A & C (Kilgore’s Improved Strain) 
One of the best bred and most popular cucumbers in existence. 
A & C (KILGORE’S IMPROVED). (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 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 114 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 cucumbers 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 134 inches in 
diameter, and are well filled at both ends, of exceedingly dark 
green color. Very attractive and handsome in appearance and 
an enormous yielder of extra fancy fruits.

WAUCHULA STAYS GREEN—SPECIAL LONG STRAIN. 
(40 days.) The plants are exceedingly prolific, producing 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 planting in 
Florida, but not desirable for late spring. It is an enormous 
yielder. 
Seed crop a complete failure. 
No seed available until fall 1945. 
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 handsome 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. 
Seed supply extremely limited.

MARKETER (EARLY GREEN MARKET). = (50 days.) 
This high yielding variety comes from a cross of Straight 8 
and A & C type. It produces a cucumber similar in shape to 
Straight 8, but it holds its dark green color much better 
especially in late spring. Particularly admired for the neat 
appearance and uniformity of its many fruits, which are of 
an exceptionally rich, uniform, dark green color down to the 
blossom end. The vine growth is somewhat more vigorous than 
Straight 8, making it a better spring variety. It also stands 
intense heat of late spring better than other varieties. Marketer 
is exceedingly prolific, throwing an exceptionally large num- 
ber of female blossoms per plant. The fruits are exceptionally 
uniform in size, shape and color.

COLLARD 
Sow 1 pound in seed-bed to plant an acre, or plant 
4 pound per acre in field. 
For the garden make two sowings at different times. 
Sow 1 packet in seed-bed for 35 plants for each plant- 
ing to set 50 feet of row, or plant one packet in 50 feet 
of row at each planting for a family of 3 or 4 people. 
Cutture. 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 3 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 cut from 
the tall stems, and the plant left to continue to grow and pro- 
duce more leaves throughout the season. Makes a very health- 
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 hase 
up the entire length of the leaf-stem, making a very altractive, 
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. 
Sold out. 
No seed available until about July 1, 1945. 
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.
