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 3% 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 
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- 
Delfos Colton leges and Experiment Stations of the Southern States.
