COTTON 
We can also supply Certified Seed of Trice and 
Mexican Big Boll. 
We treat Cotton Seed with Ceresan for 10c per 
bushel extra. 
Selected varieties (30 lbs. to bu.). 1 to bushels 
per acre. 
Culture: The cultivation of Cotton varies consider¬ 
ably, of course, according to the locality and soil, but 
in general the ground should be prepared by thorough 
plowing and harrowing, with rows of 40 to 50 inches 
apart, 5 feet being given where the land is unusually 
rich. Seeding is best done with the cotton planter, 
and the young plants should be thinned to about 18 or 
20 inches in the rows; if the ground is very rich, two 
plants may be left in a hill, but otherwise only one. 
rrequent shallow cultivation is necessary to keep 
the surface free from crust, and planting should never 
be done until danger of frost is passed. 
Early Prolific. (Medium Boll). This is a selection 
from the King’s, as a large percentage of the fiowers 
bear the well known red spot of the King’s, but it is 
a full week earlier in maturing. The bolls are also 
larger, and it is a heavier and surer cropper. Pk., 
5Cc; bu., $1.90. Write for prices on larger quantities. 
Early Kins. (Medium Boll). The standard variety 
holds its own against the newer Cottons, many of 
the best of which were bred from it, as evidenced by 
the King’s characteristic red spot in the center of 
the bloom. It is one of the earliest kinds, maturing 
in about ninety days. Pkt., 50c; bu., $1.90. Write for 
prices on larger quantities. 
Trice. (Medium Boll). Although several days later 
than Early King in maturing, this fine Georgia selec¬ 
tion has been making wonderful yields every year 
since its introduction, and competent judges believe 
it to be the best type of Prolific in cultivation. It is 
of rank growth and resists drought better than most 
kinds. Pii., 50c; bu., $1.90. Write for prices on larger 
quantities. 
Mexican Bis: Boll. (Large Boll). One of the best of 
the “big boll” varieties. It is early, the lint is of 
splendid quality, and it has been found to resist 
drought particularly well. Pk., 50c; bu., $1.90. Write 
for prices on larger quantities. 
CROTALARIA spectabilis 
Very heavy yields are obtained from Crotalaria; green weight of 3500 
pounds per acre is not uncommon. A remarkable cover crop and soil 
builder and this is the only purpose of the crop, as it is not recommended 
for livestock. The actual cash value of nitrogen returned to the soil is 
estimated about $20.00 per acre, and besides the humus is of untold value 
increases the water-holding capacity of the soil and prevents erosion. 
Many report the doubling of farm crops when following Crotalaria. It 
succeeds well in all the southern states, can easily be eradicated, and 
will grow on sweet or sour soil. Requires no lime, inoculation, fertiliza¬ 
tion or cultivation. Plant as soon as danger of frost is past for maximum 
growth. Later plantings, however, have shown good results. Plant 10 lbs. 
per acre broadcast, or 6 lbs. if drilled. Our seed is scarified and germ¬ 
inates readily. Lb., 30c; 5 lbs., $1.00; 10 lbs., $1.85. Write for prices on 
larger quantities. 
PEANUTS 
Culture: Peanuts do well on most southern farm land, whether light, 
loamy or even sandy, providing lime is not lacking; for without an 
abundant supply of lime they cannot be successfully grown, 1200 to 1500 
pounds being often put upon an acre, with good results. Soils rich in 
marl, of course, require no liming. Plant in May or early June, the 
dwarf varieties in 2%-foot rows and the running varieties in 3-foot 
rows, dropping one nut every 10 to 12 inches in the row, covering 1 to 
1% inches deep, and the Peanuts should be shelled before planting. 
If large quantities are to be planted, a regular Peanut planter should 
be used. When the vines are started, thorough cultivation must begin, 
and continue until just before the nuts begin to form. Do not cultivate 
too late in the season, as late cultivation is likely to injure the forma¬ 
tion of the nuts. For an acre, from 1 to 2 bushels in the hull, according 
to size. 
