Kilgore’s Extra-Selected Globe. (?% days.) Our

*»■ ed Globe is one of the strongest and 
BRED-RITE most vigorous growers, and because of 
this great vigor the plant stays green 
and in bearing condition, producing 
TRADE MARK 
marketable fruit after the vines of many other Globe 
types are dried up and dead. This is one of the earliest 
Globe strains. Its smooth, perfectly globe-shaped fruits 
mature perfectly, do not crack, and ripen to a beau¬ 
tiful deep pink color. Being a strong, vigorous, uniform 
grower, it is one of the heaviest producers of high- 
quality fruit that will bring top prices. The largest 
percentage of the crop is fancy fruit, with a very high 
percentage fancy in fourth and fifth pickings. Pkt. 
10c; 34oz. 25c; oz. 40c; 34 lb. $1.25; lb. $4.50. 
For several years I have planted your Kilgore’s Extra-Selected 
Globe Tomato seed, and have had very satisfactory results. I 
was especially well pleased this past spring with the results ob¬ 
tained from your Kilgore’s Extra-Selected Globe, and even in 
view of the bad growing conditions, I produced a fine crop of 
smooth uniform Tomatoes which, in my opinion, ran 80 per cent 
fancies in the packing house. I expect to plant Kilgore’s Extra- 
Selected Globe Tomato seed next season.—T. F. Sheley, Braden¬ 
ton, Fla. 
I consider your Extra-Selected Globe the finest Globe Tomato I 
have ever seen, and I have been growing Tomatoes for 20 years. 
This year I intend to use nothing else but Kilgore’s seeds. I 
strongly advise anyone that wants the best in seeds to investi¬ 
gate the Kilgore Seed Company, for I have always found their 
stocks to be true to type, high germinating, and very prolific.—

Kilgore’s Crown-Selected Globe. ( 9 0 d a y s *) 
--- Crown-select- 
ing is strictly a hand job all the way 
BRED-RITE through. To begin with, the seed stock 
from which the seed is reproduced has 
"“«“*** required years of breeding, selecting, 
and re-selecting to bring it up to the high standard of 
quality. When the fruits are fully ripe—of beautiful 
pink color—our experienced grower himself (not a 
hired man) goes through the field and, with his trained 
eye, first notes the character of plant, and if the plant 
shows vigor and true type of growth, then the next 
consideration is the type of fruit; that is, the shape, 
which must be a perfect smooth globe, and next the 
productiveness of the plant. Where all of these ele¬ 
ments measure up to the standard set for Kilgore’s 
Crown Selected, the seed fruits are picked with great 
care as to perfect shapes and perfect development, 
taking only the crown setting, and, in many cases, only 
one or two Tomatoes from a plant. The selector may 
look over a dozen plants before he finds another hill 
that will measure up. After the seed has been dried, it 
is given special warehousing and screening to make 
sample of uniform, large-sized seeds, which is neces¬ 
sary for a uniform lot of plants in the seed-beds and 
fields. This is a very expensive, tedious, laborious task, 
but it results in greater vitality, quicker and more 
uniform germination of seed, luxuriant plant-growth, 
and abundant production of fancy fruit of unsurpassed 
quality. Pkt. 10c; 34 oz. 40c; oz. 70c; 34 lb. $2.50; 
lb. $9.00. 
Break O’Dav. ( 90 days.) A new early variety 
-— 10 to 12 days earlier than Mar- 
■mirm-i.uk globe that produces heavy crops of 
DDrn.piTC large, smooth, globular, meaty, red 
fruits. The Break O’Day is resistant to 
wilt, nail-head rust, and is also quite 
free from fruit cracking. The plants are rather weak 
and spreading in growth, of open character, with very 
small leaves. Although the fruits are fully exposed to 
the sun, they seldom scald unless the heat is very in¬ 
tense, under which conditions the Marglobe offers 
better protection. Under ordinary conditions Break 
O’Day, though earlier, is not as productive and is much 
less vigorous in growth than Marglobe. Pkt. 10c; 34oz. 
25c; oz. 40c; 341b. $1.25; lb. $4.50. 
Kilgore’s Bred-Rite Cooper’s Special Self- 
Topper. (92 days.) This is the finest strain of Coop- 
-1-- - er’s Special Self-Topper we have ever seen. 
■.dd^a-j.d <*■ It is not only a very heavy producer of 
BRED-RITE extremely early globe-shaped fruits, but 
we have made special selections on this 
trade hark stock to increase the size and the de¬ 
velopment of a very high percentage of fancy fruits. 
The plants are very hardy and are loaded with fine, 
solid, smooth, handsome fruits which ripen to a beau¬ 
tiful pink, of very desirable market type. Pkt. 10c; 
34 oz. 25c; oz. 45c; 34 lb. $1.40; lb. $5.00. 
Kilgore’s Bred - Rite Bryan Self - Topper. 
a(90 days.) This tomato is considered 
BRED-RITE the smoothest, largest, most productive 
and best of all medium early tomatoes. 
-a.. Every vine is loaded with great quan¬ 
tities of large, solid, globe-shaped tomatoes, and is a 
few days earlier than Globe. Plants set fruit very 
heavily in clusters at every joint to the tip end of the 
vines. Bryan Self-Topper fruit is of pink color, smooth, 
and with a very small seed cavity. Pkt. 10c; 34 oz. 30c; 
oz. 55c; 34lb. $1.75; lb. $6.00.
