52 The Bulletin. 



King's Improved has a boll a little smaller than Peterkin's Im- 

 proved, but does not generally yield quite as high percentage of lint. 

 It has a rather small stalk, with spreading limbs. This and 

 Dozier's Improved are two of the earliest-maturing varieties thus far 

 tested. It occupied seventh place in 1902, third in 1903 and 1904, 

 sixteenth in 1906 and twelfth in 1907 at Edgecombe; fourth in 1902, 

 sixth in 1903 and 1904 at Ked Springs; second in 1903, first in 1904 

 and 1906, eleventh in 1905 and second in 1907 at Iredell. 



Edgeworth stood first in 1903, tenth in 1904 and 1905, eighth in 

 1906 and sixteenth in 1907 at Edgecombe; fifth in 1903 and ninth 

 in 1904 at Ked Springs; fourth in 1903, eleventh in 1904, twelfth 

 in 1905, thirteenth in 1906 and twentieth in 1907 at Iredell. It has 

 a rather heavy stalk, large leaves and short stems, and is ordinarily 

 a rather late-maturing variety. 



Moss' Improved stood first in 1900, sixth in 1901, seventeenth in 



1904, eighth in 1905, tenth. in 1906 and twentieth in 1907 at Edge- 

 combe ; sixth in 1901 and seventeenth in 1904 at Red Springs ; nine- 

 teenth in 1904, eighteenth in 1905, seventeenth in 1906 and thirteenth 

 in 1907 at Iredell. This variety possessed as high percentage of lint 

 as any other variety tested during the past three years. 



Cook's Improved ranked second in 1904, fifth in 1905, first in 1906 

 and sixth in 1907 at Edgecombe; tenth in 1904, third in 1905 and 

 third in 1907 at Iredell. It is a medium early maturing variety. 



Webb occupied eighth and seventeenth places at Edgecombe in 



1904 and 1905, fourth in 1906 and ninth in 1907 ; seventh at Eed 

 Springs in 1904; and third, fifth, eleventh and twenty-third in 1904, 



1905, 1906 and 1907 at Iredell. Has rather small bolls and seeds. 

 Shine's Extra Early Prolific ranked eleventh in 1904, fifteenth in 



1905, twenty-first in 1906 and second in 1907 at Edgecombe; twelfth 

 at Red Springs in 1904; and fifth in 1904, seventh in 1905, fourth 

 in 1906 and nineteenth in 1907 at Iredell. Our tests of three years 

 indicate this to be a rather early maturing variety. 



Black Texas Wood ranked fifteenth in 1904 and 1906, ninth in 



1905 and twenty-seventh in 1907 at Edgecombe; thirteenth at Red 

 Springs in 1904; twentieth in 1904, fifteenth in 1905, fourteenth in 



1906 and twenty-second in 1907 at Iredell. This is a late-maturing 

 variety. 



King's Improved (native) stood first in 1903 and 1905, second in 

 1904, third in 1906 and fourth in 1907 at the Iredell farm. 



Wilson's Matchless ranked sixteenth in 1905, twelfth in 1906 and 

 eighteenth in 1907 at Edgecombe; sixth in 1905, fifth in 1906 and 

 eleventh in 1907 at Iredell. 



Dozier's Improved ranked twentieth in 1905, eleventh in 1906 and 

 seventeenth in 1907 at Edgecombe ; ninth in 1905, eighth in 1906 and 

 eighteenth in 1907 at Iredell. This is a small-boiled and very early 

 maturing variety.
