Cabbage is a good crop for Florida. In Florida, cabbage 
may be planted from August to March, but heaviest plant¬ 
ings are made in September and October. 
CriTHRE. Cabbage is a heavy feeder and should be grown 
rapidly. Therefore, for best results, plenty of fertilizer 
should be used—not less than 1000 pounds per acre, and a 
ton is better. You cannot grow a big, heavy crop of Cabbage 
on a starvation ration. Where planted in seed-beds, which is 
the desirable and common practice, plant seed thin in drills 
6 inches apart, cover 1 inch deep, using 6 ounces of seed for 
an acre of plants, and do not make the soil in seed-beds as 
rich as soil where plants are to be set. When seed is planted 
in the field, use 12 ounces of seed per acre. Make rows 2V Z 
to 3 feet apart and set plants 12 to 15 inches apart in row, 
depending on size of head you wish to produce. If you de¬ 
sire small heads, crowd the plants; for large heads, place 
farther apart. To control cabbage worms and loopers as well 
as aphids most effectively, use Pyrocide dust. This insecti¬ 
cide leaves no harmful residue on cabbage heads. (See page 
55.) 
Plant our Bred-Rite brands of Cabbage seed for results 
that cannot fail to satisfy. Kilgore’s Bred-Rite Cabbage 
seed has been developed and selected for uniformity, high 
yield, and trueness to type. It is very important to treat cab¬ 
bage seed with Semesan or some other good disinfectant be¬ 
fore planting. (See page 56.) 
For best results plant Kilgore’s Bred-Rite brands of cab¬ 
bage seed, which have been developed and selected for uni¬ 
formity, high yield, and trueness to type. In planting Bred- 
Rite cabbage seed you take no chances because you are 
planting tested and proved seed. 
For your convenience, cabbage varieties are grouped ac¬ 
cording to time of maturity, early varieties first, then 
medium early, followed by the late maturing varieties which 
are listed last.

KILGORE'S BRED-RITE GOLDEN ACRE. (80 days.) An ex¬ 
tremely early, small to medium-sized round-head Cabbage 
of the Copenhagen Market type, but considerably earlier 
than most stocks of Copenhagen Market and ahead of many 
stocks of Early Jersey Wakefield. Our strain of this variety 
heads up very uniformly and is exceptionally well bred, with 
inner leaves shorter than the head, and outer leaves growing 
horizontally. This variety is growing in popularity. It is of 
the finest quality for both home use and for shipping. 
Pkt. 5c; ox. 25c; Va lb. 60c; 1 lb. $2.00. 
AMERICA. (80 days.) One of the earliest medium-sized 
round-headed types. It matures with Early Jersey Wake¬ 
field. It is a vigorous grower, extremely solid, a sure header, 
and very uniform in maturity. The heads stand a long time 
without bursting and the quality is unsurpassed. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; Va lb. 60c; 1 lb. $2.00. 
KILGORE'S GREEN ACRE. (New) (85 days.) This entirely 
new round headed, extra early variety produces very compact 
growing plants, with leaves of glossy dark green color, with 
the inner leaves reaching about two inches above the head, 
and the outer leaves growing upright off the ground. Heads 
are larger, more solid, and heavier than heads of Golden 
Acre. The head leaves have a glossy deep green color, and the 
underlying, overlapping leaves are just as green, giving the 
head a fresh, green outer appearance, which will always be 
green, even after long distance shipping and handling. In 
the case of damaged surface leaves, these may be peeled off 
without altering the fresh appearance of the head, thus meet¬ 
ing the present day popular demand for “new crop cabbage, 
fresh and green.” Green Acre is destined to become one of 
the most popular varieties of cabbage for southern truck 
farming. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 35c; Va lb. $1.00; 1 lb. $3.50 
KILGORE'S BRED-RITE COPENHAGEN MARKET. (85 days.) 
Our extra-early strain of Bred-Rite Copenhagen Market has 
become very popular. It is short-stemmed, compact, with very 
solid, round, medium-sized heads, having few outer leaves, 
thus facilitating close planting. Our Bred-Rite stock is very 
uniform in shape, and matures practically all at the same 
time, which is very desirable from a marketing standpoint. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; Va lb. 50c; 1 lb. $1.75. 
MARION MARKET. (Yellows Resistant.) (93 days.) Sup¬ 
ply of seed very limited. This is a late maturing strain of 
Copenhagen Market, resistant to cabbage Yellows Disease. 
Larger and coarser in growth than Copenhagen, but with the 
round head and good quality of the regular Copenhagen Mar¬ 
ket. Will produce a normal crop on Yellows infected soils 
where non-resistant strains will fail completely. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 35c; Va lb. $1.00; 1 lb. $3.50 
KILGORE'S BRED-RITE EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD. (80 
days.) Our Bred-Rite stock has been bred and selected espe¬ 
cially for earliness. It is a week earlier than the old type 
Jersey Wakefield and is just as large. The small, medium¬ 
sized, conical-shaped, pointed heads are very firm, of finest 
quality, and very desirable for market or home use. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; Va lb. 50c; 1 lb. $1.75 
KILGORE'S BRED-RITE GLORY OF ENKHUIZEN. (95 days.) 
A splendid medium-early, round-headed type. Somewhat 
similar to Copenhagen Market, but slightly later, larger, and 
a heavier yielder. Heads are very solid, uniform in shape, 
size, and maturity, and of excellent shipping and market 
quality. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; Va lb. 50c; 1 lb. $1.75. 
KILGORE'S BRED-RITE CHARLESTON WAKEFIELD. (85 
days.) The heads are larger and broader at the base, not 
quite so pointed and slightly later in maturing than our 
Bred-Rite Early Jersey Wakefield. Of uniform size, very 
solid, and of very desirable market quality. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; Va lb. 50c; 1 lb. $1.75 
EARLY WINNINGSTADT. (90 days.) Very hardy and de¬ 
pendable. Heads extremely solid, of medium size, heart- 
shaped with a sharp point and a broad base. The leaves have 
a peculiar distinct twist at the sharp point of the head. Par¬ 
ticularly valuable for shipping. Does not crack readily, and 
can be held in the field for a considerable time. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; Va lb. 50c; 1 lb. $1.75. 
ALL HEAD EARLY. (95 days.) This Cabbage is well named, 
as it is early for a flat-headed variety and has comparatively 
few outer leaves, being almost all head. It develops a larger- 
sized plant than the early pointed and round-headed vari¬ 
eties. The large, solid, deep flat heads are uniform in shape, 
size, and maturity. Withstands heat and drought better than 
most other varieties, and is a very heavy yielder. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; Va lb. 50c; 1 lb. $1.75. 
STEIN'S EARLY FLAT DUTCH. (100 days.) This is an old 
standard, hardy, winter variety. It produces a very large¬ 
sized plant, spreading in growth, with few large, broad outer 
leaves. The head is of large size, flat, and very solid. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; Va lb. 50c; 1 lb. $1.75.
