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. (See page 69.) 
Bermuda, Carpet and Italian Rye Grass are used for pastures as well as lawns. For information on these three grasses 
see pages 39 and 40. 
BAHIA GRASSES FOR PASTURES 
Sow 10 to 15 pounds broadcast per acre for pasture. 
Bahia grass is established with seed planted 14 to ¥% 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.

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 drouth 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.

Argentine Bahia. Sow 2 to 5 pounds per acre. These relatively 
new Bahia grasses have attracted widespread attention as cattle 
pound-producer grasses, all over Florida. They make a semi- 
erect grass generally more vigorous than other Bahias, with 
leaves wider than Pensacola but slightly narrower than Com- 
mon. They are adapted to all kinds of soils, from high dry 
sand to low wet areas. Just as frost-resistant as Pensacola. 
For best results sow seed in late fall or early winter one-half 
to one inch deep. In numerous tests these strains of Bahia 
grass far exceeded other varieties of Bahia in forage pro- 
duced per acre. As nutritious and claimed to be more pala- 
table to cattle than other Bahias. Ideal forage grasses for 
late summer grazing.

BUFFEL GRASS 
Sow 1 to 2 pounds of seed per acre 
This perennial bunch grass has wide adaptation as to soil and 
climate. It stands hot dry weather well. Because of its deep, 
massive root system extending as much as eight feet deep, 
it is unequalled for erosion control and soil building. It pro- 
vides 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 sum- 
mer, 1 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.

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.

BEGGARWEED (Florida Clover) 
Sow 10 pounds per acre. 
Perfectly adapted to Florida sandy soil, and makes one of the 
finest pastures. A splendid quality of most nutritious hay. If 
cut for hay at the time the first flowers appear, the roots will 
send up a second crop which may be saved for seed and from 
which enough seed will scatter to insure a crop for next season. 
For the best quality of hay, the crop should be cut when 3 to 4 
feet high, or at the beginning of the blooming period. Plant 
the seed from April to August. Cover seed lightly, as it is 
small, and if put in the ground too deep it cannot germinate. 
Inoculate seed with Nitragin. (See page 69)

BENNE (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.

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 plantings 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 0-14-14 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 15 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 Ibs. 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.
