Kilgore’s Old Golden Heart Self- 
RlanchinP' (Old Dwarf Type.) Genuine French 
-grown Seed. (125 days.) This 
« ■ variety is a little slower in growth 
BRED-RITE and requires longer to blanch 
than most American-grown stocks, 
™*** „«« but it jg extremely hardy and 
blight-resistant, standing more cold than any 
other stock we have ever tested. It never hollow- 
stems, and produces a more upright, compact 
growth than American-grown stocks, with long 
ribs and an exceptionally large, rich golden heart. 
It has been especially developed and selected for 
the elimination of green heart. It is an excep¬ 
tionally heavy yielder of large size stalks, with 
broad, heavy butts, and is of the highest edible 
and market quality. Desirable for a late fall 
crop in the North and as a mid-winter crop in 
Florida, but not suitable as a spring crop in the 
South. Pkt. 5c; ^ 02 , 60c; oz. $1.00; lb. $3.25; 
lb. $12.00. 
Kilgore’s Wonderful Pearl Special. < 110 days -) 
- This highly 
■«»:■ selected stock is very early, blanches 
BRED-R ITE quickly, and has been selected for large, 
full heart formation with very broad, 
thick, long ribs. Does not bolt to seed 
readily. The plants range from twenty to twenty- 
three inches over all. This is one of the best varieties 
of winter and early spring Celery of the Special or 
Golden Plume type for Florida, and one of the best 
early varieties for the North where large sizes of 
medium height are desired. Our stock is more resis¬ 
tant to hollow-stem, early seeding, and resists Celery 
diseases better than most stocks of the Special or 
Golden Plume type. It is an exceptionally heavy 
yielder of large sizes and one of the finest long¬ 
distance shippers. Pkt. 5c; ^oz. 60c; oz. $1.00; 
Mlb. $3.25; lb. $12.00. 
Schneck’s Improved Florida Golden No. 15. 
mi (H5 days.) After many years of 
BRED-RITE breeding, selecting, and testing by our 
breeding department, we introduced 
this improved variety. It is intermediate between the 
Old Golden and Special or Golden Plume types, pos¬ 
sessing the desirable characteristics of both types. It 
is recommended especially for a Florida mid-winter 
crop because it withstands cold weather better than 
most varieties of the Special or Golden Plume type. 
Our Improved stock has been selected for uniformly 
long, thick, round ribs, large full hearts of rich golden 
yellow color, and for heavy yields of good sizes. The 
ribs average eight to ten inches to the first joint, are 
not thin and flat, but are rounded and exceptionally 
thick. The plants range from 22 to 25 inches over 
all, making a most attractive pack. This is one of 
the best varieties for a general mid-winter crop in 
Florida or for a late fall crop in the North. Pkt. 5c; 
!4oz. $1.00; oz. $1.50; U lb. $4.00; lb. $15.00. 
Kilgore’s Pride ( 105 days-) The Kilgore Seed 
- Company has spent a great deal of 
time, effort and expense in developing this stock of 
the Special or Golden Plume type of celery. It is very 
early in maturity, produces a vigorous growth, with 
broad, thick ribs, eight to ten inches to the first joint, 
ranging from 22 to 25 inches over all, making a very 
attractive pack. Unlike other strains of the Golden 
Plume or Wonderful type, Kilgore’s Pride bleaches a 
little slower and does not go soft as quickly. It de- 
velopes a good heavy heart, and is an exceedingly 
heavy yielder of good sizes, with large heavy butts. 
This is a good medium early variety for the North, and 
an excellent early winter and spring celery for Florida. 
One of the finest varieties of celery ever developed 
for Florida as well as northern celery growers. Has 
been developed and selected for resistance to prema¬ 
ture seed stalk development. Pkt. 5c; >4oz. $1.00; 
oz. $1.50; Mlb. $4.00; lb. $15.00.
