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 
planting seed potatoes having a high degree of freedom from 
disease, and that are true to name, free from varietal mix¬ 
ture, and are produced by vigorous, healthy plants possessing 
high yielding qualities. It further means that the seed po¬ 
tatoes 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 preference to ordinary seed potatoes of 
doubtful source, history and quality. We do not accept orders 
for export of seed potatoes. 
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 desirable 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, depending on type of soil. 
A 4-7-5 fertilizer mixture is a good standard for potatoes.

which will be covered when laying by the corn.
