“Prompt Service , Is a Kilgore Motto Which Has Been in Practice for Over Twenty-five Years 
Important Directions to Customers 
By carefully observing the following directions, mistakes, and misunderstandings will be very largely avoided. 
How to Order 
Please be careful to sign your name, box number, street or 
rural route, post office and State on every order. Be sure to 
tell us your nearest express or freight office should you desire 
the seed forwarded by express or freight. Please write plainly. 
Cash With Order 
Ours is a cash business and our prices are made on that 
basis. Customers are requested to remit when ordering and by 
so doing save the C.O.D. fee charged by express companies, 
banks, and postal authorities for collecting and returning money. 
C. O. D. 
Perishable items such as strawberry plants, rose bushes, nurs¬ 
ery stock, etc., are not sent C.O.D. under any circumstances. 
How to Send Money 
Remittances should be made by post-office money orders, 
express money orders, drafts or checks. 
Remittance by Stamps 
On orders for seeds where the amount is less than BO cents, 
we will accept stamps in good condition the same as cash, but 
we would ask those remitting stamps to wrap them in oiled pa¬ 
per, if possible, to prevent their sticking together or to the order. 
Export Shipments to Cuba, the West Indies, and 
Foreign Countries 
For the convenience of our customers in the West Indies we 
have established the following agencies: Mr. M. J. Diaz y Cia, 
Muralla 76, Havana, Cuba: Mr. A. C. Kopf, Neuva Gerona, Isle 
of Pines; Mr. F. C. Albury, Nassau, Bahama; and Mendez y 
Cia, San Juan, Puerto Rico. These agents carry a full line of 
Kilgore’s seeds during the season, which are sold at our regu¬ 
lar catalog prices. 
Direct shipments from Plant City to the West Indies and 
foreign countries are not prepaid. See “Postal Information.” 
Seeds Postpaid by Parcel Post 
Please bear in mind that the prices given in this Catalog 
include delivery on all seeds to any point in Florida or the 
South. 
All Deliveries Outside the United States are made

Prices Subject to Change 
This Catalog is printed in October and November. The market 
on many items of garden and field seeds, as well as supplies, 
has not yet been fully established. Consequently, prices on 
these items indicate value at time these pages are printed. In 
practically all cases orders will be filled at prices indicated in 
this Catalog, but all prices are subject to change without notice. 
No-Warranty 
We give no warranty, express or implied, as to description, 
quality, productiveness, or any other matter of any seeds or 
bulbs we sell, and we will not be responsible for the crop. 
No reputable seedsman gives any warranty. We test our 
seeds for germination and trueness to type before we send 
them to our customers. We have the fullest confidence in the 
quality of all the seeds we sell but we have no control over 
them after they leave our hands. Satisfactory germination and 
production are dependent upon many factors other than the 
quality of the seed, such as methods of planting, cultivating, and 
fertilizing. If we should warrant or guarantee seeds in any 
way, we could be held responsible for the failure of the crop, 
regardless of cause; a responsibility we cannot accept. 
No Seeds Returned 
For your protection we will not permit seeds to be returned, 
unless mistake was made in filling order. No customer would 
want to plant seeds that had been returned, nor would we feel 
safe in filling an order with returned seed. This is one rea¬ 
son we have never followed the policy of putting out our seeds 
with dealers. Our seeds are never out of our hands until they 
are sold to you direct through our mail-order department or 
through one of our own stores or agencies. 
Postal Information 
PARCEL-POST RATES WITHIN THE UNITED STATES 
New postal rates went into effect on October 1, 1932. The 
weight limit for all zones is 70 pounds. 
From the Fourth to the Eighth Zone, shipments weighing 10 
pounds or more usually go as cheaply by express. Any weight 
up to 40 pounds in the first and second zones and 22 pounds in 
the third zone will usually go just as cheaply by parcel post as 
by freight or express. 
In many sections of Florida that are not easily accessible by 
freight or express, parcel-post service will be found not only far 
more satisfactory, but more economical. If you are on a rural 
route, delivery will be made to your door by mail. 
Most Florida points are in the First or Second Zone; however, 
Jacksonville north. Live Oak north and west, and points on the 
East Coast south of Delray are in the Third Zone. 
First and second zone, first pound 8c, 2 pounds 10c, each ad¬ 
ditional pound over 2 pounds add lc per pound.

age rate at 1 % cts. for each 2 ounces or fraction of 2 ounces.

Parcel Post Shipments weighing over eight ounces must have 
a consular invoice, the minimum charge being 75 cents plus 
5% ad valorem in addition to postage. 
Poisons cannot be sent by mail. 
When you order your seeds to come by express or freight we can send them collect, so you may pay the transportation 
charges on delivery. When ordering your seeds to be shipped by express cr freight, always give your express or freight station, 
if it is not the same as your post-office. If your order is to ba sent parcel-post, the postage must be paid in advance if the 
items ordered are not indicated as "postpaid” in this catalog, and you must send us the amount of postage in addition to the cost 
of the seeds. Do not have your order delayed or reduced by failing to add necessary postage. It will be found plainly stated 
above each item whether or not it is postpaid.
