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 nor¬ 
thern markets, and well adapted to Florida soil and climatic 
conditions. The leaves are large, broad, thick, slightly crumpled, 
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. This 
new, improved variety has completely replaced the old Broad 
Leaved Batavian in commercial production. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; (41b. 40c; 1 lb. $1.25. 
GREEN CURLED. Green Ribbed, Ruffec Strain. (70 days.)

the head which blanches readily to a beautiful creamy white. 
The plant is hardy and vigorous.

GARLIC

divided into so-called sets or cloves, which are planted the same 
as onion sets, in rows 12 to 20 inches apart, and setting the cloves 
3 to 6 inches apart in the row. Garlic is a southern crop and does 
exceptionally well in Florida. The bulbs are used for flavoring 
soups and stews. They should be stored in a dry, airy place 
until used.

WHAT WILL YOUR 
HARVEST BE? 
THE KILGORE SEED COMPANY has had over 25 years of 
experience in Florida, studying the particular seed requirements 
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 flowering and 
seeding. 
A seed testing laboratory, to insure proper germination, is 
maintained by THE KILGORE SEED COMPANY at Plant City, 
Florida. 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 conditions be¬ 
cause we prove them in Florida. Kilgore’s “Bred-Rite” Vege¬ 
table, Flower, and Field Crop Seeds are proven seeds and are the 
best that money can buy.
