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 7 to 10 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 
middle of February. For fall crop, plantings are made in 
July, August, and September. 
KILGORE’S BRED-RITE MARGLOBE. (98 days.) By 
field-tests throughout the East Coast, Manatee County, and all 
tomato-growing sections of the State, Kilgore’s Bred-Rite Mar- 
globe has proved to be the best 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.

KILGORE’S EXTRA-SELECTED GLOBE. (92 days.) 
This is one of the earliest Globe strains which has been es¬ 
pecially developed for Florida growing conditions. Its smooth, 
perfectly globe-shaped fruits mature perfectly, 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.

KILGORE’S CROWN-SELECTED GLOBE. (90 days.) 
The seed fruits of this variety 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. After the seed has been dried, it is given special ware¬ 
housing and screening 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, la¬ 
borious 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.

PRITCHARD OR SCARLET TOPPER. (90 days.) The 
Pritchard was developed by crossing Marglobe with Cooper’s 
Special Self-Topper. It combines the good qualities of both 
parent varieties. 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 liberally fertilized moist soil.

Kilgore’s Improved Grothen Red Globe Tomato 
KILGORE’S IMPROVED GROTHEN RED GLOBE. 
(New.) (87 days.) This is a new, very early maturing, high 
yielding variety well adapted to old tomato land. 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, 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 excep¬ 
tionally good shipper. Exceedingly high yields of large fruits, 
of excellent shipping quality are the main factors recommend¬ 
ing this new variety.

KILGORE’S IMPROVED GLOVEL. (New.) (92 days.) 
This new variety of shipping tomato is the result of a cross 
between Globe and Marvel, having the same parentage as 
Marglobe. The vine growth is vigorous and decidedly more 
open than Marglobe, making it easy to spray and to pick the 
fruit. The fruit is of deep globe shape, large, firm, smooth, 
and notably free from growth cracks, and ripens to a pink 
color. Tested at the Homestead, Fla. Experiment Station 
during the last four seasons, Glovel has consistently out- 
yielded other standard commercial varieties and maintains its 
large size in successive pickings. It is highly resistant to 
Fusarium wilt and to nailhead rust. This variety should be 
given a trial by every Florida Tomato Grower.

KILGORE’S BRED-RITE COOPER’S SPECIAL SELF¬

fruits. The plants are hardy and are loaded with fine, solid 
fruits.
