A Short-Staple Foster 
Where an EARLY, SMALL GROWING, 
QUICK MATURING cotton is needed, this 
strain is very desirable. It stood AT TOP in 
yield of all varieties we tested in 1930 and in 
1931 took second place in test with 20 other 
cottons. In the Pee Dee Experiment Station 
variety tests at Florence, S. C., it led all 
varieties tested in yield of seed cotton per 
acre for years 1933 and 1934. It’s a Top 
Yielder. 
It has given 36% lint yield at the gin and 
produces nice, round bolls— 70 per lb. of 
seed cotton. Staple length is 1 1/16 inch full. 
The light foliage of this cotton is very 
desirable and operates to give higher yields 
under adverse weather or boll weevil con¬ 
ditions.

STRAIN 7 
OUR NEW STRAIN OFFERED FOR FIRST 
TIME THIS SEASON 
A Cotton With Special Adaptation 
1. To rich land. 
2. To coastal plain sections. 
(1) Because of its Extremely Light Foliage and open 
type better suited to rich lands. Will set'and mature 
a good crop in spite of large growth 
(2) In coastal plain sections where rainfall is more ex¬ 
cessive and Boll Weevil damage more prevalent 
this cotton excells. Its foliage admits sunshine to 
lessen Boll Weevil attack and prevents boll rot. 
Its Yield—150 lbs. seed cotton per acre better than 
Strain 6 (average 1933-34-35). 
Lint Percentage, Staple, Boll size, and Earliness same as 
Strain 6.
