PASTURE GRASSES AND CLOVERS 
All prices quoted are f.o.b. Plant City except 1 lb. and 2 Ib. lots which are postpaid. 
Write for prices on larger quantities. 
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, etc. 
BAHIA GRASS 
Sow 10 to 15 pounds broadcast per acre for pasture. 
Bahia grass is established with seed planted 4 to ¥ inch in 
depth. It can be planted any menth 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.

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 livestock.

-Argentine Bahia. Sow 2 to 5 pounds per acre. This relatively 
new Bahia grass has attracted widespread attention as a cattle 
pound-producer grass all over Florida. It makes a semi-erect 
grass generally more vigorous than other Bahias, with leaves 
wider than Pensacola but slightly narrower than Common. It 
is adapted to all kinds of soils, from high dry sand to low wet 
areas. It is just as frost-resistant as Pensacola. For best re- 
sults sow seed in late Fall or early Winter one-half to one inch 
deep. In numerous tests Argentine far exceeded other varieties 
of Bahia in forage produced per acre. It is as nutritious and 
claimed to be more palatable to cattle than other Bahias. An 
ideal forage grass for late summer grazing. Introduced only 
three years ago, planting of Argentine has been somewhat pro- 
hibitive because of high per pound seed cost. It once sold as 
high as $20.00 and $25.00 per pound.

BUFFEL GRASS 
Sow 1 to 2 pounds of seed per acre 
This new pasture, hay and soil building crop has attracted 
a great deal of attention because of these advantages claimed 
for it: (1) Drouth resistant; (2) highly palatable; (3) very nutri- 
tious; (4) fast growing; (5) deep rooted; (6) erosion protecting. 
This perennial bunch grass has wide adaptation as to soil and 
climate. It grows well in very dry low fertility sandy soils, 
and has a wide range of temperature tolerance, although re- 
garded primarily as a warm season grass. It stands hot dry 
weather well. Because of its deep, massive root system ex- 
tending as much as eight feet deep, it is unequalled for erosion 
control and soil building. It provides excellent, quick growing 
hay and grazing. It is palatable to cattle and possesses a high 
protein content. Grows three to four feet high, and even six 
feet under ideal conditions. Plant preferably in early Spring 
through the middle of the summer, | to 2 pounds of seed per 
acre in rows 36 to 42 inches apart. Plant one-fourth to one- 
half inch deep, being sure to pack soil firmly over the seed. 
Fertilize with a complete fertilizer high in nitrogen. Cultivate 
to control weeds until the new seedlings are well ahead of the 
weeds,

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. 
Write for prices. 
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. 
Vatuable 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 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.

HUBAM SWEET CLOVER 
Sow 8 to 12 pounds per acre alone, or 3 to 5 pounds 
per acre in mixed clover plantings. 
A most valuable winter annual legume crop for grazing and 
soil improvement. It is subject to frost injury, but may be 
sown in Florida from September through January. It makes 
a rapid and luxurious growth. It is widely adapted from the 
standpoint of soil moisture, growing best on moist soils not 
subject to flooding. It is adapted to higher, drier grounds 
than is Louisiana White Dutch, and requires less moisture 
than White Dutch. It does not tolerate very close grazing. 
Cattle do not eat it readily at first, but after they have access 
to it for some time they relish it. Grazing reaches its peak 
during March and April. Liming soil heavily prior to planting 
is recommended.

AUTAUGA RESEEDING CRIMSON CLOVER 
Sow 8 to 12 pounds per acre in drills or 12 to 5 pounds 
per acre broadcast. 
One of the most valuable winter grazing and cever 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 b2 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.
