Steckler's Cotton Seed 



Selected Varieties 



Planting time, March and April. One bushel is required to plant one acre. 

 Thoroughly break and prepare the ground early. Rows should be Sy 2 to 4 feet apart 

 and hills about 12 to 14 inches apart in the row. When the cotton comes up it 

 should be off-barred deep while it is small in order to let the heat of the sun strike 

 the beds. As the plants get larger, shallow down and towards the last, cultivate very 

 shallow. Always keep the top crust of the ground broken in dry weather, as it pre- 

 vents it from losing its form. Never stop plowing for wet weather until the ground 

 turns in slices ; then quit immediately until it dries off. Never lay-by until the 

 middle of August. The first week in April has been found to be the best time for 

 planting cotton. 



NOTE: — All of our Cotton Seed is free from Boll Weevil. These are all good 

 varieties which have been thoroughly tested and recommended by Agricultural Col- 

 leges and Experiment Stations of the Southern States.

360. WANNAMAKER-CLEVELAND BIG BOLL. A short cotton usually about an inch cotton, and probably the 

 best of all the inch cottons. It seems to do well on both hill and bottom lands, and produces a real crop 

 everywhere. Early maturity, big boll, medium foliage, big out-turn at the gin, 36 to 39 per cent, easy to 

 pick, very prolific in the field.

 B61. HALF AND HALF. A very short cotton about three-fourths to seven-eighths inches and for that reason much 

 criticised by cotton men. But, it is one of the popular cottons nevertheless because it turns out at the gin heavier 

 than any other cotton, 40 to 45 per cent, and it has shown as high as 48 per cent. Bigger out-turns from ridge 

 land than bottom soils naturally early. 

 Prices: 1 lb. 30c, postpaid. Not prepaid (peck, 7Y 2 lbs.) 75c; bushel, (30 lbs.) $2.25.
