Our Field Corn List Includes Only Those Varieties Best Suited to Florida and the South 
FIELD CORN 
Plant 7 pounds per acre. 
For Roasting Ear and Sweet Corn, See Pages 14 and 15 
Kilgore’s field corns have been bred for high¬ 
est yield, purity, freedom from disease and 
strength of stalk, under our personal supervision. 
We inspect each field of seed corn to see that it 
is isolated from other varieties. The ears are in¬ 
spected for trueness to type and are cured under 
the most approved methods, insuring high ger¬ 
mination. The cost of a few cents an acre more 
for our Bred-Rite strains of field corn seed will 
pay you back in dollars at harvest time. 
Kilgore’s field corn seed is grown in isolated 
fields from the highest yielding pedigreed strains. 
The most perfect ears are selected, carefully 
dried and run over a long conveyor table, where 
expert corn pickers throw out every ear that is 
unsound, diseased or off-type. Only large ears 
with deep grain, straight rows and good tip and 
butt are saved. Each ear is hand tipped and 
butted, shelled and carefully graded to remove 
cracked or oversized grains. 
Corn is a very economical crop to grow. It fits splendidly as a 
follow crop, sufficient fertilizer being left from previous vege¬ 
table crops to produce a good Corn crop. When the Corn is 
being laid by, sow cowpeas, beggarweed, soy beans, velvet 
beans, etc., between the rows, which may be plowed under after 
the corn is harvested thus greatly improving the soil for suc¬ 
ceeding vegetable crops. 
Treat Corn with Pyrox and keep the birds away. Pyrox also 
aids germination and facilitates securing a better stand. (See 
page 55.) 
KILGORE’S IMPROVED FLORIDA FLINT. (82 days.) 
This new introduction was originated and developed in Union 
County, in North Florida, and in numerous trials it has shown 
great promise as a general purpose com. It is an excellent keep¬ 
er, being as near weevil-proof as it is possible to get any white 
corn. The small white cob is covered with long, deep, white, 
flinty grains. It is a heavy yielder and the husk grows well down 
over the end of the ear, which furnishes protection against 
weevils, worms and birds. This variety is very highly recom¬ 
mended as one of the best, medium-sized ear, white corns for 
general farm planting in Florida. 
Mlb. 10c; 1 lb. 20c; 2 lbs. 30c; postpaid. 
Not prepaid, 14 lbs. (pk.) 95c; 56 lbs. (bu.) $3.25. 
CURAN OR HAVANA YELLOW FLINT. (96 days.) This 
Corn will grow under all kinds of adverse weather conditions. 
Small ears, small grain, and one of the hardiest of all flint 
Corns. It withstands weevils better than any other variety. 
14 lb. 10c; 1 lb. 20c; 2 lbs. 30c; postpaid. 
Not prepaid, 14 lbs. (pk.) 85c; 56 lbs. (bu.) $3.00. 
KILGORE’S RED COB PROLIFIC. (95 days.) Very early, 
a heavy yielder, producing large, heavy ears. It makes first-class 
“roasting-ears” of fine market appearance. Ears large and heavy, 
small red cob, deep grain, with the husk coming well over the 
end, affording great protection from weather, weevils, and birds. 
The grain is rather bard and flinty, and will keep much better 
than most sorts. It is one of the best feeding corns, and provides 
both quality and quantity. 
(41b. 10c; 1 lb. 20c; 2 lbs. 30c; i)ostpaid. 
Not prepaid, 14 lbs. (pk.) 85c; 56 lbs. (bu.) $3.00. 
WHATLEY’S PROLIFIC. (98 days.) An early, very pro¬ 
lific, red cob corn. Especially well suited to Florida with the 
husk tightly covering the tip of the ears making it resistant to 
worm damage and damage from wet weather and from the at¬ 
tacks of birds. 
(41b. 10c; 1 lb. 20c; 2 lbs. 30c; postpaid. 
Not prepaid, 14 lbs. (pk.) 85c; 56 lbs. (bu.) $3.00. 
HASTING’S PROLIFIC. (100 days.) This variety is of vig¬ 
orous growth, rather late in maturity, but an immense yielder. 
Ears are medium size, usually two per stalk. Cob is small, cov¬ 
ered with deep, white, hard kernels. Good for grain and for 
roasting ears. 
(41b. 10c; 1 lb. 20c; 2 lbs. 30c; postpaid. 
Not prepaid, 14 lbs. (pk.) 85c; 56 lbs. (bu.) $3.00. 
IMPROVED GOLDEN DENT. (86 days.) A wonderful 
yielder, and does splendidly here in Florida. It is planted exten¬ 
sively for early use, but is too soft for a general crop. Has large, 
deep, broad grains, and is desirable where early feed is wanted. 
(41b. 10c; 1 lb. 20c; 2 lbs. 30c; postpaid. 
Not prepaid, 14 lbs. (pk.) 85c; 56 lbs. (bu.) $3.00. 
HICKORY KING. (91 days.) A very desirable, early, heavy- 
yielding white Corn, with very large, deep, broad grain and 
small cob. Will do well on thin Florida soil and is popular as a 
fine roasting-ear Corn. Hickory King is a standard throughout 
the South and exceedingly popular in Florida as an early field 
Corn, but too soft for a good keeper. 
(41b. 10c; 1 lb. 20c; 2 lbs. 30c; postpaid. 
Not prepaid, 14 lbs. (pk.) 85c; 56 lbs. (bu.) $3.00. 
MEXICAN JUNE. (89 days.) A splendid variety to plant in 
case your vegetable crop is a little late coming off the ground on 
which you desire to plant Corn. Furthermore, it is among the 
very best drought and heat-resistant varieties, which is frequent¬ 
ly quite an important feature when making late plantings. This 
variety is very popular and a good yielder. May be used for 
roasting ears. 
(41b. 10c; 1 lb. 20c; 2 lbs. 30c; postpaid. 
Not prepaid, 14 lbs. (pk.) 85c; 56 lbs. (bu.) $3.00. 
POP CORN 
Plant 10 pounds per acre. 
IMPROVED BABY RICE (White). (90 days.) Selected 
and developed from the old style White Rice Pop Corn. It is 
larger in every respect than the old style, making taller plants, 
with many plants producing two to three ears. The ears are 
large, round, from three to five inches long, with many rows of 
kernels, and the kernels are long and slender in shape. It is a 
very heavy yielder. The cob is very small, so that 115 to 120 lbs. 
of ear corn will usually shell about 100 lbs. of shelled corn. 
Pkt. 10c; lb. 20c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 10 lbs. $1.30; 
25 lbs. $3.00; 100 lbs. $11.00.
