Delfos 719 is a BIG BOLL DELFOS 6102 STRAIN THAT WILL PRODUCE. This is, we think, one of 
the most promising Delfos cotton we have yet produced. In plant type it is similar to Delfos 6102, has a slightly 
larger leaf, is early maturing, and very productive for a big boll cotton. In fact, it is the first really big boll 
Delfos strain that we have tested that will produce as much cotton as the smaller boll strains. The bolls are large, 
round in shape, and open well. It is just the type of boll that is necessary for a good picking cotton. 
For manv years we have had calls for a big boll Delfos cotton and we now have it in Delfos 719. 
AT LAST, A BIG ROUND BOLL DELFOS COTTON.
