WHAT WILL YOUR HARVEST BE? 
The Answer to That Question Depends Principally on the Kind of Seed You Plant 
T HE KILGORE SEED COMPANY has had over 25 years of 
experience in Florida, studying the particular seed require¬ 
ments of Southern growers. The Kilgore seed-growing fields 
are located in the NORTH and WEST, not in Florida. They are 
thoroughly inspected each summer for freedom from disease and 
trueness to type by an experienced member of our organization. 
In this way, we are certain that our seeds are grown under proper 
conditions and that all off-type plants are destroyed before flow¬ 
ering and seeding. 
A seed testing laboratory, to insure proper germination, is main¬ 
tained by THE KILGORE SEED COMPANY at Plant City, Fla. 
A sample of every stock of vegetable, flower and field crop 
seed we sell is tested at frequent intervals in a germinating 
apparatus, and the number of seeds which germinate out of one 
hundred seeds tested is recorded. Any stock of seed which is 
found to be low in germination is discarded. What more could 
be done to provide the proper kind of seed for the Southern 
grower? We know what our seeds will do under Southern con¬ 
ditions because we prove them in Florida. Kilgore’s "Bred-Rite” 
Vegetable, Flower, and Field Crop Seeds are proven seeds and 
are the best that money can buy.
