PEANUTS (Continued) 
Dixie Runner 
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 dormant after maturity like 
the regular Runners, thus being especially suited to 
“hogging off.” 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 much 
like Florida Runner in size, shape, markings and color. 
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 char- 
acters, this variety 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, and may average as high as 20 per cent 
concealed damage. 
Lb. 45c; 6% lbs. (pk.) $1.40; 25 lbs. (bu.) $5.00 
Shelled and treated Dixie Runners. One bushel of good 
Dixie Runners should yield about 16 lbs. shelled pea- 
nuts. Plant 25 lbs. per acre. 
Lb. 65c; 10 lbs. $3.30; 25 lbs. $7.75; 100 Ibs. $30.00 
DWARF ESSEX RAPE 
Sow 4 pounds in drills or 8 to 10 pounds 
broadcast per acre. 
For early spring, fall or winter planting to give quick 
green forage or grazing for hogs and poultry. 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 cover- 
ing 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 1b. 50c; 10 Ibs. $2.30; 25 lbs. $5.25 
100 lbs. $20.00 
RYE 
Sow 3 pecks in drills; broadcast 1 to 11% 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. Earlier planting is recom- 
mended for winter and early spring grazing. Fertiliza- 
tion 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 exceptionally well suited 
for early grazing, making pasturage quickly, and it 
withstands cold very well. Highly recommended by 
the Florida Agricultural Experiment Station. 
1 lb. 50c; 2 lbs. 85c; 14 Ibs. (pk.) $1.40 
56 lbs. (bu.) $5.00 
ABRUZZI (certified). One of the best for Florida, pro- 
ducing a heavier tonnage of green feed and grain than 
most: other varieties. Tall and upright, and a heavy 
yielder. 
14 lbs. (pk.) $1.25 
1 lb. 45c; 2 Ibs. 80c; 
56 lbs. (bu.) $4.50 
Abruzzi Rye 
RICE 
Sow 4 bushel (22 Ibs.) per acre. 
Rice makes fine feed for both stock and poultry. Pre- 
pare the ground thoroughly, drill 4% bushel per acre 
in 214%4-foot rews and cultivate a few times. Should be 
planted in March or April so 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. A popular variety for Florida, generally 
known as Upland Rice, but will also do well on low 
land. Grains heavy, broad, and flat. 
Write for prices. 
PEARL (White). Grown extensively in Florida. It pro- 
duces a heavier, taller, more vigorous stalk with heavier 
heads than other varieties of this type. Does not 
shatter so badly as other varieties. Produces long, 
slender grains. Best adapted for low wet land.
