THE KILGORE SEED COMPANY has had 40 years of 
experience in Florida, studying the particular seed require- 
ments of Florida growers. The Kilgore seed-growing fields 
are located in the NORTH and WEST, not in Florida. 
They are thoroughly inspected each summer for freedom 
from disease and trueness to type by an experienced mem- 
ber of our organization. In this way, we are certain that our 
seeds are grown under proper conditions, and that all off- 
type plants are destroyed before flowering and seeding. 
GARLIC 4» 
Plant | pound to 30 feet of row for a family of 3 or 4 people,

so-called sets or cloves, which are planted the same as onion 
sets, from August to November, in rows 15 to 20 inches apart, 
setting the cloves about 4 inches apart in the row. Garlic is a 
southern crop and does well in Florida. They should be stored 
in a dry, airy place until used.

Florida. The plants also stand heat, and can be grown almost 
the year around in Florida, except in midsummer.

6 to 8 inches apart in the rows. Planting every ten days will 
give a succession of tender, fleshy stems until hot weather.

made until early spring. 
WHITE VIENNA. (50 days from seed sowing to edible stage.) 
The fleshy stems, or so-called bulbs, are formed above ground 
and are very light green, very tender and delicate, and of best

50 feet of row, or plant 1 pkt. to 50 feet of row for a family

or winter directly in the field, or preferably in seed-beds, in 
good rich soil. When plants in seed-beds are six to eight inches 
high, transplant to rows 18 inches apart, and 5 to 6 inches 
apart in the row, or thin out to this spacing in the field. The 
long, thick, fleshy blanched stems of Leek when boiled and 
served with a butter or cream dressing are delicious. They are 
also used for seasoning and flavoring soups and stews, and in 
salads, and may be eaten like green onions. The stems are eight 
to ten inches long and 114 inches thick. When marketed they 
are tied in bunches with twelve Leeks to a bunch.
