Culture: The cultivation of Cotton varies considerably, 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 other¬ 
wise only one. Frequent shallow cultivation is necessary to keep 
the surface free from crust, and planting should never be done 
until danger of frost is passed. 
Early 
Prnliflr (Medium Boll). This is a selection from the 
rrOIITIC. King’s, as a large percentage of the flowers 
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., 50c; bu., $1.90. 
Fnriv l^lnn (Medium Boll). The standard variety holds its 
tuny rViny. own against the newer Cottons, many of the best 
of which were bred from it, as evidenced by the King’s character¬ 
istic red spot in the center of the bloom. It is one of the earliest 
kinds, maturing in about ninety days. Pk., 50c; bu., $1.90. 
Trirp (Medium Boll). Although several days later than Early 
I nC6. King in maturing, this fine Georgia selection 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. Pk., 50c; bu., $1.90. 
(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. 
Mexican Big Boll. 
Culture: Peanuts do well on most southern farm land, whether light, loamy or even sandy, provid¬ 
ing 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 rows, covering 1 to IVz 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 formation of the nuts. For an acre, from 1 to 2 bushels 
in the hull, according to size. 
FLAX 
Austrian Winter Peas 
Considered by some southern gi’owers equal to Hairy Vetch as a winter hay crop or for improv¬ 
ing the soil. In the South they mature earlier than Vetch, making it possible to follow the Peas 
with cotton. They should be planted in Sept, or Oct., and can usually be plowed under in time for 
spring crop. They may also be planted in Feb. for forage crop. Bushel, 60 lbs. For an acre, when 
sown alone, 60 lbs. When sown with one bu. of rye or two bu. of oats, 30 lbs. Pk., $1.50; bu., $4.75. 
One of the cheapest and best crops for hay and improving the soil. 
Sow in May, June or July. 60 lbs. to the bushel; 1 to lYz bushels per acre. 
Black. (90 days). A popular, low growing vining pea. Equally good for forage, turning under, 
growing in corn, or for hog pasture. Also used for culinary purposes. Bb., 20c; 2 lbs., 35c; 
5 lbs., 75c; 10 lbs., $1.15, postpaid. 
Taylor, or Barge Gray Whip-poor-will. (75 days). An early speckled variety sold under many 
names, of upright growth and long vine. It also makes a heavy yield of shelled Peas. Bb., 20c; 
2 lbs., 35c; 5 lbs., 75c; 10 lbs., $1.15, postpaid. 
Clay. (85 days). A late variety^ of running habit and medium vine. A good sort for 
improving the soil. Bb., 20c; 2 lbs., 35c; 5 lbs., 75c; 10 lbs., $1.15, postpaid. 
Virninin Rimrk This is by far the most profitable of dwarf varieties, the nuts 
IViaminurn Yirginia almost as showy as those of the Running Jumbo. Twenty- 
two pounds to the bushel. Bb., 25c; 5 lbs., 85c; 10 lbs., $1.50 postpaid. 
Spa 
Land which would not make 10% of a crop of the Jumbo will often produce excellent 
bunch Spanish nuts, they require very little cultivation. Are easily gathered, the nuts 
clinging firmly to the roots at harvest, and no kind cures so readily. Immense quantities are now 
grown simply for hogs, hardly any food being more fatten¬ 
ing or wholesome. Thirty pounds to the bushel. Bb., 25c; 
5 lbs., 85c; 10 lbs., $1.50, postpaid. 
Running Jumbo Peanuts 
R linn inn liimkn The largest variety and especially 
■vunning Jumuo. adapted to light, sandy soil. Twenty- 
two pounds to the bushel. Bb., 25c; 5 lbs., 85c; 10 lbs., $1.50, 
postpaid. 
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. Bb., 35c; 5 lbs., $1.50; 10 lbs., $2.75. 
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. Bb., 20c; 2 lbs., 35c; 5 lbs., 75c; 10 lbs., $1.15, postpaid.
