QUALITY OF GRASS AND CLOVER SEED. — No class of seed is more subject to manipulation and adulteration 
than grass and clover. These, according to the different markets, are graded in from 3 to 5 grades, from the 
highest to the lowest and poorest. A difference of $2.00 per bushel is sometimes found between the high and 
low grades of clover. In our business, we are handling nothing but the highest grades of grass and clover 
seed. This is higher priced than the grades usually sold in Atlanta. We cannot always compete in price with 
these low grade seeds ; at the same time we wish to state that when your crop is considered, our seed at double 
our prices is cheaper than the low grade seed at the lower price. With us you get all grass cfr all clover, as the 
case may be. With the low grades you are liable to get almost anything in the way of foreign grasses and weec s. 
We are always glad to have you come and inspect our seeds in comparison with the stocks of other dealers. 
We know what our grass and clover seeds are. They will give you entire satisfaction. We are at all times 
ready to advise as to the best grasses and clovers for different soils. Our knowledge is at yi>ur service any 
time.

CHOICEST SELECTED COTTON SEED. 
We make a specialty of the choicest select cotton seed, of new and improved varieties. By the use of this 
selec ed seed you can increase your yiel 1 50 to 100 percent, over crops grown from the usual run of seed planted. 
We advocate the use of these improved varieties because it is profitable to the planter. We especially recom- 
mend 1 1 growers in this section Russell’s Big Boll and Texas Burr cotton. These two varieties lead in this 
section and they are

who will take them and use them rightly. It is wise to experiment with new varieties. Cotton varies largely 
in its adaptability and the only way to find out what is best for your farm is to try it by actual growth. Remem- 
ber, also, that it always pays to plant the best seed obtainable, and we have none but the best. 
Russell’s Big Boll— Our most popular variety. A 
very heavy yielder, under good cultivation making 
one to two bales per acre, according to richness of the 
soil. Bolls of mammoth size, always containing 5 
locks, firmly set in boll. Staple immensely long. 
V igorous grower, tall and large, with an abundance 
of large limbs near the ground ; roots deeply and 
withstands drought well. A mid-season ripener. We 
have watched its growth for the past three years near 
Atlanta and for heavy yields, under adverse condi- 
tions, it has excelled all others. Peck, 40 cents ; bushel, 
$1.00. Special prices on larger quantities. 
Texas Burr Cotton— Those who have grown this 
variety near Atlanta are very enthusiastic over it. It 
appears to be thoroughly adapted to this section. 
Stalks of medium size, well balanced and heavy 
fruited. Bolls extra large, open freely and wide, and 
cotton is easily picked. Yields 35 to 40 per cent, lint, 
according to the Georgia Experiment Station. In 
maturity it is nearly as early as King’s, but a much 
heavier yielder. Bolls as large as Russell’s Big Boll. 
Stalks well bunched; while the bolls open wide and is 
easily picked, yet it does not drop or blow out easily, 
as do many varieties. Staple of good length and will 
bring top price in the market if rightly handled. 
Peck, 40 cents ; bushel, $1.00. Special prices on large 
quantities.
