SUMMEROUR'S HALF AND HALF 
Direct from the originator in his own printed bags— 
every bag already treated with 2% Ceresan. 
So many requests came to us from our customers for 
the originator’s seed that in 1936 we put it in stock, 
and in spite of its high price we had orders for over 
three thousand bushels—more than we could supply. 
We will therefore stock it again this year. Order early 
so you won’t be disappointed; we sold out last year 
before season had half started. 
Here is Mr. Summerour’s brief description: 
“It has a strong, vigorous stalk, with medium size 
leaves and many fruit limbs which begin to fruit early 
and rapidly. It opens as early as the earliest types. 
The bolls are medium size, mostly five lock, averaging 
from fifty-five to sixty per pound. Most of the bolls 
are round like a ball. The seed are very small and 
will plant a great deal more per bushel than most other 
varieties. It is a hardy cotton; stands the cold spring 
better than the average cotton, and on account of its 
extra-rooting system, its drouth-resistant qualities are 
remarkable.” 
Mr. Summer our sent us a few of his late gin records:

Summerour’s Half and Half 
SUMMEROUR'S HI-BRED 
Direct from the originator in his own printed bags— 
every bag already treated with 2% Ceresan. 
We have a very limited amount only of Mr. Sum¬ 
merour’s New Hi-Bred Cotton Seed. The same general 
excellence as his Half and Half. 
Field Our Arkansas Grown Half and Half 
HALF AND HALF 
(Ginned on Private Gin) 
Just what we have been trying to obtain so long— 
pure Half and Half, privately ginned, that we could sell 
at reasonable price. A big plantation company in 
Arkansas planted their entire crop the past Spring in 
Summerour’s Half and Half seed direct from the origi¬ 
nator in Georgia, have their own gin, and ginned for 
no outside people. By the way, the seed for the entire 
plantation were treated with 2% Ceresan, with such 
splendid results that they say they never expect to 
plant a row of cotton without treating the seed with 
2% Ceresan. The reason—freedom from all the various 
fungus and other plant diseases that damage cotton 
every year, causing plants to shrivel and die, conse¬ 
quently poor stands and poor yields. Ceresan treat¬ 
ment brought almost a perfect stand and a truly won¬ 
derful crop. 
Half and Half is probably the most “cussed out” cot¬ 
ton known. Experiment stations over here do not 
recommend it and cotton mills claim it is too short 
to be desirable. In spite of this, farmers demand this 
variety in hill sections, and make a good living out ot 
it year after year. They receive almost as much per 
pound for the lint as for other short cottons, and a 
whole lot bigger turn-out at the gin. The originator 
claims from 45% to 50% lint. 
The seed are uniform in size and color and free from 
the little black lintless seed that are so prevalent and so 
troublesome in the usual Half and Half ginned on pub¬ 
lic gins. We are proud to offer these privately ginned 
seed.
