so compact as other 6102 strains, longer 
jointed. MATURITY—Early. 
Delfos 89 is the latest strain of Delfos which we have developed amd increased to commercial quantity. It 
is bfing offered to the public this season, for the first time. Delfos 89 is a selection from 6102, tho different from 
the original strain in several respects. The plant is more vigorous and open, and not as close jointed. It is not so 
uniform, having more tendency to produce occasional tall rangy plants. The leaf is slightly larger. The bolls are 
large for 6102, with a marked tendency toi be long. Yet they open well and are not hard to pick. 
This strain has been selected especially for length and quality of staples. It produces a better staple than any 
other Delfos we have tested, and a staple of excellent quality. The lint percentage and yield are excellent for a 
cotton of this) length. Earliness has not been sacrificed. 
If you are looking for a long cotton that will yield and that is safe to plant any season, plant Delfos 89. 
DELFOS 531-A 
PLANT TYPE—Medium vigorous and spreading. 
MATURITY—Early. 
BOLL SIZE—75 to 80. 
PICKING QUALITIES—Good. 
LINT PERCENTAGE—33 to 35. 
LINT LENGTH—1 3-16 to 7-32. 
FOLIAGE—Light. 
This is a new strain of 6102 Delfos, bred from 531. Its advantages over 531 are, its uniformity, better lint 
percentage and longer staple length. Delfos 531, being now several years from the original plant selection naurally 
Is throwing off some off-type plants. The 531-A, being much closer to the original selected plant, is much more 
uniform. 531-A in our tests, has given better lint percentage and length, and is a better producer than 531. We 
know of no other cotton that will equal 531-A, in all these qualities. It is truly a WINNER.
