WHAT WILL YOUR HARVEST BE? 
The Answer to That Question 'Depends Principally on the Kind of Seed You Plant 
T HE KILGORE SEED COMPANY has had over 20 years of 
experience in Florida, studying the particular seed require¬ 
ments of Southern growers. The Kilgore seed-growing fields 
are located in the NORTH and WEST, not in Florida. They are 
thoroughly inspected each summer for freedom from disease and 
trueness to type by an experienced member of our organization. 
In this way, we are absolutely certain that our seeds are grown 
under proper conditions and that all off-type plants are destroyed 
before flowering and seeding. 
A seed testing laboratory, to insure proper germination, is 
maintained by THE KILGORE SEED COMPANY at Plant City, 
Fla. A sample of every stock of vegetable, flower and field 
crop seed we sell is tested at frequent intervals in a germinating 
apparatus, and the number of seeds which germinate out of one 
hundred seeds tested is recorded. Any stock of seed which is 
found to be low in germination is discarded. What more could 
be done to provide the proper kind of seed for the Southern 
grower? We know what our seeds will do under Southern con¬ 
ditions because we prove them in Florida. Kilgore’s “Bred-Rite” 
Vegetable, Flower, and Field Crop Seeds are proven seeds and 
are absolutely the best that money can buy. Why plant less 
than the best?
