Cotton and Corn Seed 
Grown by Fred M. Nelson of Roswell and certified by the New Mexico 
Crop Improvement Association 
THE 37A (1064) COTTON has the two characteristics that are most desired. It is 
the earliest and produces the longest staple of any cotton that has been grown in 
the Pecos Valley. 
First indication of earliness is shown by the stronger seedling vigor. Records 
from test plots in the Pecos Valley show the first picking to yield about 50% more 
than other strains. This first picking turned out to be 85% of the crop. On this 
same test plot the 1064 produced a most uniform lint of extra good strength that 
measured 1 5/32 inches. The yield was better than three bales per acre. The seed 
we offer is Blue Tag Certified. 100 lbs. in the lint $3.50; 100 lbs. delinted $7.50. 
COLLEGE ACALA COTTON is preferred by many for upland ground where it does 
not produce excessive rank growth. It has met with great success in Southeastern 
New Mexico and parts of West Texas. It is a large boiled, high yielding cotton 
with a good staple of about 1 3/32 inches. We offer Blue Tag Certified Seed. 
100 lbs. in lint $3.50; 100 lbs. delinted $7.50. 
IMPROVED MEXICAN JUNE CORN has proved to be the most dependable corn 
crop for the Pecos Valley. It is acclimated here; it will make a crop when others 
fail. It will make with less water. The shucks cover the end of the ear and pro¬ 
tect the corn from worms. We seldom find this corn affected by smut. The tall 
stalks make it especially desirable for ensilage. Year in and year out you cannot 
go wrong in Nelson’s Certified Mexican June Corn. 100 lbs. $5.00. 
ALL OF ABOVE PRICES ARE F. O. B. ROSWELL 
We carry a complete stock of field seeds and 
will issue a Field Seed Price List in February. 
PEAT MOSS 
Peat Moss serves three purposes in your plant beds: supplies humus to the soil, 
produces essential acids to break down complicated food substances so that plants 
may use the foods in the simplest and most nourishing forms and it supplies the 
mulch to hold moisture and protect plants. 
Ordinary soil is likely to dry, cake or harden. Humus makes it loose and springy. 
Humus absorbs moisture; sucks in the warm, life-giving rays of the sun; stores 
up plant food and releases it to the hungry roots when they need it most. 
Peat Moss is pure vegetable matter which Nature only can produce. We offer the 
choicest which comes from the huge primeval bogs of Sweden and the Northland 
countries of Europe. Price $3.85 for bales that weigh about 140 lbs. Prices on 
larger and smaller amounts given on request.
