Culture. Tomatoes will do well on almost all kinds of soil, 
from a sand-bed to a muck-pond. To start with, the land 
should be put in good condition, and, after thoroughly turning 
it, the addition of one-half to a ton of hardwood ashes, broad¬ 
cast and harrowed in, will give fine returns. Then lay off rows 
4 to 5 feet apart, open a furrow, and drill in 1200 pounds of 
high-grade fertilizer and mix thoroughly with the soil. It is 
good policy to let this stand for three or four days, and then 
you are ready to put in your seed or set the plants. The seed 
should not be covered more than an inch deep. Plants should 
be 6 to 8 inches high and put in the ground nearly up to the 
bud, 1% feet apart in the row, or 12 inches in the row if 
staked. 
Along the East Coast, first plantings are begun during July 
and continued until in December. North and Central Florida 
begin planting the latter part of December and continue to mid¬ 
dle February. For a fall crop, plantings are made in July, 
August, and September. 
Kilgore’s Bred-Rite Marglobe. (? 8 . (i , ay; r) ® y 
■:*■*-*- «-*throughout the East Coast, Manatee 
BRED-RITE County, and all tomato-growing sec- 
tions of the State, Kilgore’s Bred-Rite 
Marglobe has proved to be the best 
TRASK MARK 
and most desirable type for Florida growers. This is 
due, apparently, to several reasons; namely, it is more 
free of navel and large blossom-end scars; the ridging 
at the stem end is practically eliminated, which means 
smoother and more fancy fruit, as this ridging usually 
produces growth-cracks and ill-shaped fruit. The fruits 
ripen to a beautiful deep scarlet-red color. Pkt. 5c;

Kilgore s Crown-Selected Marglobe. (95 
■ days.) 
This large crown-selected seed will not 
BRED-RITE on ^ y produce enormous yields of per- 
M i fect-shaped, large, fancy fruits, but 
TRASK HARK will produce the major portion of thei 
crop earlier than will other stocks of this variety. 
When a crop is grown from Kilgore’s Crown-Selected 
Marglobe seed there can be no question about the re¬ 
sult, as this seed certainly is the best that most modern 
scientific methods of seed production can possibly 
develop. If there is ever a better Marglobe made, Kil¬ 
gore will make it. Pkt. 5c; % oz. 40c; oz. 70c; lb. 
$2.50; lb. $9.00. 
Kilgore’s Extra-Selected Globe. ( 9 2 days.) 
- _ - - This is one of 
the earliest Globe strains which has 
BRED-RITE been especially developed for Florida 
growing conditions. Its smooth, per- 
«... «a»« fectly globe-shaped fruits mature per¬ 
fectly, do not crack, and ripen to a beautiful 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. Pkt. 5c; ^ oz. 25c; oz. 40c; 
U lb. $1.25; lb. $4.50.

**» fruits of this variety are picked with 
BRED-RITE great care as to perfect shapes and 
■QXEQi perfect development, taking only the 
crown setting, and, in many cases, only 
one or two tomatoes from a plant. After the seed has 
been dried, it is given special warehousing and screen¬ 
ing to make sample of uniform, large-sized seeds, 
which is necessary 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. 5c; 14 oz. 40c; oz. 70c;

Kilgore’s Improved Grothen Red Globe Tomato 
Kilgore’s Improved Grothen Red Globe. 
(New.) (87 days.) This is a new, very 
BRED-RITE early maturing, high yielding variety 
well adapted to old tomato land. 
“" K The plants are of open growth, with 
rather small foliage requiring rich, deep, moist land 
for best results, maturing fruits from 10 to 14 days 
earlier than Marglobe, and ripening to a beautiful red 
color. A very heavy producer of smooth, globe-shaped, 
large fruits, sizing up good clear to the top of the 
plants, producing a very high percentage of fancies. 
The fruits are firm and solid and the interior ripens 
up slowly, making this variety an exceptionally good 
shipper. Exceedingly high yields of large fruits, of 
excellent shipping quality are the main factors rec¬ 
ommending this new variety. Pkt. 5c; oz. 30c; oz. 
55c; U lb. $1.75; lb. $6.00. 
Pritchard or Scarlet Topper. (^ e w.) (90 days.) 
-—- The Pritchard 
BRED-RITE 
TRAOK MARK 
was 
developed by crossing Marglobe with 
Cooper’s Special Self Topper. It com¬ 
bines the good qualities of both parent 
varieties. Vines medium dense, com¬ 
pact, 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 liberally fertilized moist 
soil. Pkt. 5c; 14 oz. 25c; oz. 45c; lb. $1.40; lb. 
$5.00.
