Eggplant, Unlike Many Other Crops, Has a Long Productive Period in the South 
EGGPLANT 
Sow 14 to % pound in seed-bed to plant an acre 
Culture. For the fall crop, plant in June, July, and Au¬ 
gust, in muslin or burlap-covered seed-beds. When set in the 
open, the plants may need some protection from the sun. 
Many growers use palmetto fans, stuck slanting on the south 
side of the hill, which will keep the sun from striking the 
newly set out plants with full force. Have rows 5 feet apart 
and 3 feet between the plants. Use not less than a ton of high- 
grade fertilizer per acre. It is an excellent plan to spray with 
Pyrox every 10 days from the time the plants have four or five 
leaves, as there is no plant more subject to blight and insect 
attack. Pyrox controls fungous diseases and also kills worms. 
It is also advisable to dust eggplants regularly with sulphur or, 
better, to spray with Sulfocide, which controls red spider, a 
serious pest of eggplant. It is always desirable to treat egg¬ 
plant seed with Semesan or some other good disinfectant 
before planting.

KILGORE'S BRED-RITE FT. MYERS MARKET. (120 
days.) We have found this variety to be superior to all others 
in the fact that it produces immense yields of large sized fancy 
fruits over a long period. The fruits hold their large size and 
intense black color clear up to the top of the plants, thus pro¬ 
ducing a very large percentage of fancies. The plants are very 
resistant to blight and other diseases. The plants are of the 
high-bush type, producing a very tall, vigorous growth, bear¬ 
ing the fruit well off the ground. The fruits are long, cyl¬ 
indrical in shape, never producing a necky stem end, and they 
possess an intense deep black color so much in demand among 
buyers and in the markets. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 40c; J41b. $1.25; 1 lb. $4.50. 
KILGORE’S BRED-RITE MANATEE SPECIAL. (115 
days.) The plants of this variety are of high-bush character, be¬ 
ing taller and more vigorous than Black Beauty and other low- 
bush sorts, although not quite so tall as the true Florida High- 
Bush. The fruits, on the other hand, are shorter and thicker 
than Florida High-Bush, oval in shape, and of a beautiful 
rich black color. The sturdy, vigorous bush holds the fruits 
well off the ground, thus preventing rot. Extremely early, 
hardy, and very productive.

Kilgore’s Improved Florida Deep Heart Escarolle 
ESCAROLLE — KILGORE’S IMPROVED FLORIDA 
DEEP HEART. (70 days.) One of the very best and most 
profitable types to grow commercially. In great demand on 
northern markets, and well adapted to Florida soil and climatic 
conditions. The leaves are large, broad, thick, slightly crum¬ 
pled, of medium green color, with thick, nearly white midribs. 
Our improved stock of this variety is of the full-heart type, 
developing an upright growth, producing a very heavy, thick, 
matted plant with large, deep, well-blanched hearts, which 
blanch to a creamy white. Our tests indicate this stock to be 
hardier than other full-heart strains, and to stand long-distance 
shipment better. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; Mlb. 40c; 1 lb. $1.25. 
ESCAROLLE—BROAD LEAVED BATAVIAN. (75 days). 
This is a very good type of Endive. The plants are large and 
compact, developing a nicely blanched heart. Although the 
growth is not upright as with our “Deep Heart” strain it is 
better than most strains of this type on the market. Very 
hardy and a heavy yielding type.