Mammoth Virginia Bunch. This is by far the most profitable of dwarf 
varieties, as the nuts are almost as showy as those of the Running 
Jumbo. Twenty-two pounds to the bushel. Lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 85c; 10 lbs., 
$1.50, postpaid. Write for prices on larger quantities. 
Spanish. Land which would not make 10 per cent of a crop of the 
Jumbo will often produce excellent bunch Spanish nuts, and they re¬ 
quire very little cultivation. They are easily gathered, the nuts cling¬ 
ing firmly to the roots at harvest, and no kind cures so readily. Im¬ 
mense quantities are now grown simply for hogs, hardly any food being 
more fattening or wholesome. Thirty pounds to the bushel. Lb., 25c; 
5 lbs., 85c; 10 lbs., $1.50, postpaid. Write for prices on larger quan¬ 
tities. 
Running Jumbo. The largest variety and especially adapted to light, 
sandy soil. Twenty-two pounds to the bushel. Lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 85c; 10 
lbs., $1.50, postpaid. Write for prices on larger quantities. 
FLAX 
Flax is very sensitive to cold and should not be sown until all danger of frost is past. 
When sown for the fiber, two bushels are usually sown to an acre. Lb., 35c; 5 lbs., $1.50; 
10 lbs., $2.75. (Write for prices on larger quantities.) 
HEMP 
Grown for its fiber, from which many commodifies are manufactured. For an acre 
broadcast one and a half bushels. Lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 75c; 10 lbs., $1.10. (Write for prices on 
larger quantities.) 
Austrian Winter Peas 
60 lbs. to the bushel. 
Considered by some southern growers equal to Hairy Vetch as a winter hay crop or 
for improving the soil. In the South they mature earlier than Vetch, making it possible 
to follow the Peas with cotton. They should be planted in September or October, an^d 
can usually be plowed under in time for spring crop. They may also be planted in Feb¬ 
ruary for forage crop. Bushel, 60 lbs. For an acre, when sown alone, 60 lbs. When sown 
with one bushel of rye or two bushels of oats, 30 lbs. Pk., $1.50; bu., $4.75. (Write foi 
prices on larger quantities). 
COW PEAS 
One of the cheapest and best crops for hay and improving the soil. 
60 lbs. to the bushel: 1 to IVa bus. per acre. 
The United States Department of Agriculture says no one thing will add more to the agricultural 
wealth of the South than the growing of Cow Peas. It is not only one of the South s most econimical 
crops for hay, and enriching the soil, but pound for pound. Cow Pea hay is practically as valuable as 
timothy, clover, or alfalfa hay. When the vines are to be saved for hay, they should be cut when the 
pods are forming. All of our Cow Peas are recleaned, and are always of high purity and germination. 
Sow in May, June, or early July at the rate of 1 to 1% bus. per acre. 
Black. (80 days). A popular variety for forage or turning under. It is very prolific, and oukk in 
maturing. A favorite variety for growing in corn or for pasturing hogs. This vanety is sometimes 
used for cooking purposes, and is very palatable. Lb., 20c: 2 lbs., 35c: 5 lbs., 75c: 10 lbs., $1.15, 
postpaid. (Write for prices in larger quantities). 
Taylor, or Barge Gray Wklp-poor-will. (75 days). An early sp^kled varirty sold many 
names, of upright growth and long vine. It also makes a heavy yield of shelled Peas. Lb., 20c: 
2 lbs., 35c: 5 Ite., 75c: 10 lbs., $1.15, postpaid. (Write for prices on larger quantities). 
Clay. (86 days). A late variety of running habit and medium vine. A good sort for improving the 
soil. Lb., 20c: 2 lbs., 35c: 5 lbs., 75c: 10 lbs., $1.15, postpaid. (Write for prices on larger quantities). 
Mixed. (80 days). In many instances, mixed Cow Peas grow thicker and produce a better crop of 
vines and forage than single varieties sown alone. When grown for soil improvement only, we 
recommend mixed Cow Peas. Lb., 20c: 2 lbs., 35c: 5 lbs., 75c: 10 lbs., $1.15, postpaid. (Write for 
prices on larger quantities).
