HENDERSON'S 

 ....SUPERIOR 



Cotton 



ESPECIALLY RIPENED, 

 Harvested and Selected 

 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. 



URLAINID VARIETIES. 



ALLEN'S SILK LONG STAPLE. A long staple variety of 

 great merit, and headed the list until the introduction of Cook's 

 famous new variety. It is a good cropper and the quality of the 

 lint is only excelled by The Cooli and Sea Island. 

 14c. per lb. ; 100 lbs.. 10c. per lb. ; 1,000 lbs., 8c. per lb. 



BOHEMIAN. This is a big boll storm-proof 

 variety with a very fine staple. The bolls 

 are easily gathered on account of thpir 

 immense size. The plant is very thrifty 

 and averages more Cotton per acre 

 than any other variety. 14c. per lb 

 100 lbs., 10c. per lb. ; 1,000 lbs., 8c. 

 per lb. 



COOK'S SILK LONG 

 STAPLE. A selection 

 of Upland Cotton, surpassing 

 all others for fineness and 

 length of staple, and is sure 

 to prove of inestimable val- 

 ue to any country desiring 

 to bring their cotton product 

 up to the highest standard of 

 quality. The Cook Cotton 

 has invariably brought dou- 

 ble the market price and 

 found ready buyers, and we 

 would here call particular 

 attention to the fact that the 

 higher the grade of long 

 staple Cotton, the greater 

 is the premium it vsrili bring 

 over and above the ordi- 

 nary run. In other words, 

 while the staple itself com- 

 mands a certain premium, 

 the increase in premium is 

 very much greater as the 

 quality or grade of the 

 Cotton improves. 14c. per 

 lb.; 100 lbs., 10c. per lb.; 

 1,000 lbs., 8c. per lb. 



DOUGHTY'S LONG 

 STAPLE. An excellent 

 long stapled variety, the sta- 

 ple often attaining a length 

 of one and three-quarter 

 inches. The stalk is long- 

 limbed and branching, 

 yields a heavy crop and 

 produces a high percentage 

 of lint of the finest quality. 

 14c. per lb.; 100 lbs., 10c. 

 per lb. ; 1.000 lbs., 8c. per lb. 



EXCELSIOR PROLIFIC. An immensely prolific variety, 

 large bolls, small seed with a superior lint and staple, Clusters 

 well round the stalk, with only a few limbs near the bottom. 

 Withstands drought bettpr than any other variety, 14c. per lb. ; 

 100 lbs., 10c. per lb. ; 1,000 lbs., 8c. per lb. 



GRIFFIN'S IMPROVED. A long and fine staple, the latter 

 often one and a half to two inches long, and the fibre is very 

 strong. For an Upland long staple it is extremely early, and caii 

 be planted from 10 to 15 days earlier than most varie- 

 ties. 12c. per lb. ; 100 lbs., 8c. per lb.; 1.000 lbs., 

 7c. per lb. 



HAWKIN'S PROLIFIC. A strong- 

 growing variety ; yields a large crop of 

 good quality and is well adapted for 

 growing on hilly lands. l'2c. perlb.; 

 100 lbs., 8c. per lb.; 1,000 lbs., 7c. 

 per lb. 



KINGS IMPROVED. A 

 strong-growing variety which 

 yields wonderful crops. Be- 

 ing of a rugged and strong 

 constitution, it is of the easi- 

 est culture and should be in- 

 cluded in all experimental 

 collections. The staple is 

 of good quality though not 

 quite so fine as some other 

 varieties, but the intro- 

 ducer claims that this is 

 more than overcome by thi^ 

 enormous crops which it 

 yields. 12e. per lb.; lOU 

 lbs., 8c perlb.; 1,000 Ibb., 

 7c. perlb. 



PETERKIN IM- 

 PROVED. A favorite va- 

 riety, fruiting continually 

 throughout the season and 

 producing a large yield of 

 gootl quality. 12c. per lb.; 

 100 lbs., 8c. per lb. ; 1,000 

 lbs., 7c. per lb. 



RUSSELL S BIG BOLL. 

 A most reliable varietj', me- 

 dium early and very heavy. 

 A fine type of big boll, 

 highly recommended for the 

 excellent quality of its lint. 

 12c. per lb.; 100 lbs., 8c. per 

 lb. ; 1.000 lbs.. 7c. per lb. 



SHINE'S EARLY PRO- 

 LIFIC. One of the earliest 

 Cottons, and can be grown 

 farther north than any other. 

 It bears well, but the staple 

 is only medium. Its great 

 merit, however, is its ex- 

 treme earliness. (See cut.) 

 1.5c. per lb.; 100 lbs., 12e. per lb. ; 1,000 lbs., 10c. per lb. 



TRUITT'S BIG BOLL. This is a distinct variety, with big 

 seeds and big bolls, making gathering easy. It is largely grown 

 by some of the most scientific farmers in Georgia. 12c. per 

 lb.; 100 lbs., 8c. per lb. ; 1,000 lbs., 7c. per lb. 



SEA ISLAND COTTOIN. 



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., 7c. per lb. ; 1,000 lbs., 6e. per lb. 



We can also supply and on application quote cheaper grades of the above or any other variety.
