CUCUMBER (Continued) 

Kilgore’s Improved “A & C’? Cucumbers 
One of the best bred and most popular cucumbers in existence. 
KILGORE’S IMPROVED “A. &C.”? (50 days.) We are 
offering 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 1144 to 1% 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 exist- 
ence. A yery 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 134 inches in 
diameter, and are well-filled at both ends, differing 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 STRAIGHT-8. (47 days.) The 
plant is vigorous in growth, very prolific and produces sym- 
metrical, 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 dark- 
er green in color than other strains and exceedingly uniform 
in size, shape and color, making it an ideal packing and ship- 
ping type. Especially recommended for fall planting in Flor- 
ida, but should not be planted for a late spring crop because 
the fruits have a tendency to be very light in color late in the 
season.

GENUINE EARLIEST BLACK DIAMOND. (42 days.) 
This is an extremely early, very prolific variety of the white 
spine type of cucumber. The fruits average seven inches in 
length, are perfectly cylindrical in shape, smooth and of hand- 
some appearance. Fruits are very dark green in color, holding 
this color long after they are harvested and on the market. An 
ideal type for dill pickles and for long distance shipment.

EARLY GREEN MARKET or MARKETER. (New) (45 
days.) This new variety comes from a cross of Straight-8 and 
the “A & C” type. It produces a cucumber similar in shape to 
Straight-8 but one which holds its dark green color much bet- 
ter than does Straight-8, especially in late spring. The vine 
growth is somewhat heavier than Straight-8, making it a better 
spring variety. Green Market is very early and exceedingly 
prolific, throwing a large number of female blossoms per plant, 
and it is also quite disease resistant. The fruits are exceedingly 
uniform in size, shape and color. 
Seed supply extremely limited.

COLLARD 
Sow 4% pound in seed-bed to plant an acre, or plant 
1% pound per acre in field. 
For the garden sow one packet in seed-bed for 35 plants 
to set 50 feet of row, or plant two packets in 50 feet of 
row for a family of 3 or 4 people. 
CuLture. 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, in rows 2 to 2% feet apart, with 
plants 14 to 18 inches apart in the row. If it is hot and dry 
when setting the plants, a moist soil should be selected. Use 
about 800 pounds 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 vegetable should be included 
in every Florida family garden, as it is very hardy, easy to grow 
and will furnish an abundance of “greens,” high in health-pro- 
ducing vitamins. In harvesting, leaves may be broken from 
the tall stems, and the plant left to continue to grow and pro- 
duce more leaves throughout the season. Makes a very hea!th- 
ful dish. 
The number of days in parentheses after each variety named 
indicates the number of days from setting out plants to harvest. 
It requires about a month in the seed-bed to get plants from 
seed sowing to transplanting stage. 
Prices quoted are postpaid. 
Write for special prices on larger quantities. 
LOUISIANA SWEET (Dark Green Strain). (50 days.) 
This is an improved strain of the Old Georgia variety, developed 
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, ten- 
der, dark green leaves entirely free of purple or red color. 
This new variety is highly recommended for commercial grow- 
ers and shippers. The tall growing plant is hardy and slow 
to go to seed.

GEORGIA OR SOUTHERN. (50 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 spreading, 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 excel- 
lent quality when cooked. This is the old standard variety for 
Florida and the South, and is used more extensively than any 
other variety.

CABBAGE COLLARD. (52 days.) This collard is claimed 
to have been developed from a cross between Georgia Collard 
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.
