How to order

rural route, post office and state on every order. Be sure to

the seed or merchandise forwarded by express, freight or truck 
line. Please write plainly. 
Cash with order or C. O. D. 
Ours is a cash business and our prices are made on that basis. 
Customers are requested to remit when ordering, and by so 
doing save the c.o.d. fee charged by express companies, banks, 
and postal authorities for collecting and returning money.

Perishable items, such as strawberry plants, rose bushes, seed 
potatoes, onion sets, etc., are not sent c.e.d. under any Cir- 
cumstances. Remittance must be sent with order. 
How to send remittance 
Remittances should be made by postal money orders, drafts, 
checks, or cash. Please do not send stamps. 
We pay postage to points in Florida 
The postpaid prices indicated in this catalog include delivery 
to any point in Florida. 
Prices subject to change 
This catalog is printed during the early fall months. The mar- 
ket on many items of garden and field seeds, as well as supplies, 
has not yet been fully established. Consequently, prices on 
these items indicate value at time these pages are printed. In 
practically all cases orders will be filled at prices indicated 
in this catalog, but all prices are subject to change without 
notice. Write for special prices on harger quantities. 
Export Shipments to Cuba and the West Indies 
For the convenience of our customers in the West Indies, we 
have established the following agencies: E. G. Del Campo, 
Nueva Gerona, Isle of Pines, Cuba; F. C. Albury, Nassau, 
Bahamas. 
Each order of pepper and tomato seed sent to Cuba requires 
an export certificate costing $3.00. 
For direct deliveries outside the continental United States, 
all prices quoted as “Postpaid” in this catalog are on an f.0.b. 
Plant City, Florida, basis, and the proper amaunt for postage 
must be added to the cost of the seeds. 
Parcel post rates to Cuba and the West Indies 
The parcel post rate to Cuba and all other points in the 
West Indies is 14 cents for each pound or fraction thereof. If 
the net weight of an order is 1 pound or more, | pound must 
always be added to cover weight after being packed for ship- 
ment. Packages of merchandise weighing 8 ounces or less are 
subject to the postage rate of 114 cents for each 2 ounces or 
fraction of 2 ounces. 
Air express shipments can now be made from Miami or 
Tampa, Florida, to any point in the West Indies. 
Return of seeds for exchange 
To safeguard our customers and ourselves, seeds may not be 
returned if seed package has been broken. In case of error on 
our part, unbroken packages may be returned within 10 days 
after shipment and we will gladly make correction at our €x- 
pense. No customer would want to plant seed that had been 
returned from broken or opened packages, nor would we fill 
an order with such returned sced. 
Warranty and Limitation of Liability 
We warrant that the seeds, bulbs and plants we sell are, at 
the time of delivery, as described on the container within 
recognized tolerances; but we limit our liability on this war-

mistakes and misunderstandings will be very largely avoided. 
Stock or lot number on all Kilgore’s seed packages 
Every lot of seed distributed by the Kilgore Seed Company 
will indicate on one end of the front of the envelope or on 
the back of the label on canned seed, or with large seed like 
beans, peas and comm on a tag attached to the bag, a stock 
number or lot number. This stock number is a code reference 
to our records of the history, performance and production of 
that particular lot of seed, by means of which we can trace it 
back to the growers’ field where it was produced and to our 
trial plantings. It is recommended that every commercial 
grower of vegetables retain the empty packages or tags with 
the stock numbers from which Kilgore’s seed is planted. Cor- 
respondence pertaining to the performance of Kilgore’s Bred- 
Rite seeds should include the specific lot number of the seed 
under consideration to aid investigation. 
About ordering seeds early 
Where with certain kinds or varieties of seeds it is indicated 
“seed supply very limited” we advise our customers to order 
early, However, it should be borne in mind that it is never 
advisable or safe to hold many kinds of vegetable seeds through 
the summer months in the humid, hot climate of Florida, under 
which conditions the seed loses its vitality and germinating 
ability very rapidly. This is particularly true of such seeds 
as beans, corn, onion, pepper, eggplant, celery, lettuce, carrot 
and cauliflower. Whenever such seeds are indicated as being 
in limited supply, they should be ordered when ready to plant, 
or if any quantity is desired they may be ordered or booked 
with us in advance, and we will hold them for you in our 
special dehumidified or dry storage room where they will re- 
tain their vitality until you are ready to plant them. 
Postal, Express, and Sales Tax information 
The parcel post weight limit for first and second zones is 40 
pounds; 20 pounds in the third to eighth zones. Any weight 
up to 40 pounds in the first and second zones and 20 pounds 
in the third zone will usually go just as cheaply by parcel post 
as by freight or express. 
In many sections of Florida that are not easily accessible by 
freight or express, parcel post service will be found not only 
far more satisfactory, but more economical. If on a rural route, 
delivery will be made to your door by mail.
