To get better growth and increase soil nitrogen, it is essential to inoculate seed of all leguminous crops—clovers, 
Southern peas (cowpeas), crotalaria, hairy Indigo, lupines, peanuts, sesbania, etc. (See page 69.) Bermuda, Car- 
pet and Italian Rye Grass are used for pastures as well as lawns. (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 %4 to % 
inch in depth, during any month of the year in Florida. 
Seeds often germinate slowly being covered by tough, 
waxy coat, which does not allow water to enter for 
germination. Exposure to sun for a few days before 
planting hastens germination. Widely adapted. Will 
grow in dry soils because of deep root system. Makes 
one of Florida’s best permanent pasture grasses. 
Common Bahia. A low growing perennial, spreading 
by short, stout, woody runners which root heavily with 
large fibrous roots, forming tough sod, even on drouthy, 
sandy soils. Leaf blades shorter and coarser than Pen- 
sacola but usually less than 4% inch wide. 
1 lb. 60c; 10 Ibs. $2.30; 25 lbs. $5.25; 100 lbs. $20.00 
Pensacola Bahia. Narrow leaf, tall, erect-growing 
strain of Bahia grass, very hardy, claimed to stand cold 
weather conditions better than Common. Pensacola 
variety seed usually germinates quicker and stronger 
than Common. Succeeds on wide range of soils. Has 
heavy root system and withstands drouth better than 
other pasture grasses. For best results fertilize with 
500 lbs. per acre of a complete fertilizer. Prevents 
erosion and provides very palatable pasturage. With- 
stands heavy grazing and is very resistant to trampling 
by livestock. 
1 lb. 75c; 10 Ibs. $4.30; 25 lbs. $10.25; 100 lbs. $40.00 
Argentine Bahia. Sow 2 to 5 pounds per acre. Has at- 
tracted widespread attention as cattle pound-producer 
grass, all over Florida. Makes a semi-erect grass gen- 
erally more vigorous than other Bahias, with leaves 
wider than Pensacola but slightly narrower than Com- 
mon. 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 Argentine 
Bahia exceeded other varieties of Bahia in forage pro- 
duced per acre, As nutritious and claimed to be more 
palatable to cattle than other Bahias. Ideal forage 
grasses for late summer grazing. 
1 Ib. 80c; 10 lbs. $5.00; 25 lbs, $12.00; 
BUFFEL GRASS 
Sow I to 2 pounds of seed per acre 
This perennial bunch grass widely adapted to soils and 
climates. Stands hot dry weather well. Due to massive 
root system extending as much as 8 feet deep, it is 
unequalled for erosion control and soil building. Pro- 
vides excellent, quick growing hay and grazing. Pala- 
table to cattle and possesses high protein content. 
Grows 3 to 4 feet high, even 6 feet under ideal condi- 
tions. Sow preferably in early spring through middle 
of summer, 1 to 2 pounds of seed per acre in rows 36 to 
42 inches apart, 4% to ¥% inch deep, packing soil firmly 
over seed. Fertilize with a complete fertilizer high in 
nitrogen. 
1 lb. $1.75; 10 lbs. $17.25; 25 Ibs. $42.75; 100 lbs. $170.00 
SWEET SUDAN GRASS (Certified) 
Sow 10 pounds in drills or 20 pounds broadcast per acre. 
Resembles common Sudan in plant habit and yield, but 
is sweet and juicy, more productive and resistant to 
several foliage diseases which attack common Sudan. 
Grazing tests have indicated that cattle prefer Sweet 
Sudan to common Sudan. Sow from March to Sept. 
1 lb. 50c; 10 lbs. $1.70; 25 lbs. $3.75; 100 lbs. $14.00 
BEGGARWEED (Florida Clover) 
Sow 10 pounds per acre. 
Perfectly adapted to Florida sandy soil. Makes fine 
pasture, nutritious hay. For best quality hay, cut crop 
when 3 to 4 feet high, or at beginning of blooming 
100 lbs. $47.00 
period. Sow from April to August. Cover seed lightly, 
as it is small, and if put in ground too deep it cannot 
germinate. Inoculate seed with Nitragin. (See page 69.) 
1 lb. $1.15; 10 lbs. $7.80; 25 lbs. $19.00; 100 lbs. $75.00 
BENNE (SESAME) 
Sow 3 to 5 pounds per acre drilled. 
Produces flowers, followed by seed pods, which scatter 
oily seeds in profusion, attracting quail and other 
game birds. Valuable for poultry feed. Plant from 
March to June, drilling seed thinly in rows 3 to 4 feet 
apart. We have only the native giant or tall variety 
growing to a height of from 4 to 6 feet, and rather 
spreading.

ALFALFA-HAIRY PERUVIAN 
Sow 20 pounds per acre. 
A valuable forage and hay crop for Florida. Does well 
in central and south Florida where it is used exten- 
sively by dairy and cattle farmers. Does best on moist, 
dark sandy soils (not subject to flooding). Also does 
well on muck soil. Should be tested before starting 
seedbed and apply sufficient limestone several months 
in advance of seeding worked deep into soil to correct 
pH. The pH should be brought up to 6.5 or 6.8. Extra 
lime can be applied after the seedbed has been prepared 
if pH is too low. After plowing, firm seedbed by disk- 
ing and cultivating. Broadcast 1000 pounds per acre 
of fertilizer high in phosphoric acid and potash plus 
20 pounds of borax ahead of seeding. Inoculate seed 
with double recommended rate of inoculant. Use culti- 
packer type of seeder, and seed from September to 
January at rate of 20 pounds per acre, when soil is 
moist. After seeding apply 500 pounds of a phosphoric 
acid-potash fertilizer broadcast in 60 to 90 days.

ALYCE CLOVER 
Sow 10 to 15 pounds per acre. 
Used as cover crop, soil builder, for hay, and as pas- 
ture plant. Best time for planting is during spring. 
Must be planted on well drained soil free of contamina- 
tion with root knot. Seed should be planted on well 
prepared ground and covered very lightly. Pack soil 
after seeding. Makes palatable hay. Cut for hay when 
it begins to flower. A good soil builder. Most eco- 
nomical fertilizer application is 200 to 400 pounds per 
acre of 0-16-16 or 0-14-14 mixture. 
1 lb, 50c; 10 lbs. $1.90; 25 lbs. $4.25; 
ANNUAL SWEET CLOVER 
Sow 8 to 12 pounds per acre of inoculated seed alone, 
or 3 to 5 pounds per acre in mixed clover plantings. 
A most valuable annual legume crop for grazing and 
soil improvement. May be sown in Florida from Sept. 
through Jan., although from Oct. 15 to Nov. 15 sowing 
is best. Makes a rapid growth, and widely adapted, 
growing best on moist soils not subject to flooding. 
Adapted to higher, drier ground than Louisiana White 
Dutch, requires less moisture. Does not tolerate very 
close grazing. Grazing reaches peak during March and 
April. Liming soil heavily and applying 400 to 600 
pounds of a fertilizer high in Phosphoric Acid and 
Potash at planting time is recommended.

mercial variety for Florida.

strains found volunteering is best adapted to Florida soil 
and climatic conditions. It outyields and comes through 
drouth and cold weather better than other varieties.
