D. I*. C. IV©. 1 ] Cotton 
Our grower in the Delta, averaged over 1 hales per acre on his 
entire crop of about 1200 acres this past year, and on one plot of 
eighty acres, over 2 bales per acre. Think of it! His seed direct 
from the originator. 
This past year D.P.L.-ll made sensational yields almost every¬ 
where, both at the various experiment stations and on farms and 
plantations wherever planted, both in hill sections and in the Mis¬ 
sissippi Delta; add to such outstanding yields in the fields, its large 
lint outturn at the gin, 40 to 42 %, and staple length of 1 inch full 
to 1% 2 on good soil, then you begin to realize why this cotton is 
so popular—it really “pays off.” Vigorous plant, early maturity 
picking qualities good, storm resistance good, quite resistant to wilt’

No. 11-A Cotton 
(Delinted—Sacked in Orifiinaior’s Itai/s) 
The plantation of the Delta & Pine Land Company of Mississippi, 
at Scott, Mississippi, is in itself the largest cotton plantation in the 
world. 
With this tremendous investment at stake the management early 
realized the necessity of not only having the best and most efficient 
equipment tha,t money could buy. the most experienced and highest 
trained men money could hire, but that it was absolutely essential 
the most productive and perfect type of cotton should be planted. 
D. 1*. L. IV©. 10 Colton 
The grower of our D.P.L. No. 10 cotton seed picked and ginned 
on average of slightly over 114 bales of lint cotton per acre on his 
entire plantation of about one thousand acres for 1934, 1935 and 
1936. No wonder he has stuck to this variety, bought direct from 
originators. 
D.P.L. 10 has a vigorous 
and spreading plant, very re¬ 
sistant to wilt, 36 to 38% 
outturn at the gin, lint length 
1 to 1 1 ;« inches, bolls large, 65 
to 75 to the pound; early ma¬ 
turing, picking qualities excel¬ 
lent, storm resistance good. 
Very resistant to wilt. 
Stoneville 
4-A Colton 
Our seed of this variety from 
one of the best known grow¬ 
ers in the Delta section of Ar¬ 
kansas—one of the organizers 
and a former President of the 
Arkansas Pure Seed Growers’ 
Assn. His entire plantation is 
planted to this variety, h i s 
seed coming direct from the 
originator. Our growers crop 
lived up to the claims made for 
this strain by the originator 
as an outstanding extra early, 
big boll cotton for very fertile 
soil, making about the biggest 
yield the plantation h a s yet 
produced. 
A dwarfy, rather spreading 
plant, extra big, round boll, 50 
to 60 to the pound; very pro¬ 
lific yielder, with lint outturn 
of 35 to 38 on hill land; 33 to 
35 on valley land, staple of 
1 inch to 1%2 inch on good 
soil, storm proofness excellent, 
foliage medium, resistant to 
wilt. Very popular in North 
half of Arkansas and South¬ 
east Missouri. Enormous yields 
have been obtained on uplands, 
with narrower rows and rea¬ 
sonably thick spacing, and 
some fertilizer if very thin 
soil. 
In order to improve old varieties and if possible to develop supe¬ 
rior new varieties, the Company, twenty years ago. established its 
own Experiment Station on the property a,t Scott, Mississippi, in every 
way comparable with the best Government stations. 
After years of cross breeding and selection, the first distinct va¬ 
riety was produced and acclaimed throughout the entire cotton belt 
as the best cotton of its day. Never satisfied, however, the experts 
of this great Company strive 
each year for something a little 
better. The entire resources of 
its Experiment Department are 
devoted to the exclusive devel¬ 
opment of BETTER COTTON. 
The culmination of twenty 
years of seed breeding is em¬ 
bodied in D.P.L. 11-A, hard 
and wiry staple from I inch 
full to 1%2 inch full when 
grown on better soil; excep¬ 
tional spinning value, c o m - 
mands substantial premiums, 
early, storm proof, disease re¬ 
sistant, medium foliage, mar¬ 
velous lint yield (39 to 44%), 
nice boll, mostly five lock. 
Missdell 1 Codon 
We agree with the originator of the famous Delfos cottons that 
Missdell 4 is the best all around staple cotton yet produced: and 
our strain is an improvement and refinement of the original variety. 
Our grower produced slightly over a bale and a quarter per acre 
for three years straight on 1100 acre plantation. What a, boost 
for pure-bred reed and this variety in particular. 
Type dwarf and hardy, and about the earliest cotton grown —- 
gets off quickest of any on heavy black land, where it averages 34 
to 37% lint percentage and 1% to 1 %8 inches length; on hill land 
36 to 40% outturn and iy 3 2 to 1% 2 inches staple. 
Delpress IVo. 3-33 Cotton 
Our grower of this cotton located in North Mississippi Delta, 
planted an entire place in pedigreed seed of this strain. He wanted 
a wilt-resistant variety, and he got without a doubt the best wilt 
resistant variety known today. 
Delpress is storm resistant, but unlike its Express parent, has 
fine picking qualities, light foliage, open vigorous type, very early 
maturity, 65 to 70 bolls make a pound, lint percentage 33 to 35% 
in Delta. 35 to .38% on hill land. Staple l%e to 1 % hill land; 
1%2 to l s /i6 on Delta soil. Excellent for thin or badly diseased soils, 
and a very high producer. 
Only a limited stock of these seed available.

They will stand more drought 
and abuse and keep right on 
growing and fruiting than any 
other cotton in existence. 
Stoneville 
No. 3 Cotton 
Our grower of this variety 
owns one of the big planta¬ 
tions in North Mississippi 
Delta—planted a car of pedi¬ 
greed Stoneville 5 on one en¬ 
tire place. Cutworms took his 
first planting and was very late 
getting crop up to a stand— 
was considerably worried but 
he’s smiling now—Stoneville 5 
produced a splendid crop of 
cotton for him. 
An extra early semi-dwarf 
type, light foliage with large 
lint outturn, 38% to 40%, big 
boll, 70 to 75 per pound, 
length 1142 to 1% 2 , picking 
qualities good, storm resistance excellent, picks easy, produces a good 
strong staple on poorest hill lands. 
Ranks right close to D.P.L. 11, and one of the best cottons for up¬ 
land soil conditions. Splendid for North Arkansas and Missouri, pop¬ 
ular everywhere. 
Delfos 331-A Cotton 
An extra long strain of Delfos for extra fertile soils. In lower 
Delta produced same length as Wilds cotton on same plantation in 
1935, yet very much earlier, therefore, very much safer. Our seed 
produced in Delta section of Mississippi County, Arkansas, from 
pedigreed seed, ginned on private gin—never plant any public ginned 
seed, particularly extra long staple where slightest mixture is fatal. 
Staple length l%e to 1 a inches. 
Only very limited stock of these seed available.

COTTON SEED I’ltICES 
All cotton seed deseribed above are quoted 
in our Cireen Ink List. 
One of the most popular cottons bred by Coker Pedigreed Seed 
Farms in Carolina and has given splendid results in Delta section of 
Arkansas—here’s why: very small stalk, open growing, small leaves 
let the sun in for extra quick maturing. Bolls large, 68 to 70 per 
pound, open wide and fluffy, picking quality good, staple 1 % to 1%* 
inch, very prolific. If your soil grows too much weed, try this cotton. 
Our seed direct from Coker last year, privately ginned—only small 
amount available.
