Cotto]7 Seed. 



THE HERLONG. 



This is one of the best varieties of cotton to be planted; it is very 

 early, extremely prolific, more so than any other I have tried on my 

 plantation. It has an advantage over the Peterkin in wet seasons; when 

 there is plenty of rain it does not wash out like some other kinds. Staple 

 only ordinary, bat quantity will make up for quality. 



Price, per bushel, $1.50; 5 bushels and over at $1.25. 



PETERKIN'S IMPROVED. 



This is a vigorous grower, a good producer, stands the drought bet- 

 ter than common seed ; in general yield it equals the best prolific varieties 

 known. It has a good staple, large bolls and small seed. 



Price, per bushel, $1.50; 5 bushels and over (a) $1.25. 



HAWKIN'S PROLIFIC. 



The originator claims for this cotton: tall growth, widely branching 

 and vigorous, fruiting heavily from the bottom. It is the earliest, most 

 prolific, easiest picked, most superior lint and finest staple, long tap root 

 resisting drouth ; from two to four limbs near the surface, branching: 

 two short limbs together all the way up the top, all covered with bolls; 

 large bolls, small seed, yielding from thirty-eight to forty per cent lint; 

 opens well, growing much taller than other varieties, every advantage 

 over other kinds in yield per acre. With judicious manuring, quick and 

 rapid culture up to fruiting time, cotton will grow an excellent yield, 

 planted in Hawkins seed. I have had this kind tried this past season; 

 but it did not do any better than the Peterkin. 



Price, $1.50 per bushel, five bushels (a) $1.25. 



This is an early kind, very prolific, grows perfectly erect and does 

 not spread on the ground like other varieties. They can be easily culti- 

 vated w^ith the plow. In harvesting they are easily gathered, as all the 

 peas hang close to the roots. They mature in about three or four months. 

 The stems, when harvested, make a very good quality of. hay. The fruit 

 i.s smaller than the Virginia and other varieties; is very sweet and pods 

 fill out well. Can be planted close in the row and drill, yields heavily 

 I)er acre. A very good feed for fattening hogs. 



Price, per lb., 20c,; by mail, postpaid, 30c.; per peck, 50c. 



Have also the White Virginia and I^ed Tennessee Peanuts in stock. 

 They are larger in size than the Spanish kind. They are of a spreading 

 habit, and are cultivated in ridges like sweet potatoes. 



Price of White Virginia is 12c. per lb. 



Price of Red Tennessee is 10c. per lb. ; if by mail, 8c. per lb. extra 

 must be added.
