TEXAS COTTOH SEED. 
^l^HE subscriber offers for sale, Cot- 
ton Seed of very superior quality. The 
original stock was procured in Texas, and culti- 
vated on his plantation in Newton county, for 
the last three years, with extraordinary success. 
The yield is much larger, and the quality superior 
to the Petit Gulph or other kinds of Cotton usu 
ally grown in this section of country. 
Planters who purchase a supply of the seed 
may rely upon sufficient increase in product of 
the first crop to refund the outlay for seed. 
Planters who take an interest in improvements 
of this sort, are referred to the annexed certifi- 
cates, and the Cotton raised from the seed may 
be seen at lh& warehouses of Adams & Hop'fins 
and Clark & Roberts.

Dear Sir — I regret it was not in my power yes- 
terday, when I saw you, to give you any opinion 
with regard to a small lot of cotton I have grow- 
ing from seed presented to me last spring by my 
friend John W. Graves, Esq. Since then, how- 
ever, 1 have been to my plantation and made com- 
parison of it with my crop of cotton, and now 
rake pleasure in saying to yon, it is a superior ar- 
ticle in point of fineness and length of fibre, con- 
taining more lint on the seed, and will yield much 
more from the same quantity of land planted. 
1 am respectfully, dear sir. 
Your obedient servant, 
[Signed) Wm. Johnston. 
Georgia, Newton County: 
I hereby certify that 1 obtained from John W. 
Graves, of this county, a sack of Cotton Seed, 
(which he represented of superior quality intro* 
duced from Texas,) which I planted last spring, 
and find to exceed my most sanguine expectation. 
I planted it two or three weeks after my other 
cotton, (which is the Petit Gulph,) and notwith- 
standing the season was dry and unfavorable 
throughout the year, (the growing season) yet it 
is by far the best cotton I ever made. I think by 
the time it is all gathered, the best part will yield 
2000 to 2500 pounds per acre. My neighbors who 
have seen it are of the same opinion. From the 
trial I have made, I believe it will yield double as 
much as my other cotton on land of the same fer- 
tility. [Signed] Jackson Harwell. 
24th October, 1844. 
Georgia, Morgan County; 
This is to certify that I am neighbor to JohnT 
McNeil, Esq., and that he last spring got a load 
of Texas Cotton Seed from John W. Graves, 
Esq., of Newton county, and planted them on 
what I consider average land of his farm ; and 
from frequent observation of the crop, with his 
other cotton, (which is the Petit Gulph,) I do be- 
lieve it will far excel any other cotton I have ever 
seen raised in this section of country. And I 
also believe that the staple excels any other I 
have ever examined, as to fineness and color. 
[(Signed] John P. Evans. 
This will certify that I acted as overseer for 
Mr. J ohn T. McNeil for the year 1 844. My know- 
ledge of farming induces me to believe that the 
Texas Cotton, raised by Mr. McNeil this year, is 
a very superior article, and with me preferable to 
any other cotton I have ever raised. It is of long 
and fine staple, and well boiled, and easily picked 
out, and has withstood a drought this year belter 
than the Petit Gulph Cotton. It is, in a word, a 
valuable cotton. I have ginned eight bales of the 
Texas Cotton on Mr. McNeil’s Carver.. Gin, and 
find that it yields one pound of clear < ifton from 
three of seed cotton ; and from my experience of 
thirty years in cotton growing, I have never rais- 
ed any I think equal to the Texas Cotton. 
[(Signed] Allison Kent. 
Augusta, October 30, 1844. 
John W. Graves, Esq.: 
Dear Sir — Having been called on by you to 
make a statement in relation to your Texas Cot- 
ton, we take pleasure in saying, that for the last 
tv/o or three years we have received at our ware- 
house your cotton crops. The quality has inva- 
riably proved very superior, both as to color and 
length of staple. On sale, it has always brought 
the highest market price. We consider it a very 
superior article in the cotton line. 
Your obedient servants, 
Adams & Hopkins. 
Mr. John T. McNeil : 
Dear Sir — We hav’e received the two bales of 
Texas Cotton sent by you to us, and take pleas- 
ure in saying that in color and length of staple it 
is superior to anything we have seen ; and cheer- 
fully recommend it as such as will always bring 
the highest market price. 
Your obedient servants.
