LETTUCE 
Sow Yi t° 7 pound of seed in seed-bed to plant an acre 
Culture. First sowings are made in Florida the beginning of September and continue until March. Low, damp, light or dark soil 
is best suited for this crop. Lettuce must be grown rapidly in order to give it size, tenderness, crispness, and high edible quality. 
Therefore, the land must be highly fertilized and moist. Broadcast the seed on good moist beds that have been thoroughly prepared, 
or sow in rows 6 inches apart and use a light roller to press the seed into the soil. Place burlap or old fertilizer sacks over the beds 
until the seeds sprout. Be sure seed-beds are kept thoroughly moist at all times after the seed is planted, and during the hot 
summer months the beds should be sprinkled with cool water in order to hasten and increase germination.

Kilgore’s Bred - Rite New York No. 12. 
■■ W-1T4IM (New.) (70 days.) A new strain of the 
BRED-RITE ^ ce ^ er s type. New York No. 12 has 
been especially developed to withstand 
TRADK MARK the heat and high humidity common to 
Florida and the southeastern states. Our tests indi¬ 
cate that this strain can be grown in Florida to produce 
large, very solid, crisp heads similar to the Iceberg type 
as grown in the West. Among other advantages, it is 
much less susceptible to loss by tip-burn. For these 
reasons, growers can plant New York No. 12 in almost 
any locality, either early in the spring or in the late 
summer or fall. The color is a trifle lighter than oth¬ 
er strains of New York. This variety is growing in 
demand on the northern markets and is especially 
adapted to Florida growing conditions. Pkt. 5c; oz. 
15c; 34 lb. 45c; lb. $1.50.
