You Eliminate a Large Part of the Risk of Crop Failure When You Plant Kilgore’s Seed Potatoes 
KILGORE’S SEED POTATOES 
Plant 600 pounds per acre in three to four foot rows. 
Kilgore’s State Certified Red Bliss or Triumph Seed Potatoes 
State certification is a system of official inspection which 
guarantees the grading of potato seed stock. This insures plant¬ 
ing seed potatoes having a high degree of freedom from disease, 
and that are true to name, free from varietal mixture, and are 
produced by vigorous, healthy plants possessing high yielding 
qualities. It further means that the seed potatoes must be 
graded for size and freedom from mechanical injuries. State 
Certified seed costs a little more, but growers have found from 
experience that it pays well to use only State Certified in pre¬ 
ference to ordinary seed potatoes of doubtful source, history 
and quality. 
Culture. The fall and early spring crop should be planted 
from September 1 to March 1; the bulk of the spring crop in 
south and central Florida between January 1st and February 
15th; the more northern part of the state planting heavy a little 
later. Plant in rows three to four feet apart, dropping a seed 
piece every twelve to fifteen inches in the row. If weather is 
cool, plant seed four inches deep; if warm, six inches deep. In 
cutting the seed leave two or three good eyes to each seed 
piece. Using a large seed piece will insure a stronger plant. 
For early fall planting in Florida during September, it is de¬ 
sirable to use small potatoes and plant whole in order to secure 
a satisfactory stand. Fertilizer should be put in seven to eight 
days before planting. Use from 1,000 to 2,000 lbs. per acre, de¬ 
pending on type of soil. A 4-7-5 fertilizer mixture is a good 
standard for potatoes.
