Kilgore’s Improved Straight-8 Cucumber 
KILGORE’S IMPROVED STRAIGHT-8. (47 days.) The plant 
is vigorous in growth, very prolific and produces symmetrical, 
almost cylindrical fruits. As indicated by the name, the fruits 
are perfectly straight, averaging about eight inches long, well 
filled at the ends and when ready for harvest are smooth and 
dark green in color. Our improved strain is darker green in 
color than other strains and exceedingly uniform in size, 
shape and color, making it an ideal packing and shipping 
type. Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; V% Ib. 60c; 1 Ib. $2.00. 
KILGORE’S IMPROVED “A. & C.”’ (50 days.) We are offer- 
ing seed of this popular variety which was produced by us 
from seed secured from the originator, and on which we have 
made special selections in an endeavor to improve this splen- 
did strain still further. The vigorous growing, disease resist- 
ant vines produce an abundance of uniform, exceedingly dark 
green cucumbers, averaging 10 inches long. The fruits are of 
uniform diameter from stem to blossom end, are rather slim, 
averaging 14% to 11/4 inches in diameter, without any bulge 
in the center, and with a slight taper at the ends. This 
is one of the best bred and most popular strains of cucumber 
in existence. A very heavy yielder of fancy fruits.

COLORADO. (50 days.) This outstanding variety is filling 
a most important place in the growing of cucumbers in 
Florida for shipment to northern markets. It holds its intense 
dark green color and firmness for a long time in transit and 
on the markets. The fruits are of medium length, averaging 
from 9 to 10 inches, and are slender, averaging about 1% 
inches in diameter, and are well-filled at both ends, differ- 
ing from A. & C. in this respect, of exceedingly dark green 
color with no striping at the blossom end. Very attractive 
and handsome in appearance and an enormous yielder of 
extra fancy fruits, far out-yielding other varieties of this 
type.

KILGORE’S IMPROVED LONG DARK GREEN. (50 days.) The 
vigorous vines of this variety produce an enormous yield of 
fancy, long (ranging from 9 to 10 inches) cucumbers, very 
dark green in color clear to the blossom end. The fruits are 
perfectly straight and cylindrical in shape, not quite as thick 
as many other varieties, uniform in shape and color, and or- 
dinarily running over ninety per cent fancies.

an enormous crop of fancy fruits, and are extremely early. 
The fruits average eight inches in length and are smooth, 
perfectly cylindrical in shape, well-filled at the ends, medium 
green in color, and very uniform in size, shape and color. 
This strain is especially well suited for fall and early spring

COLLARD 
Sow %4 pound in seed-bed to plant an acre, or plant 
Y pound per acre in field. 
Currure, Collard is an old standby for winter greens all 
over the South. May be started in seed-beds or seed may be 
planted direct in the field, spacing the plants 2 to 3 feet apart 
each way, or better 18 to 24 inches apart in 8 foot rows. If it 
is hot and dry when setting the plants, a moist soil should be 
selected. Use about 800 lbs. of a 4-7-5 fertilizer per acre 
before setting plants. Collard can be planted every month 
of the year in Florida, but it grows best and produces 
the highest edible quality during cool weather. This vege- 
table should be included in every Florida family garden, 
as it is very hardy, easy to grow and will furnish an abund- 
ance of “greens”, high.in health-producing vitamins, In har- 
vesting, leaves may be broken from the tall stems, and the 
plant left to continue to grow and produce more leaves 
throughout the season. Cook in a generous amount of water, 
season with bacon. Add salt and season with sour relish. 
Makes a very healthful dish.

LOUISIANA SWEET (Dark Green Strain). (60 days.) This is 
an improved strain of the Old Georgia variety, recently de- 
veloped by Dr. Julian C. Miller of the Louisiana Agricultural 
Station. Unlike other Collards the leaf blades develop from 
the base up the entire length of the leaf-stem, making a very 
attractive, heavier-foliaged type. The plant has been bred to 
develop a deep, compact, rosette center with a large mass 
of thick, tender, dark green leaves entirely free of purple or 
red color. This new variety is highly recommended for com- 
mercial growers and shippers. The tall growing plant is 
hardy and slow to go to seed. 
Pkt. 5¢; 1% Ib. 30c; 1 Ib. $1.00. 
GEORGIA OR SOUTHERN (WHITE STEMMED). (60 days.) 
A non-heading type of the cabbage family, very extensively 
grown for greens in home and commercial gardens in Florida. 
Plant grows from two to three feet tall, is erect and spread- 
ing, with many large, undulated leaves on a. white stem. 
Withstands cold as well as heat, and adverse soil conditions. 
Adapted to conditions where cabbage will not grow. A high 
yielding hardy type, of excellent quality when cooked. The 
old standard variety for Florida and the South. 
Pkt. 5c; 1% Ib. 30c; 1 Ib. $1.00. 
CABBAGE COLLARD. (60 days.) This collard is claimed 
to have been developed from a cross between Georgia Col- 
lard and Jersey Wakefield Cabbage. It inherits the hardiness 
of the collard, and develops a large, loose cluster of cabbage 
flavored, tender leaves, which can be left on the plant and 
picked as needed. Plants are rather compact and grow one 
and one-half to two feet high. Of Georgia origin and well 
adapted to Florida. 
Pkt. 5c; 1% Ib. 30c; 1 Ib. $1.00.
