Peppers Are One of the Best Paying Florida Truck Crops and Produce Over a Long S.eason 
Kilgore’s Improved Ruby Giant Peppers grown by Mr. G. D. Wyse at Pompano, Florida 
KILGORE’S NEW SUPER IMPROVED COLOSSAL. 
(110 days.) After several years of very expensive, special 
breeding and selection work, we have developed a strain of 
the Colossal variety far superior to anything ever offered Florida 
pepper growers. This new Super Improved Strain was thor¬ 
oughly tested in the Pompano, Florida, section last season, 
where it attracted a great deal of attention. The plant is very 
heavy, strong and vigorous, with exceedingly large heavy leaves 
which protect the fruits from sun scalding. The plants produce 
an immense yield of exceedingly large, uniformly thick-fleshed, 
four-lobed fruits, about five inches long and four and one-half 
inches wide. It takes very few of these large fruits to fill a 
one and one-half bushel crate. Unlike other strains of large 
fruited peppers, this improved strain continues to produce large 
fruits over a very long period, making a heavy top set at the 
same time it matures a large crop of early fruits. Pepper grow¬ 
ers who want enormous yields of exceedingly large size fruits 
throughout the season should by all means plant some of this 
new Super Improved strain. 
Seed supply very limited. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 45c; Mlb. fl.40; 1 lb. $5.00. 
EARLY CALWONDER. (New) (115 days.) A new early 
maturing strain of California Wonder, maturing ten days to two 
weeks ahead of other stocks of this variety, and according to 
our Florida tests this new strain holds up and produces large 
size fruits over a long season. The plant is not as tall and erect 
in growth as regular California Wonder, but is more dwarf and 
spreading, although very vigorous and prolific. The fruits are 
three and four lobed and very attractive in appearance, being 
smooth, dark green in color, uniform and very thick meated. 
This new extra early strain should be planted by every grower 
interested in a thick meated type of pepper. 
Seed supply very limited. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 45c; Ulb. $1.40; 1 lb. $5.00. 
KILGORE’S IMPROVED RURY GIANT. (115 days.) The 
plant grows upright and is of very vigorous growth, it being 
somewhat more disease resistant and withstanding poor growing 
conditions better than most varieties of this type. The fruits are 
similar to World Beater in shape, being large, four lobed, and 
very attractive in appearance. The thick flesh is exceedingly 
sweet, mild, and of excellent quality. Our strain of this variety 
is extremely productive and bears over a long period. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 40c; Mlb. $1.15; 1 lb. $4.00. 
IMPROVED CALIFORNIA WONDER. (125 days.) An 
outstanding, medium late variety, gaining in importance. Plant 
is vigorous, upright, prolific. The thick meated, large, heavy 
fruits average about four inches in length and about the same 
in diameter. We have improved this variety by making our 
strain more productive and longer bearing than most others. 
This is an excellent shipping type, holding up well in transit 
and on the market, and is in great demand for hauling by trucks 
because of its good bearing qualities. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 40c; /41b. $1.25; 1 lb. $4.50. 
COLOSSAL. (110 days.) The plant is upright in growth, very 
hardy and produces a heavy crop of large fruits over a long 
period. The fruits are very large, four to four and one-half 
inches long and three and one-half to four inches wide. Thick 
flesh, sweet, three to four lobed, and average slightly longer 
than World Beater. This is one of the most satisfactory main 
crop peppers, and we recommend it to Florida growers. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 30c; ^41b. 85c; 1 lb. $3.00. 
ANAHEIM CHILI (Hot). (120 days.) A popular, hot, pun¬ 
gent variety. The fruits are very meaty, measuring 6 to 7 inches 
in length and 1 to IV 2 inches in diameter at stem end, and are 
green, ripening to a bright red. Often dried for winter use. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 45c; Ulb. $1.40; 1 lb. $5.00.
