CABBAGE (Continued) 
STEIN’S EARLY FLAT DUTCH. (90 days.) This is an 
old standard, hardy, winter variety. It produces a very large- 
sized plant, spreading in growth, with few large, broad outer 
leaves. The head is of large size, flat, and very solid.

SAVOY CABBAGE, PERFECTION DRUMHEAD. (90 
days.) Savoy cabbage is commonly called “curly-leaf” or 
“curly” cabbage. It has a distinct flavor which is favored by 
many people. The plant is of large growth. The large, rich, 
dark green leaves are uniformly wrinkled or savoyed and curled. 
The heads are medium in size, hard, and stand a long time 
without bursting. This is the best variety of the savoy type for 
Florida.

KILGORE’S RED ACRE. (72 days.) This variety fills a 
long felt need in being the only red cabbage that matures very 
early, only a few days later than Extra Early Copenhagen Mar- 
ket. The plant is very small, compact and makes good sized, 
round, hard, deep red colored head. Very uniform as to type 
and color. Especially desirable for muck land production in 
Florida. 
Seed crop a complete failure. 
No seed available until early Fall 1944. 
KILGORE’S IMPROVED RED DANISH. (98 days.) This 
Improved strain of Red Danish is the most highly bred, heavy 
yielding, and uniform strain yet developed. The plants are of 
vigorous, but compact growth, every plant producing a hard, 
heavy head, with excellent dark red color throughout, free 
from bursting, and an ideal type for shipment. No more uni- 
form, true to type, heavy yielding variety of red cabbage can 
be secured anywhere. Every plant will produce a good, market- 
able head. A big improvement over the old Mammoth Red Rock.

CHINESE CABBAGE 
Plant 1 pound per acre 
In the garden plant one packet to 25 feet of row for a 
family of 3 or 4 people. 
Cu.ture. This is distinctly a cool-weather plant and should 
not be planted for a spring or summer crop, because it quick- 
ly bolts to seed in hot weather. It should be planted only for 
a late fall and winter crop. Seeds should be planted in 2% 
to 3 foot rows where the crop is to mature, thinning out as 
the plants develop to stand 8 to 12 inches in the row. May be 
started in seed-bed and transplanted like cabbage, but usually 
does better when started in the field or garden where crop is 
to mature. If started in seed-bed, only half as much seed is 
required as for field or garden planting. Chinese Cabbage 
may be used in any raw salad and for plate decoration. It 
may also be boiled like ordinary cabbage. It is a very tender, 
healthful vegetable and very nutritious and digestible. 
KILGORE’S IMPROVED PEKIN CELERY CABBAGE. 
(70 days from seed planting in field or garden to edible stage.) 
This strain of Chinese Cabbage surpasses all other varieties 
of Chinese Cabbage. It is sure heading, maturing into long, 
slender, very firm, well blanched, crisp, tender and sweet heads, 
readily salable in any market. The heads become 18 to 20 
inches tall, 344 to 4 inches thick, tapered near the tip. Hardy 
and of easy culture. Does best as a fall and winter crop. In 
warm weather in spring it tends to bolt to seed before heading 
properly. A good shipper and an excellent keeper.

CAULIFLOWER 
Sow 4 ounces in seed-bed to plant an acre 
In the garden sow one packet in protected seed-bed for 
thirty plants to set 50 feet for a family of 3 or 4 people. 
No crop is affected more in its behavior by weather and soil 
conditions than is cauliflower. Because of the frequent spells 
of hot weather and high humidity during the winter months 
in Florida, which conditions are not conducive for good cauli- 
flower production, it has been difficult to consistently produce 
this crop to perfection with ordinary varieties and strains of 
cauliflower seed. We have been working for several years in 
an endeavor to secure strains of cauliflower which will do well 
under Florida climatic and soil conditions. As a result of 
numerous tests and trial plantings, we have found and are 
now offering strains which are particularly well suited to the 
high temperature and humidity conditions of Florida. 
CuLture. We recommend starting plants in well prepared 
seed-beds where they can be given proper care and attention. 
Conditions should be provided for the continuous rapid growth 
of cauliflower seedlings and plants. A cauliflower plant which 
has once been checked or stunted in growth will never pro- 
duce a large, well-formed head. Plant from September to Jan- 
uary and cultivate the same as cabbage. Cauliflower needs 
a very rich soil and plenty of moisture. Just as soon as the 
head develops to the size of a walnut, it is very important to 
draw the outer leaves over the head and tie with soft cord 
to produce attractive, pure white, solid heads. 
The number of days in parentheses after each variety indi- 
cates the number of days to produce edible heads from setting 
out plants in the field or garden.

KILGORE’S EARLY SUPER SNOWBALL. (100 days.) 
This is a very early maturing strain of the Snowball type, which, 
because of the curled formation of the leaves over the head 
protects it from the sun and from freezing. The dwarf, com- 
pact plants are strong, vigorous, with many short, large, round, 
broad, heavy, spreading, light green leaves, and a short, stout 
stem. The heads are broad, large, smooth, solid, pure white 
in color, and exceedingly uniform; under proper growing con- 
ditions, producing over 90% grade one heads. Highly recom- 
mended as an early winter crop, to mature in cold weather.

1 Ib. $40.00 
SNOWDRIFT. (105 days.) This is one of the surest head- 
ers known, and is especially well adapted to withstand the 
hot, humid climatic conditions prevalent in Florida. The vig- 
orous plants grow larger and taller than Snowball, are more 
compact and upright in growth, with long, tall, rather narrow, 
elliptical shape, erect growing, dark green leaves, which pro- 
tect the head or curd in its early growth. The large, snow- 
white, attractive heads are very deep, heavy, and firm or 
solid, even under relatively hot, humid growing conditions, 
making this an ideal variety for early spring production in 
Florida. Very free of leafy and ricy heads. This variety should 
satisfy the most critical growers. A most desirable type for 
long distance shipment.
