Important Directions to Customers 
By carefully observing the following directions, mistakes and misunderstandings will be very largely avoided. 
How to order—Please be careful to sign your name, 
box number, street or rural route, post office and 
state on every order. Be sure to tell us your nearest 
express or freight office should you desire 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 return- 
ing money. 
Perishable items not sent C. O. D.—Perishable items, 
such as strawberry plants, rose bushes, seed potatoes, 
onion sets, etc., are not sent c.o.d. under any circum- 
stances. Remittances 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 dur- 
ing the early fall months. The market 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 larger 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. Al- 
bury, Nassau, Bahamas. 
Each order of pepper and tomato seed sent to Cuba 
requires an export certificate costing $3.30. 
For direct deliveries outside the continental United States, 
all prices quoted as “Postpaid” in this catalog are on an f.o.b. 
Plant City, Florida, basis, and the proper amount 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, Bahamas and Jamaica is 45 
cents, for Haiti 61 cents, and for the Dominican Re- 
public 58 cents for the first pound or fraction thereof. 
If the net weight of an order is 1 pound or more, 1 
pound must always be added to cover weight after 
being packed for shipment. In each case add 22 cents 
per pound for each additional pound or fraction there- 
of to the above indicated pound rates. Packages of 
merchandise going to Cuba, Haiti or Dominican Repub- 
lic, weighing 8 ounces or less are subject to the post- 
age rate of 144 cents for each 2 ounces or fraction of 2 
ounces. To the Bahamas and Jamaica, packages weigh- 
ing 8 ounces or less are subject to the postage rate of 
3 cents for each 2 ounces or fraction thereof, with a 
minimum charge of 15 cents. 
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 warranty to the amount of the purchase price of such seeds, 
bulbs and plants. We give no other or further warranty express or 
implied.’ The Kilgore Seed Company. 
No legal action can be brought on any defect or variation resulting 
from the failure of any seed to be as represented unless notice is given 
within a reasonable time, and not later than 15 days from the time 
such defect or variation becomes apparent and is observed by the pur- 
chaser. Chapter 26814 Laws of Florida, Acts of 1951. THE KILGORE 
SEED COMPANY. 
Air express shipments can now be made from Mi- 
ami or Tampa, Florida, to any point in the West 
Indies. 
Return of seeds for exchange—To safeguard our cus- 
tomers 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 cor- 
rection at our expense. 
Stock or lot number on all Kilgore’s seed packages— 
Every lot of seed distributed by the Kilgore Seed Com- 
pany will indicate (on one end of the front of the en- 
velope or on the back of the label on canned seed, 
or with large seed like beans, peas, and corn 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. 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. 
Postal, Express, and Sales Tax information—The par- 
cel 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 sections of Florida that are not easily accessible 
by freight or express, parcel post service will be found 
not only more satisfactory, but more economical. If 
on a rural route, delivery will be made to your door 
by mail.

If in doubt about your zone rate, obtain it from your 
postmaster, and be sure to send enough money to cover 
necessary postage, if the items ordered are not indi- 
cated “postpaid” in this catalog. Do not have your 
order delayed or reduced by failing to add necessary 
money for postage. If you send too much money, it will 
be returned to you. It will be found plainly stated 
above each item whether or not it is postpaid. Also 
be sure to include with your remittance the State 
Sales Tax on non-exempt merchandise. (See Page 2). 
When you order your seeds and supplies to come by 
express or freight we can send them collect, so you 
may pay the transportation charges on delivery. Give 
your express or freight station, if it is not the same as 
your post office.
