Kilgore’s Super Improved Colossal Peppers 
Grown by Walton Bros. at Pompano, Florida 
KILGORE’S SUPER IMPROVED COLOSSAL. (110 days.) 
After several years of very expensive, special breeding and 
selection work, we have developed a superior strain of the 
Colossal variety. The plant is very heavy, strong and vigor- 
ous, with exceedingly large, heavy leaves which protect the 
fruits from sun scalding. The plants produce an immense 
yield of large, uniformly thick-fleshed, four-lobed fruits, 
about five inches long and four and one-half inches wide. It 
takes very few of these large fruits to fill a one and one-half 
bushel crate. Unlike other strains of large fruited peppers, 
this improved strain continues to produce large fruits over 
a very long period, making a heavy top set at the same time 
it matures a large crop of early fruits. Pepper growers who 
want heavy yields of very large size fruits throughout the 
season should by all means plant some of this Super Improved 
strain. This variety survives poor growing conditions and 
still produces a heavy crop of large, fancy fruits better than 
other varieties. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 45c; % Ib. $1.40; 1 Ib. $5.00. 
EARLY CALWONDER. (115 days.) An early maturing strain 
of California Wonder, maturing 7 to 10 days ahead of other 
strains of this type, and according to our Florida tests this 
strain holds up and produces large size fruits over a long 
season. The plant is not as tall and erect in growth as 
regular California Wonder, but is more dwarf and spreading, 
although very vigorous and prolific. The fruits are three and 
four lobed and very attractive in appearance, being smooth, 
dark green in color, uniform and very thick meated. This 
extra early strain should be planted by every grower inter- 
ested in a thick meated type of pepper. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 40c; 1% Ib. $1.25; 1 Ib. $4.50. 
LONG RED CAYENNE OR FINGER (hot). (115 days) This 
favorite hot variety produces large and productive plants. 
Fruits, 4 to 5 inches long, 1% inch thick, slender, tapering, 
pendant, very pungent, deep green in color, ripening to a 
brilliant red. Used largely for canning and in pickles. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 40c; 1% Ib. $1.25; 1 Ib. $4.50. 
The Standard of Quality in Florida for Over 30 Years 
BLIGHT RESISTANT WORLD BEATER. (New) (115 days.) 
This new strain of World Beater was developed by many 
years of individual plant selections in Manatee County, Fla., 
to secure a strain of true, heavy yielding World Beater 
type that would resist bacterial b:ight, and would not drop its 
leaves during rainy weather or poor growing conditions when 
other strains of World Beater, and other varieties, would not 
survive or would not produce a heavy crop of fruits. This is 
a very superior, disease resistant strain of World Beater 
which is especially well adapted for a fall crop in Florida. 
It stands poor growing conditions better than any other 
strain of World Beater and still produces an enormous crop, 
when other strains are practically a complete failure, espe- 
cially in late fall and during rainy weather. Seed supply very 
limited. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 50c; %4 Ib. $1.65; 1 Ib. $6.00. 
KILGORE’S IMPROVED RUBY GIANT. (115 days.) This im- 
proved strain of Ruby Giant which we have developed as the 
result of many years individual plant selections makes an ex- 
ceedingly strong, vigorous, upright growing plant, it being 
more disease resistant and withstanding poor growing con- 
ditions, yet preducing a good crop, better than other varieties 
of this type. Dark green fruits are somewhat similar tc 
World Beater in shape, being large, four lobed, slightly 
tapering, and very attractive in appearance. The thick flesh 
is exceedingly sweet, mild, and of excellent quality. Our 
strain of this variety is extremely productive and bears over 
a long period, producing very large fruits uniformly true 
to type. 
Pkt. 5¢; oz. 40c; 1% Ib. $1.15; 1 Ib. $4.00. 
IMPROVED CALIFORNIA WONDER. (125 days.) An out- 
standing, medium late variety, gaining in importance. Plant 
is vigorous, upright, prolific. The thick meated, smooth, 
large, heavy fruits average about four inches in length and 
about the same in diameter. We have improved this variety 
by making our strain more productive and longer bearing 
than most others. This is an excellent shipping type, holding 
up well in transit and on the market, and is in great demand 
for hauling by trucks because of its good holding-up qualities. 
Solid, thick walls and very sweet and mild. Blocky in shape. 
Color an attractive, glossy dark green. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 40c; 1% Ib. $1.15; 1 Ib. $4.00. 
NEAPOLITAN (Italian). (105 days.) This is an extremely 
early, medium large, prolific variety, growing in popularity 
on some northern markets where it is in great demand among 
Italian people. The plant is wonderfully productive, carrying 
as many as forty fruits on a single plant. The fruits are up- 
right in growth, averaging 4 inches long and 2 inches in diam- 
eter. Three lobed, yellowish green in color, becoming bright 
red when ripe. The flesh is extremely mild and sweet. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 40c; % Ib. $1.25; 1 Ib. $4.50. 
ANAHEIM CHILI (Hot). (120 days.) A popular, hot, pun- 
gent variety. The fruits are very meaty, measuring 6 to 7 
inches in length and 1 to 1%% inches in diameter at stem end, 
and are green, ripening to a bright red. Often dried for win- 
ter use. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 45c; 1% Ib. $1.40; 1 Ib. $5.00. 
HUNGARIAN YELLOW WAX (hot). (110 days.) <A very 
early, hot sort, valuable for canners, Plants are rather dwarf 
in growth, and exceedingly prolific. Fruits pendant, medium
