Steckler's Cotton Seed 



Selected Varieties 



Planting tim6, March and April. One bushel is required to plant one acre. 

 Thoroughly break and prepare the ground early. Rows shoitd be SV^ 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 prevents it from losing its forms. 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 Weevils. These are all good 

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

 leges and Experiment Stations of the Southern States.
