Due to present uncertain conditions, all prices quoted are subject to change without notice. 
In order to get a better growth and to increase nitrogen added to the soil, it is essential to inoculate seed of all leguminous 
crops such as clovers, 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 %4 to 2 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 14 inch wide. 
1 Ib. 40c; 10 Ibs. $2.80; 25 Ibs. $6.50; 100 Ibs. $25.00 
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 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 livestock. 
1 Ib. 80c; 10 Ibs. $6.80; 25 Ibs. $16.50; 100 Ibs. $65.00 
SWEET SUDAN GRASS 
Sow 10 pounds in drills or 20 pounds broadcast per acre. 
A distinct grass sorghum developed by the Texas Agricultural 
Experiment Station. Resembles common Sudan in plant habit 
and yield, but is sweet and juicy, and resistant to several 
foliage diseases which attack common Sudan. Grazing tests 
have indicated that cattle prefer Sweet Sudan to common 
Sudan. Much more productive than common. Plant from 
March to September. 
1 Ib. 35c; 10 Ibs. $2.10; 25 Ibs. $4.75; 100 Ibs. $18.00 
BENE (SESAME) 
Sow 3 to 5 pounds per acre drilled. 
Produces flowers, followed by seed pods, which shatter the oily 
seeds in great profusion and attract quail and other game birds. 
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. 
4 Ib. 30c; 1 Ib. $1.00; 10 Ibs. $8.80; 25 Ibs. $21.50 
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 is during spring. It must 
be planted on well drained soil. Soil should be free of con- 
tamination with root knot. Seed should be planted on well 
prepared ground and covered very lightly. Pack the soil after 
seeding. It makes a palatable hay. Cut for hay when it begins 
to flower. It is a good soil builder. 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. 
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 lbs. of a 4-10-7 
or 4-8-8 fertilizer mixture with 10 to 12 lbs. 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 seedbed. 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 (Louisiana grown) 
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 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. $1.15; 10 Ibs. 9.30; 25 Ibs. $22.75; 100 Ibs. $90.00 
KENLAND RED CLOVER 
Sow 12 pounds per acre. 
This clover is rapidly gaining in popularity in Florida as a 
luxuriant hay and pasture crop for cattle and hogs. It has a 
longer active growing season than some other legumes. Fer- 
tilize with 400 to 600 lbs. per acre of a 0-14-10 or 0-10-10 
fertilizer mixture just before planting time. Seed from Sep- 
tember to December. Grows well with Bermuda and Bahia 
grass. For hay cut when in full bloom. It makes a good 
growth in April, May and June when White Dutch and 
Crimson clover don’t do well.
