FERGUSON'S 



Madison, Morgan Co., Ga., Sept. 1, 1893. 



Ferguson's Lintless Cotton is the grandest discov- 

 ers^ of the ag;e. For four years, experiments have 

 been made with this Cotton Seed. It comes true to 

 name every lime. It is one of the most abundant 

 bearers ever seen in cotton and will resist a drought 

 ten to fifteen days longer than any other cotton. 

 Stalks bear from forty to eighty seed in each boll. 

 Thej' contain more oil and more plant food than 

 any other cotton seed, and will make, this sejison, 

 four hundred or five hundred bushels of seed per 

 acre, planted 3x3 feet and cultivated as other cot- 

 ton. Sowed broadcast as peas for fertilizing pur- 

 poses up to the 10th of June, will shed on the land 

 from one liundred to two hundred bushels of seed, 

 without any work. The cotton grows tall, putting 

 out from six to eight long I'unning limlis near the 

 bottom of the stalk, They resemble potato vines. 

 Each of these limbs will mature from eight to 

 twenty bolls, besides the short limbs and brace 

 limbs common in otlier cotton. 



For stock it is superior to all others. Chickens, 

 turkeys, and ducks devour the seed when in the 

 i-oasting-ear state as eagerly as they do corn. Stock 

 of all kinds eat them. No humbug whatever, but 

 the greatest blessing of the age. 



This cotton is planted and cultivated as other 

 cotton. In harvesting the burr is pulled and 

 threshed as peas. The threshing aud gathering is 

 very rapid work. 



I sell seed this season at one dollar per package. 

 Am filling orders every day. and will continue as 

 long as seed lasts. Each iiackage will make enough 

 seed after one planting to plant 10 acres 3x3. Care 

 should be taken to plant these seed where no other 

 cotton previously grew, then you will have no vol- 

 unteer lint cotton stalks among it. 



This seed will not mix with any other seed. 



Can refer to the best men in mj' county.
