STECKLER SEED CO., l.TD., ALMANAC AND 



World*s Wooder Cottoxii. 



This Cotton has been exploited by Memphis for the past several 

 years, and named by them the "World's Wonder." Large amonnts 

 of it have been sold at fabulous prices, namely $10.00 a bushel, 

 throughout Louisiana and Mississippi. As there is no patent right on 

 seed we secured last year's World's Wonder seed and from our crop, 

 this year we offer it to our customers at greatly reduced prices. The 

 originators of this cotton have actually sold large amounts of it in 

 pound lots — showing their confidence in the seed as regards quality 

 and outturn. World's Wonder is an exceedingly prolific cotton, is 

 semi-cluster and heavily fruited with small bolls. The plant is ex- 

 ceedingly tall, well shaped with long base limbs and exceedingly 

 short upper limbs — in fact, there are very fev.', if any, limbs toward 

 the apex of the plant. Bolls are small, 92 averaging one pound of 

 seed cotton. The bolls are abruptly pointed and more frequently con- 

 tain 5 locks than 4 lochs. Seed are fuzzy, mostly brownish white and 

 greenish white. It is an early cotton, but not so early as King, for 

 example. 35c. per pound, postpaid.

Delicate blush with pink margin. Very large, open, wavy form of 

 the best Countess Spencer type with long stems and four blossoms to

 form, the plants will stop flowering. To be successful in growing 

 Sweet Peas, the soil should be thoroughly pulverized and enriched 

 with well rotted manure, cover seeds 2 inches deep, and water each 

 day at sundown. Price per package 25c.
