Arkansas Rowden 5056 
This strain developed by Arkansas Experiment Station and was 
outstanding among all the strains tested, leading all strains in yield 
per acre and leading all in earliness. No wonder it is so much liked 
and so highly recommended. 
Turnout at the gin 36 to 86 percent, extra big boll 64 to pound, 
length about 1 inch to 1 1/16 inch. Big round bolls make the easiest 
picking of all cottons, yet extremely storm-proof. Extremely wilt- 
resistant, a quality much desired and needed more and more each 
year. 
Our seed produced in Mississippi County, Arkansas, rich delta soil; 
grown from Arkansas Experiment Station seed, privately ginned— 
beautiful big white seed. 
Coker's 100 
In the language of the street there can be said of Mr. Coker: “He’s 
really got something there.” Coker writes: “The best producer for 
rich or highly fertilized land that we have ever offered. Don’t plant 
it on wilt or light sandy soils, but on fertile soil. It makes extra 
early in fruiting and opening, very small weed, small leaves, well 
spaced, spreading type with long fruiting branches. Staple 1 1/16 
inch to 1 1/8 inch; 36 to 37 percent lint turnout, strong, fine fibered 
and uniform.” 
In 1936 (its first year out) 1136 acres in Mississippi delta prodcued 
1336, 600-lb. bales, and the entire crop sold for 200 points on. Amaz¬ 
ing yields were made this past year, 1937. 
Delfos 531-A Cotton 
An extra long strain of Delfos, 1 3/16 to 1 6/16 inch staple, very 
uniform, which is most important in extra long staples, which mix¬ 
ture is fatal. Early in maturity, bolls 76 to 80 to pound, picking 
qualities good, lint percentage 33 to 35, plant medium, vigorous and 
spreading. 
Missdell 4 Cotton 
We agree with the originator of the famous Delfos cottons that 
Missdel 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 3 years straight on 1100-acre plantation. What a boost for pure¬ 
bred seed 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 percent lint percentage and 1 1/8 to 1 3/16 inches length; on 
hill land 36 to 40 percent outturn and 1 1/32 to 1 3/32 inches staple. 
Stoneyille 4-A Cotton 
A dwarfy, rather spreading plant, extra big, round boll, 60 to 60 
to the pound; very prolific yielder, with lint outturn of 35 to 38 on 
hill land; 33 to 36 on valley land, staple of 1 inch to 1 3/32 inch on 
good soil, storm proofness excellent, foliage medium, resistant to 
wilt. Very popular in north half of Arkansas and southeast Mis¬ 
souri. Enormous yields have been obtained on uplands, with narrower 
rows and reasonably thick spacing, and some fertilizer if very thin 
soil. 
"Aero" Cyanamid 
is the ideal fertilizer for your cotton.- It will increase your yields. 
It is a concentrated fertilizer material, containing 21 percent nitrogen 
and 70 percent hydrated lime. In other words, 1 ton of AERO Cya- 
anamid supplies 420 pounds of nitrogen and 1,400 pounds of hydrated 
lime. Prices on request. 
Missdel No. A Cotton 
Stoneville No. 5 Cotton 
Stoneviile No. 5 Cotton 
An extra early semi-dwarf type, light foliage with large lint out¬ 
turn, 38 to 40 percent; big boll, 70 to 75 per pound; length, 11/32 
to 1 3/32, 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 
upland soil conditions. Splendid for North Arkansas and Missouri, 
popular everywhere. 
Roldo Rowden 
This strain developed by Mr. Robt. L. Dortch of Arkansas, and 
he has reached a high state of perfection. This strain combines 
extreme earliness for Rowden cottons with very high productivity 
in the field—the 2 main points in any cotton. Bolls extra big, 60 
to 65 to pound, very easily picked, storm resistant and wilt resistant, 
staple 1 inch to 1 1/16 lint percentage, 34 to 36 percent. 
Rowden cotton originally came from Texas—now Texas is im¬ 
porting thousands of bushels of Roldo Rowden from Arkansas— 
mighty good proof of its excellence. 
Wild's No. 8 Extra Long Staple 
Bred by the famous Coker Pedigreed Seed Farms in South Caro¬ 
lina who writes: “Coker’s Wilds 8 in our opinion is the longest and 
best upland staple cotton ever bred.” Dwarf plant, open thin foliage; 
the earliest of all Wild’s cottons, looks and grows like short cotton. 
Large bolls 60 to 67 to pound, open wide, fluff beautifully, yet storm 
resistant. Note gin turnout 33 to 35 percent, and yet 1%- to 1%- 
inch staple—uniform, strong, silky, so good that it is being used as a 
substitute for Egyptian cotton. 
Our grower averaged over a bale per acre on 800 acres last year— 
got over 18c per pound for strict middling—10c per pound premium.

Summerour's Half and Half 
Direct from the originator in his own printed bags—every bag 
already treated with 2 percent Ceresan. 
So many requests came to us from our customers for the origina¬ 
tor’s seed that in 1936 we put it in stock, and in spite of its high 
price we had orders for over 3,000 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 55 to 60 per pound. Most of the bolls are round like 
a ball. The seeds 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 drought-resistant qualities are remarkable.” 
Gin turnout 46 to 52 percent. 
2% Ceresan 
Dusting cotton seed with 2 percent Ceresan increases the yield. 
It makes working acres out of loafing acres. 
This treatment costs less than having your seed delinted; is more 
effective in getting a better stand besides destroying diseases. You 
certainly cannot afford to miss dusting your cotton seed with 2 per¬ 
cent Ceresan this spring. 
1 lb. treats 5 bushels, 70c; 5-lb. tin, $3.00. By mail, 1 lb., 80c; 
6 lbs., $3.20.
