IMPORTANT DIRECTIONS TO CUSTOMERS 
By carefully observing the following directions, mistakes and misunderstandings will be very largely avoided. 
All Seed Crops are Short—Order Early 
Seed Crop Shortage 
Crops of most seed items are in very short supply this 
year, due to the inability of obtaining any seed from Europe, 
and the poor growing conditions which have prevailed in 
most of the seed growing areas of the north and west. We 
advise early purchases while supplies are still available. 
How to Order 
Please be careful to sign your name, box number, street 
or rural route, post office and State on every order. Be 
sure to tell us your nearest express or freight office should 
you desire the seed forwarded by express or freight. Please 
itd PEALE E Cash With Order or C. O. D. 
Ours is a cash business and our prices are made on that 
basis. Customers are requested to remit when ordering, and 
by so doing save the C.O.D. fee charged by express com- 
panies, banks, and postal authorities for collecting and re- 
turning money. 
Perishable Items Not Sent C. O. D. 
Perishable items, such as strawberry plants, rose bushes, 
nursery stock, seed potatoes, onion sets, etc., are not sent 
C.O.D. under any circumstances. Remittance for such items 
must be sent with order. 
How to Send Money 
Remittances should be made by post-office money orders, 
express money orders, drafts or checks. 
Remittance by Stamps 
On orders for seeds where the amount is less than 50 
cents, we will accept stamps in good condition the same as 
cash, but we would ask those remitting stamps to wrap 
them in oiled paper, if possible, to prevent their sticking 
together or to the order. 
Export Shipments to Cuba, the West Indies, and 
Foreign Countries 
For the convenience of our customers in the West Indies 
we have established the following agencies: M. J. Diaz y 
Cia, San Martin S/N, Havana, Cuba; Mr. A. C. Kopf, Nueva 
Gerona, Isle of Pines; Mr. F. C. Albury, Nassau, Bahamas; 
Sociedad Agricola Cooperativa de Puerto Rico, San Juan, 
Puerto Rico; Mr. Leslie R. Mordecai, 158 Harbour St., 
Kingston, Jamaica; Mr. Georges Coupet, P. O. Box A-25, 
Port au Prince, Haiti. These agents carry a fairly full line 
of Kilgore’s Bred-Rite Seeds during the season. 
For direct deliveries outside the continental United 
States, all prices quoted as “Postpaid” in this catalog are 
on an f.o.b. Plant City, Florida, basis, and the proper 
amount for postage must be added to the cost of the seeds. 
Due to present uncertain conditions, all prices quoted are 
subject to change without notice. 
Parcel-Post Rates to Cuba and the West Indies 
The parcel-post rate to Cuba and all other points in the 
West Indies is 14 cents for each pound or fraction thereof. 
If the net weight of an order is 1 pound or more, 1 pound 
must always be added to cover weight after being packed 
for shipment. Packages of merchandise weighing 8 ounces 
or less are subject to the postage rate of 14% cents for each 
2 ounces or fraction of 2 ounces. 
We Pay Postage to Points in Florida 
Please bear in mind that the postpaid prices indicated in 
this catalog include delivery to any point in Florida. 
Prices Subject to Change 
This catalog is printed during the early fall months, The 
market on many items of garden and field seeds, as well as 
supplies, has not yet been fully established. Consequently, 
prices on these items indicate value at time these pages are 
printed. In practically all cases orders will he filled at 
prices indicated in this catalog, but during this cricical 
period it must be understood that all prices are subject to 
change without notice. Write for prices on larger quantities. 
Non-Warranty 
We give no warranty, express or implied, as to descrip- 
tion, quality, productiveness, or any other matter of any 
seeds, bulbs or plants we sell, and we will not be responsi- 
ble for the crop. 
We test our seeds for germination before we send them 
to our customers. We have the fullest confidence in the 
quality of all the seeds we sell, but we have no control over 
them after they leave our hands. Satisfactory germination 
and production are dependent upoa many factors other than 
the quality of the seed, such as methods of planting, culti- 
vating, and fertilizing. 
Return of Seeds for Exchange 
To safeguard our customers and ourselves, seeds may not 
be returned if seed package has been broken. In case of 
error on our part, unbroken packages may be returned within 
10 days after shipment and we will gladly make correction 
at our expense. No customer would want to plant seed that 
had been returned from broken or opened packages, nor 
would we feel safe in filling an order with such returned 
seed. This is one reason we have never followed the policy 
of putting out our seeds to dealers. Our seeds are never 
out of our hands until they are sold direct to you thru our 
mail order department or thru one of our own stores or 
agencies. 
POSTAL INFORMATION 
PARCEL-POST RATES WITHIN THE UNITED STATES 
Postal rates which went into effect on October 1, 1982 
still apply. The weight limit for all zones is 70 pounds. 
From the Fourth to the Eighth Zone, shipments weighing 
10 pounds or more usually go as cheaply by express. Any 
weight up to 40 pounds in the first and second zones and 22 
pounds in the third zone will usually go just as cheaply by 
parcel post as by freight or express. 
In many sections of Florida that are not easily accessible 
by freight or express, parcel-post service will be found not 
only far more satisfactory, but more economical. If you 
are on a rural route, delivery will be made to your door by 
mail. 
Most Florida points are in the First or Second Zone; 
however, Jacksonville north, Live Oak north and west, and 
points on the East Coast south of Delray are in the Third 
Zone.

When you order your seeds to come by express or freight 
we can send them collect, so you may pay the transporta- 
tion charges on delivery. When ordering your seeds to be 
shipped by express or freight, always give your express or 
freight station, if it is not the same as your post-office. If 
your order is to be sent parcel-post, the postage must be 
paid in advance if the items ordered are not indicated as 
“postpaid” in this catalog, and you must send us the 
amount of postage in addition to the cost of the seeds. Do 
not have your order delayed or reduced by failing to add 
necessary postage. It will be found plainly stated above 
each item whether or not it is postpaid.
