W. W. BAGLEY — Founder, Breeder and Grower, 
As He Appears Today. 


Dear Fellow Grower: 
We wish to take this means of expressing our appreciation for the wonderful 
reception accorded our BAGLEY PEDIGREED COTTONSEED since it was first 
introduced on the market a number of years ago. The widespread popularity of 
our cotton is manifest in the large number of satisfied customers who re-order 
each year. Approximately 85% of our sales each season is repeat business which 
is positive proof that our BAGLEY COTTON is meeting grower’s expectations 
and netting them MORE COTTON DOLLARS on their planted acres. 
During our 26 years of breeding our first aim has always been to breed our 
cotton to meet the needs of the Grower. Our cotton has shown consistent improve- 
ment down through the years until today the Bagley Plant is really a thorough- 
bred, embodying in a well-balanced proportion all of the desired characteristics of 
a Money-Making Cotton. Just as the glass-less, square-bodied cars of earlier days 
appear obsolete by the side of the ultra-modern, sleek limousines of today; likewise 
the 1915 cottons were devoid of the perfectly balanced features incorporated in 
our BAGLEY PEDIGREED COTTONSEED of today. 
We are glad that we have a superior seed to offer our friends and customers. 
Nothing gives us greater pleasure than to see Bagley Growers make More Cotton 
Dollars. We sell only seed grown under our direct supervision and control. This is 
the reason we can guarantee every bushel of BAGLEY PEDIGREED COTTON- 
SEED to meet our standards of Quality and Purity 100 Per Cent. 
ORDER NOW AND SAVE MONEY! 
It behooves every Cotton Grower to plant the very best seed he can get. Sel- 
dom do we have enough seed to fill the ever-growing demand. During past years 
we have returned literally thousands of orders we could not fill because our supply 
was exhausted. The price is very likely to advance in the near future. SAVE 
MONEY by ordering NOW. Grow a paying crop of cotton next year. You will 
find an order blank on the last page of this folder and we will be glad to hear 
from you right away. 
Very sincerely yours, 
W. W. BAGLEY & SONS.
