PEANUTS (Continued) 
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 dor- 
mant 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 va- 
riety possesses a valuable quality for shellers, as it shows less 
than 1 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.

Shelled and treated Dixie Runners. One bushel of good Dixie 
Runners should yield about 16 lbs. shelled peanuts. Plant 25 
Ibs. per acre.

DWARF ESSEX RAPE 
Sow 4 pounds in drills or 8 to 10 pounds 
broadcast per acre. 
For ealy 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. 50c; 10 Ibs. $2.30; 25 Ibs. $5.25 
100 Ibs. $20.00 
RYE 
Sow 3 pecks in drills; broadcast 1 to 144 bushels 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 and 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 is upright in growth and is ex- 
ceptionally well suited for early grazing, it making pasturage 
very quickly, and it withstands cold very well. Highly recom- 
mended by the Florida Agricultural Experiment Station. 
1 Ib. 40c; 2 Ibs. 75c; 14 Ibs. (pk.) $1.35; 56 Ibs. (bu.) $4.50 
Abruzzi (certified). 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. 40c; 2 Ibs. 75c; 14 Ibs. (pk.) $1.25; 56 Ibs. (bu.) $4.25 
Abruzzi Rye 
RICE 
Sow 14 bushel (22 Ibs.) per acre. 
Rice makes fine feed for both stock and poultry. Prepare the 
ground thoroughly and drill 4% 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, but will also do well on low 
land. Grains heavy, broad, and flat.

Pearl (White). This variety is used very extensively in Florida. 
It produces a heavier, taller, more vigorous stalk with heavier 
heads than other varieties of this type. Does not shatter as 
badly as other varieties. Produces long, slender grains. Best 
adapted for low wet land.
