Kilgore’s Bred-Rite 
Extra-Selected Globe 
Kilgore’s Extra-Selected Globe. < 92 da ^, s - 1 ) 0u F 
- Extra-Selected 
3C1 Globe is one of the strongest and 
BRED-RITE most vigorous growers, and because of 
this great vigor the plant stays green 
.a.« an d i n bearing condition, producing 
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.

Kilgore’s Crown-Selected Globe, ( 90 da y s ) 
_ — _ The seed 
stock from which this seed is repro- 
BRED'RITE duced has required many years of 
careful breeding, selecting, and rese- 
TRADE MARK lecting to bring it up to the high stand¬ 
ard of quality it now possesses. When the fruits are 
fully ripe in our seed growing fields our plant breeder 
goes through the field, and with his trained eye, first 
notes the character of the plant, and if the plant 
shows vigor, productiveness, and true type of growth, 
the fruit is then considered with reference to size and 
shape. All the fruit on the selected plant must be 
of large size and of perfect smooth globe shape. Where 
all of these elements measure up to the high standard 
set for Kilgore’s Crown Selected, the seed fruits are 
picked, taking only the crown set. After the seed 
has been dried it is given special warehousing and 
screening in order to secure all uniform, large size 
seed, which is necessary to secure a uniform lot of 
plants in the seed beds and fields. This is a very 
expensive, tedious and laborious task, but it results 
in greater vitality, quicker and more uniform germina¬ 
tion of seed, more luxuriant plant growth, an abund¬ 
ant production of fancy fruit. Pkt. 5c; }4oz. 40c; oz.

Kilgore’s Bred-Rite Cooper’s Special Self- 
Topper. (92 days.) This is the finest strain of 
- - Cooper’s Special Self-Topper. It is not on- 
iimun i y a very heavy producer of early 
BRED-RITE globe-shaped fruits, but we have made 
special selections on this stock to in- 
t«».. «**« crease the size and the development 
of a very high percentage of fancy fruits. This va¬ 
riety is best adapted to low moist land, and requires 
heavy fertilizer applications to make large size fancy 
fruit. The plants are very hardy and are loaded with 
fine, solid, smooth, handsome fruits which ripen to a 
beautiful pink, of very desirable market type. Pkt. 5c; 
lioz. 25c; oz. 45c; }4lb. $1.40; lb. $5.00. 
Kilgore’s Bred - Rite Bryan Self - Topper. 
■:«■ *n-i.» (90 days.) This tomato is the smooth- 
BRED-RITE es *> largest, most productive and best 
of all medium early self topping to- 
matoes. Every vine is loaded with 
great quantities of large, solid, globe shaped tomatoes. 
Low, rich, moist soils are best adapted for this variety 
to produce good size, fancy fruits, and heavy fertiliza¬ 
tion is recommended for best results. Plants set fruit 
very heavily in clusers at every joint to the tip end of 
the vine. Bryan Self Topper fruit is a pink color, 
smooth, and with a very small seed cavity. Pkt. 5c;

Pritchard or Scarlet Topper. ^. ew '•) < 90 da y s ) 
-*-This new variety 
was originated by the late Dr. F. J. 
BRED-RITE Pritchard, of the U. S. Department of 
Agriculture. The Pritchard was de- 
TRADE MARK veloped by crossing Marglobe with 
Cooper’s Special Self-Topper. It combines the good 
qualities of both parent varieties. Dr. Pritchard de¬ 
scribed this new variety for us as follows: “Vines 
medium dense, compact, erect, self-topping. Fruits 
mature very early, a week to ten days earlier than 
Marglobe, are large, smooth, meaty, globular in shape 
and ripen uniformly to a very deep, attractive, red 
color, both exterior and interior. This variety is an 
enormous producer and therefore requires rich or lib¬ 
erally fertilized moist soil.” 
As a result of trials in our proving grounds at Plant 
City, Florida, we find the outstanding feature of this 
new variety to be its extreme earliness and enormous 
productiveness of large, smooth, solid, fancy globe- 
shaped fruits, which ripen to the stem end with a 
beautiful deep red color, creating a good demand on 
the markets. We advise all our friends to give this new 
variety a fair trial this season. Pkt. 5c; }&oz. 25c; 
oz. 45c; M lb. $1.40; lb. $5.00.
