KILGORES SEED POTATOES 
Plant 600 pounds per acre in three foot rows. 


A typical tuber of Kilgore’s State Certified Red Bliss 
or Triumph Potato 
State certification is a system of official inspection which 
guarantees the grading of potato seed stock. This insures 
planting seed potatoes having a high degree of freedom from 
disease, and that are true to name, free from varietal mix- 
ture, and are produced by vigorous, healthy plants possessing 
high yielding qualities. It further means that the seed po- 
tatoes must be graded for size and freedom from mechanical 
injuries. State Certified seed costs a little more, but growers 
have found from experience that it pays well to use only 
State Certified in preference to ordinary seed potatoes of 
doubtful source, history and quality. 
Cu.ture. The fall and early spring crop should be planted 
from September 1 to March 1; the bulk of the spring crop in 
south and central Florida between January Ist and February 
15th; the more northern part of the state planting heavy a 
little later. Plant in rows three feet apart, dropping a seed 
every four to six inches in the row. If weather is cool, plant 
seed four inches deep; if warm six inches deep. In cutting 
the seed leave two or three good eyes to each seed piece. 
Using a large seed piece will insure a stronger plant. For 
early fall planting in Florida during September, it is desir- 
able to use small potatoes and plant whole in order to secure 
a satisfactory stand. Fertilizer should be put in seven to 
eight days before planting. Use from 1,000 to 2,000 lbs. per 
acre, depending on type of soil. A 4-7-5 fertilizer mixture 
is a good standard for potatoes.
