“HUMCO” DELFOS-6102-38 
STRAIN 3 
IT HAS FIVE SUPERIOR QUALITIES 
1. HIGH YIELD: It has a record of 130 lbs. Seed 
Cotton per acre more than its parent strain. 
2. BOLL SIZE: This strain carries 67 bolls per lb. 
of seed cotton, which is large for Delfos cotton. The 
bolls of this cotton HARDEN QUICKLY and this 
lessens Weevil Damage. 
3. LIGHT FOLIAGE: The average Leaf Area of 
this strain is only 6.3 square inches as compared with 
8.5 square inches average for the lightest foliage Cleve¬ 
land Big Boll strain now offered. THIS IS VERY 
IMPORTANT, since, at least 1/3 more SUNLIGHT 
gets to the bolls (to harden them quickly, to keep them 
from decaying before opening, and to make conditions 
unfavorable for the Boll Weevil). 
4. EARLINESS: Our 
strains of Delfos-38 have 
been exceptionally early, 
as shown by our Bloom 
Counts each year. This 
strain shows the Highest 
Blooming record to Au¬ 
gust 1st of any Full 1 3/16 
inch strain of Delfos we 
have yet offered. NONE 
BETTER. 
5. STAPLE (Length, 
Percentage and Quality): 
Delfos—6102-38, Strain 3, 
has Full 1 3/16 inch staple, 
turns out 34% lint (includ¬ 
ing bagging and ties), and 
in quality of fibre it has 
shown up exceptionally 
well. Many buyers have 
commented on the fine 
BODY and CHARAC¬ 
TER of its staple.
