CABBAGE (Continued) 
SAVOY CABBAGE, AMERICAN DRUMHEAD (100 days.) 
Savoy Cabbage is commonly called “Curly-leaved” or “Curly” 
Cabbage. It has a distinct flavor which is favored by many 
people. The plant is of large growth. The leaves are finely 
wrinkled or savoyed and curled. The heads are medium in size, 
slightly flattened, and solid. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; Mlb. 60c; 1 lb. $2.00. 
KILGORE’S IMPROVED RED DANISH. (New) 
(115 days.) This Improved strain of Red Danish is the most 
highly bred, heavy yielding, and uniform strain yet developed. 
The plants are vigorous, but compact growth, every plant pro¬ 
ducing a hard, heavy head, with excellent dark red color through¬ 
out, free from bursting, and an ideal type for shipment. No 
more uniform, true to type, heavy yielding variety of red cab¬ 
bage can be secured anywhere. Available November 1. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; ^4Ib. 75c; 1 lb. $2.50. 
KILGORE’S BRED-RITE RED ROCK. (110 days.) Plants 
compact, not spreading. Heads of small to medium size, very 
hard, globular in shape, exceedingly attractive in appearance, 
being of deep purple color throughout. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; Mlb. 60c; 1 lb. $2.00. 
CHINESE CABBAGE 
Plant 1 pound per acre. 
Culture. This is distinctly a cool-weather plant and should 
not be planted for a spring or summer crop, because it quickly 
bolts to seed in hot weather. It should be planted only for a late 
fall and winter crop. Seeds should be planted in rows where the 
crop is to mature, thinning out as the plants develop to stand 
twelve to fifteen inches in the row. Chinese Cabbage may be 
used in any salad and for plate decoration. It may also be boiled 
like ordinary Cabbage. It is a very tender, healthful vegetable, 
and very digestible. 
KILGORE’S IMPROVED PEKIN CELERY CABBAGE. 
(85 days.) This strain of Chinese Cabbage surpasses all other 
varieties of Chinese Cabbage. It is sure heading, maturing into 
long, slender, very firm, well blanched, crisp, tender and sweet 
heads, readily salable in any market. The heads become 18 
to 20 inches tall, SVz to 4 inches thick, tapered near the tip. 
Hardy and of easy culture, planted direct in the field. Does 
best as a fall and winter crop. In warm weather in spring it 
tends to bolt to seed before heading properly. A good shipper 
and an excellent keeper.

Kilgore’s New Super Snotcball Cauliflower 
No crop is affected more in its behavior by weather and soil 
conditions than is cauliflower. Because of the frequent spells 
of hot weather and high humidity during the winter months in 
Florida which conditions are not conducive for good cauliflower 
production, it has been difficult to consistently produce this 
crop to perfection with ordinary varieties and strains of cauli¬ 
flower seed. We have been working for several years in an en¬ 
deavor to secure strains of cauliflower which will do well under 
Florida climatic and soil conditions. As a result of numerous 
tests and trial plantings, we have found and are now offering 
strains which are particularly well suited to the high tempera¬ 
ture and humidity conditions prevalent in Florida. 
Culture. Cauliflower needs a very rich soil and plenty of 
moisture. All of our cauliflower seed is imported from Den¬ 
mark. We recommend starting plants in seed beds where they 
can be given proper care' and attention. Conditions should be 
provided for the continuous rapid growth of cauliflower seed¬ 
lings and plants. A cauliflower plant which has once been 
checked or stunted in growth will never produce a large, well- 
formed head. Plant from September to January and cultivate 
the same as cabbage. Just as soon as the head develops to the 
size of a walnut, it is very important to draw the outer leaves 
over the head and tie with soft cord to produce attractive, pure 
white, solid heads. 
KILGORE’S NEW SUPER SNOWBALL. (105 days.) This 
new strain is slower in growth and later in maturing than other 
strains of Snowball. However, it withstands the hot humid 
climatic conditions prevalent in Florida better than other strains. 
The plants are upright, strong, vigorous, with many large, heavy 
leaves, and a short stout stem. The heads are deep, large, very 
heavy, snow white in color, and exceedingly uniform; under 
proper growing conditions producing over 90% grade one heads. 
Highly recommended as a late winter crop in Florida.

1 lb. $25.00. 
KILGORE’S NEW EXTRA EARLY NO. 27. (95 days.) For 
a fall and early winter crop, our numerous trials indicate this 
new type to be the best for Florida conditions. The plant is 
dwarf and compact, not as large and vigorous as our new Super 
Snowball, but the plants mature heads considerably earlier, 
and make large, broad, heavy, pure white heads, with a beauti¬ 
ful tight curd that has no protruding leaves. It is a uniform, 
sure header, every plant in the field maturing a head at about 
the same time, and because of this uniform maturity and its 
earliness, the crop may be cleared off the land very early and 
quickly for some other succeeding spring crop to follow. The 
plants are very resistant to climatic and moisture extremes. For 
earliness no other variety compares with our new Number 27.

1 Ib. $20.00. 
KILGORE’S EARLY HENDERSON’S SNOWBALL. 
(90 days.) This is the regular low heading type of Snowball, 
which under good growing conditions is a dependable header, 
starting to head early and uniformly. Heads are medium large, 
compact, solid, pure white and of good quality.
