HENDERSON’S Ce ESPECIALLY RIPENED, 
SUPERIOR , f [ © NJ EEL). 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 Seannnie 
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. |

yields wonderful crops. Be- 
ing of a rugged and strong 
constitution, itis of the easi-

collections. The staple is 
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 will 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

SEA ISLAND COTTON. 
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. ie
