DELFOS 531-A 
i 
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 earlici, 
therefore, very much safer. Our seed produced in 
Delta section of Mississippi County, Arkansas, tiom 
pedigreed seed, ginned on private gin—never plant an> 
public ginned seed, particularly extra long staple win 
slightest mixture is fatal. 
Only very limited stock of these seed available. 
DELPRESS No. 3-35 
Our grower of this cotton located in North Missis¬ 
sippi 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 toliage, 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 1 1/16 to 1 % hill land, 1 5/32 to 
1 3/16 on Delta soil. Excellent for thin or badly dis¬ 
eased soils, and a very high producer. 
Only a limited stock of these seed available.
