del-stand what they were getting. I have the word of a friend 

 who planted Money Bush, that it was also the same cotton. 



I put the question to any man how would you like to buy, 

 at one, or two, or three, or five dollars per bushel, the same 

 seed, from two or three gentlemen, under different names, 

 each one declaring their cotton to be " the best in the world ?" 

 You would not like it, of course. Then act squarely to all 

 men ; call your seed right, and ask any price you please.

SECTION X. VARIETIES OF COTTOX SEED. 



MR. EDITOR : Last spring I received a lot, say about one 

 hundred cotton seed, from G. W. Mabry, of Vernon. Mississippi, 

 called Multiflora. I planted them myself, and gave them two 

 workings. The product was so good that I saved all the seed. 

 The growth I conceived similar in all respects to the Cluster 

 or Hogan, &c., &c., yet the seed were all white. I learnt 

 they were procured from Carroll. This season I saw a gen- 

 tleman from thence, who had seed to sell. I inquired as to 

 the history, and traced them through the same Carroll County 

 source, to H. W. Prout, and have therefore pronounced them 

 identical with the Cluster. My friend, G. W. M., says I am 

 in error, as these seeds remain white, but the Cluster will in 

 three or four years run into green. I state this, that all sides 

 may have a hearing. I have received this season as a present : 



Royal Cluster, from R. TV. Harris, Greensboro', Alabama. 



Golden Chan , from G. TV. Summerville, Hope, Alabama. 



Multiflora, from TV. TV. TVhitehead, Middleton, Miss. 



Seed, second year from Mexico, from Jas. E. Harrison, 

 Aberdeen, Miss. 



Seed from Texas, I think, from " Hinds," Cayuga, Miss.
