ESCAROLLE — KILGORE'S IMPROVED FLORIDA DEEP 
HEART. (70 days.) One of the very best and most profitable 
types to grow commercially. In great demand on northern 
markets, and well adapted to Florida soil and climatic condi¬ 
tions. The leaves are large, broad, thick, slightly crumpled, of 
medium green color, with thick, nearly white midribs. Our im¬ 
proved stock of this variety is of the full-heart type, develop¬ 
ing an upright growth, producing a very heavy, thick matted 
plant with large, deep, well-blanched hearts, which blanch to a 
creamy white. Our tests indicate tliis stock to he hardier than 
other full-heart strains, and to stand long-distance shipment 
better. This new, improved variety has completely replaced 
tlie old Broad Leaved Batavian in commercial production.

GREEN CURLED. (Green Ribbed, Ruffec Strain.) (70 days.) 
A hardy, vigorous sort, with deep green, curled, finely cut 
leaves, giving a mossy appearance. The midrib is thick, broad, 
green, tender and fleshy. A dense mass of deeply divided 
leaves forms the head which blanches readily to a beautiful 
creamy white. The plant is hardy and vigorous.

THE KILGORE SEED COMPANY has had over 25 
years of experience in Florida, studying the particular 
seed requirements of Florida growers. The Kilgore seed¬ 
growing fields are located in the NORTH and WEST, not 
in Florida. They are thoroughly inspected each summer 
for freedom from disease and trueness to type by an ex¬ 
perienced member of our organization. In this way, we are 
certain that our seeds are grown under proper conditions 
and that all off-type plants are destroyed before flowering 
and seeding. 
Garlic sets come in the form of large Garlic bulbs which are 
divided into so-called sets or cloves, which are planted the 
same as onion sets, in rows 12 to 20 inches apart, setting the 
cloves 3 to 6 inches apart in the row. Garlic is a southern 
crop and does exceptionally well in Florida. The bulbs are 
used for flavoring soups and stews. They should be stored in 
a dry, airy place until used. 
Vi lb. 20c; 1 lb. 35c. 
KOHL RABI 
Plant 1 ounce to 50 feet of row. 
Culture. Plant in rows iy2 feet apart, thinning to six inches 
apart in the rows. Planting every ten days will give a succes¬ 
sion of tender, fleshy stems until hot weather. Start fall plant¬ 
ing in September, and successive plantings can be made until 
early spring. 
EARLY WHITE VIENNA. Extremely early, with distinctly 
small tops. The fleshy stems, or so-called bulbs, are formed 
above ground and are very light green or nearly white, very 
tender and delicate, and of best quality when used before 
fully grown. Prepared by slicing and boiling the same as 
turnips. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; Va lb. 60c; 1 lb. $2.00. 
KALE or BORECOLE 
Plant 1 ounce to 50 feet of row. 
Culture. Kale is extensively grown in Florida for “Greens.” 
Plant in Florida from August to April, in rows 2 feet apart, 
and for large plants thin to 20 inches apart in the row. The 
plants are extremely hardy, withstanding the coldest winter 
in any part of Florida. The plants also stand heat, and can be 
grown almost the year around in Florida, except in mid¬ 
summer. 
DWARF GREEN CURLED SCOTCH. This is the most de¬ 
sirable hardy variety for Florida and for the markets. It 
forms a handsome, dwarf, spreading plant with many long, 
heavy, finely curled, attractive, bright green leaves. The flavor 
of the leaves when boiled like spinach is delicate and entic¬ 
ing, making it popular w'herever grown. 
Pkt. 5c; Va lb. 25c; 1 lb. 75c. 
LEEK 
Sow 214 lbs. in seed-bed to plant an acre, or plant 4 lbs. 
per acre in field. 
Culture. Leek seed may be planted any time during the 
fall or winter direct in the field, or preferably in seed-beds, 
in good rich soil. When plants in seed-beds are six to eight 
inches high, transplant to rows sixteen to eighteen inches 
apart, and 3 to 4 inches apart in the row, or thin out to this 
spacing in the field. As the plants grow, it is well to cultivate 
and draw the earth to them. Leek is a kind of onion that does 
not form a bulb. The long, thick, fleshy blanched stems of 
leek w'hen boiled and served with a butter or cream dressing 
are delicious. They are also used for seasoning and flavoring 
soups and stew's, and in salads, and may be eaten like green 
onions. Leeks are considered superior to green onions be¬ 
cause of sweeter, milder flavor, and the larger, thicker stems 
produced. The stems are eight to ten inches long and V/n 
inches thick. When marketed they are tied in bunches with 
tw'clve Leeks to a bunch. 
LARGE AMERICAN FLAG. (80 days.) This is by far the 
heaviest yielding and the best variety for Florida growing 
conditions. It makes larger and thicker, more fleshy stems 
than other varieties. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 30c; Va lb. 85c; 1 lb. $3.00.
