10 to 15 pounds per acre in drills or 15 to 20 pounds 
per acre broadcast 
This clover has proven to be one of the most valuable winter 
grazing and cover crops for north and central Florida. It is 
adapted to a wide range of soils and climates, but will give 
best results during the winter months on well drained sandy 
loam. 500 to 700 Ibs. of a 4-10-7 or 4-8-8 fertilizer mixture with 
10 to 12 Ibs. of borax per acre applied two to three weeks ahead 
of seeding is recommended, with soil limed to a pH of 6.0 to 6.5. 
Plant in north and central Florida from November | to January 
1. Plant after a good rain on a firm seed bed. Cover seed 
lightly by use of a cultipacker, weeder or drag. Where allowed 
to mature seed it reseeds itself almost 100 per cent.

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. 
1 Ib. $1.50; 10 Ibs. $13.30; 25 Ibs. $32.75; 100 Ibs. $130.00 
CHUFAS 
Plant | to 114 pecks (10 to 15 Ibs.) per acre. 
(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 ft. 
tows with plants 6 inches in the row.
