Culture. Tomatoes will do well on almost all kinds of soil, 
from a light sand to a muck. The land should be put in good 
condition. Lay off rows 4 to 5 feet apart, open a furrow, and 
drill in 1200 pounds per acre of a high-grade fertilizer such as 
a 4-7-5 and mix thoroughly with the soil. It is good policy to let 
this stand for 7 to 10 days, and then plant the seed or set the 
plants. Seed may be planted direct in the field or preferably 
in a cloth-covered seed-bed. Plants started in a seed-bed should 
be 6 to 8 inches high and put in the ground nearly up to the 
bud, 1% to 3 feet apart in the row, or 12 to 18 inches in the 
row if staked. For a fall crop in South Florida and the West 
Indies, plantings are made in July, August, and September. 
KILGORE’S BRED-RITE MARGLOBE. (98 days.) This 
strain has been developed for freedom from cat-faces and large 
blossom-end scars; the ridging at the stem end is practically 
eliminated, and special selections have been made for deeper 
globe-shaped fruits with thick walls and better shipping qual¬ 
ity. The fruits ripen to a beautiful deep scarlet-red color.

KILGORE’S SPECIAL CUBAN MARGLOBE. (95 days.) 
After having made special individual plant selections for a 
number of years we have developed a strain of Marglobe tomato 
seed especially adapted for Cuba and the West Indies. The 
outstanding features of this special Cuban Marglobe are smaller 
vine growth, permitting better means for spraying and dusting, 
and easier harvesting of the fruit; earlier maturity, heavier yield 
of exceedingly deep globe-shaped fruits, with smooth stem ends 
and freedom from cracking.

KILGORE’S CROWN-SELECTED MARGLOBE. (90 days.) 
This large crown-selected seed will not only produce enormous 
yields of perfect-shaped, large, fancy fruits, but will produce 
the major portion of the crop earlier than will other stocks of 
this variety. This seed is the best that most modern scientific 
methods of seed production can possibly develop.

KILGORE’S EXTRA-SELECTED GLOBE. (92 days.) This 
strain has been especially developed for Florida growing con¬ 
ditions. Its smooth, perfectly globe-shaped fruits do not crack, 
and ripen to a beautiful deep pink color. Being a strong, vig¬ 
orous, uniform grower, it is one of the heaviest producers of 
fancy fruit that will bring top prices. Especially well-suited 
for staking.

KILGORE’S CROWN-SELECTED GLOBE. (90 days.) The 
seed plants of this strain are selected with great care as to per¬ 
fect development, taking seed from only the crown fruits from 
a few of the most perfect and most productive plants. This re¬ 
sults in greater vitality, quicker and more uniform germination 
of seed, luxuriant plant-growth, and abundant production of 
fancy fruit of unsurpassed quality.

KILGORE’S IMPROVED GROTHEN RED GLOBE. 
(87 days.) A very early maturing, high yielding variety well 
adapted to old tomato land. The plants are of open growth, with 
rather small foliage, requiring rich, deep moist land for best 
results. Especially well-suited for fall and winter production in 
South Florida. Fruits mature from 10 to 14 days earlier than 
Marglobe, ripening to a beautiful red color. A very heavy pro¬ 
ducer of smooth, deep globe-shaped, large fruits, sizing up good 
clear to the top of the plants and producing a very high per¬ 
centage of fancies.

Kilgore’s Improved Grothen Red Globe Tomato 
IMPROVED RUTGERS. (98 days.) A vigorous growing, 
hardy, very heavy producing variety of red fruited tomato, pro¬ 
ducing large, globe-shaped fruits over a long season. The large

walls of solid meat, making them ideal for long distance ship¬ 
ments. Especially well suited for light sandy soils. Stands more 
rain than other varieties.

vigorous, withstanding wet weather conditions better than any 
other variety. The fruit is smooth and averages larger than 
Marglobe, ripening uniformly to a beautiful deep red. It is very 
heavy and meaty with small seed cavities, which makes it re¬ 
sistant to puffiness and an ideal long distance shipper. An 
exceedingly heavy producer of large, fancy, globe-shaped fruits.
