ohes FOR SEED PURPOSES. 
In offering the following varieties of Cotton, we desire to call attention to the fact that all have been ripened and harvested for 
seed purposes, carefully selected and kept true to name. The value of the crop very largely depends on uniformity of the staple, 
and for export we advise that selected seed be used. The large quantities of seed which come from the public mills are invariably 
more or less mixed and should never be used for seed purposes. The sorts we offer have all been tested at the government experiment 
stations and have been highly reported upon, as possessing all the essential qualities of really good Cottons.

SEA ISLAND COTTON. 
The Sea Island is quite distinct from all the Upland varieties. When the conditions are right it produces the finest quality of 
Cotton known and commands a much higher price than the Upland varieties; even Cook’s new variety falls short several cents per lb. 
It reaches its greatest perfection when grown on the small islands on the Atlantic Coast, from Florida to Virginia, though it can be 
successfully grown on the low-lying seacoast of the mainland. Grown further inland, it rapidly deteriorates in quality and yield, and 
soon becomes unprofitable, and it should therefore always be sown near the seacoast. Where the conditions are right the Sea Island 
should be grown to the exclusion of the Upland varieties. 
Sea Island Cotton: Price, extra selected, 10c. per lb.; 100 lbs., 6c. per 1b. ; 1,000 lbs., 5c. per lb. 
We can also supply and on application quote cheaper grades of the above or any other variety.
