In Ordering Harper’s Cotton Be Sure to Indicate the Strain Desired 
HARPER’S B-L STRAIN 
Harper’s B-L Strain is bred for heavy bot- 
tom lands and flat lands, and it is well adapted 
for the humid Gulf Coast area. It also does 
well on rich flat lands, especially during a 
rainy summer. 
Harper’s B-L Strain has an upright-Pyra- 
midal type plant and is an excellent cotton for 
tractor farming. It has light open foliage 
which allows the sun to penetrate every part 
of the plant, making it an excellent insect 
resister. 
The thing that makes Harper’s new B-L 
Cotton so outstanding is its large bolls. The 
larger per cent of them are 5-lock. They fluff 
out nicely and the cotton is easy to pick. It 
possesses the feature long sought for in a 
cotton, a big boll with light foliage. 
The gin turnout of Harper’s new B-L Strain 
is from 387 to 40%, depending on the land and 
season. It has the highest lint percentage of 
any cotton of this type that is adapted for 
heavy bottom land conditions. 
The staple is very uniform in length, usually 
running from 1” to 17,” depending on the land 
and season. Cotton buyers call it a strong, 
hard cotton and it always produces a kind that 
is most in demand by the American spinners. 
HARPER’S U STRAIN 
Harper’s U Strain is bred for uplands. It 
will make you more cotton per acre in a dry, 
hot summer than any strain you can plant on 
ae lands. It will stand the dry weather and 
eat. 
k Harper’s new Improved U Strain Seed are a 
little larger than those of most Mebane type 
cottons. They are very light brown in color. 
The kernels are plump and full of oil, and 
are very strong in germination. 
Harper’s U Strain has the most ideal type 
plant of the Mebane Triumph Cotton. Its 
improved root system makes it a most out- 
standing drought resister. 
The bolls on Harper’s new U Strain are 
larger and slightly more rounding than other 
Mebane type cottons. They open early, are 
excellent storm resisters and are easy to pick. 
The gin turnout is one of the most out- 
standing features of this cotton. It is from 
388 to 41%, varying with the soil and season. 
ee pounds of seed cotton makes you a big 
ale. 
The staple of Harper’s new U Strain is 
greatly improved. It is uniform, hard, and 
wiry, $4” to 175”. The length will depend on 
the land and season. 
The price on B-L or U strain is $1.50 a bushel, freight prepaid in Texas, shipments of three 
bushels or more. The Texas freight rate is allowed on out-of-State shipments. We do not accept 
orders less than three bushels. We offer very attractive prices on 100 and 300 bushel lots. 
WATSON COTTON 
Improved from Mebane—State Registered 
An Easy-Picking Cotton 
The Watson Cotton, on account of its many desirable characteristics, has now become one 
of the most popular varieties grown in the Southwest. Without a doubt, it is the easiest picking 
cotton in Texas. Many farmers say the difference in picking, alone, is worth the price of the 
seed, 
The Watson Cotton has been bred, grown and developed, from the famous Mebane Cotton, 
in Dallas County, Texas, by Ferris Watson, a Cotton Breeder of more than twenty-five years’ 
experience. 
Watson Cotton is early fruiting with light foliage. It usually matures its crop from one 
to two weeks earlier than other standard varieties. The remarkable heavy yielding qualities 
no doubt are accounted for by the fact that its earliness, alone, enables it to mature its heavy 
crop of large five-lock bolls before the insects have time to destroy them. Its long, penetrating 
roots enable it to stand drouth remarkably well. Its staple usually runs from 1 inch to 1-1/16 
inches. Under normal condition 1,200 to 1,300 pounds of seed cotton will produce a bale of 
500 to 525 pounds of lint. 
Watson Pedigreed seed are ginned on exclusive gins, where no other cotton is ginned. The 
seed are cared for in the most modern pedigreed seed plant in the South, and are put up in 
8-bushel bags. We carry a large stock of these seed and can make prompt shipment of any 
quantity desired. 
Price, $1.75 per bushel. In lots of 3 bushels or more freight prepaid to points in Texas. In 
shipments of 3 bushels or more, Texas freight rate allowed on out-of-state shipments. 
CANADA FIELD PEAS 
(Pisum Sativum Arvense) 
INOCULATE SEED WITH NITRAGIN “C” F 
Plant during the months of October and November, and again in the early spring. 
They improve the soil by gathering and storing nitrogen. Yield heavy crops that may be 
grazed or made into hay, that stock eat greedily and thrive on. Grows 4 to 6 feet high, 
but can be grazed when 6 to 10 inches high. Pasturing the Peas makes them stool out 
better. It is a good idea when sowing the Peas to mix a bushel of oats, barley or wheat 
with 50 Pounds of Peas per acre. This makes a fine mixture and makes good hay. If sown 
alone, sow about 75 pounds per acre, broadcast. Crop of this kind is splendid to plow 
under for green manure. Also used as a table Pea and is only excelled by the English Pea. 
Lb., 25c; 2 Ibs., 45c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 20 lbs., $2.00. Ask for prices on larger quan- 
tities. 

AUSTRIAN PEAS 
(Pisum Arvense) 
INOCULATE SEED WITH NITRAGIN “C” 
This wonder plant makes a heavy vine 
growth that will decay very rapidly when 
plowed under. 
As a cover crop, it only needs ten to twelve 
pounds of growth to each 10 feet square, to 
plow under for fertilizer. It therefore can be 
planted in South Texas and Louisiana as early 
as the first of January; in North Texas, Jan- 
uary 15 to February 1. Other crops planted 
on the same soil, following the plowing under 
of Austrian Peas, will show a tremendous 
increase in yield. Cattle, sheep and hogs will 
graze on a field of Austrian Peas and enjoy 
it. A greater tonnage of hay can be obtained 
when planted with oats, the oats acting as a 
support for the peas and encouraging their 
growth. 
The most economical manner is to plant 
Austrian Peas in rows. In doing this, one 
should plant in three-foot rows such as in 
DALLAS, TEXAS 
planting corn, then turn back and plant be- 
tween the rows, thus giving you 8-inch rows 
when finished. It requires only 80 pounds to 
plant an acre in this way. 
If wanted for pasture or hay, sow broadcast, 
60 pounds to the acre; also 60 pounds to the 
acre when sown with an ordinary grain drill. 
If you desire to sow with small grain such 
as oats, we suggest sowing one or two bushels 
of oats to the acre about as deep as the drill 
will put the oats, and then plant back over the 
oats with the Peas at the rate of 30 to 40 
pounds to the acre, putting the Peas just 
deep enough to cover good, without disturbing 
the oats. This system of planting is neces- 
sary, as a mixture of peas and oats will not 
mix evenly enough to drill out uniformly. 
Sow in fall or early spring. Lb., 25c; 2 Ibs., 
45c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 20 Ibs., $1.25. Ask 
for prices on larger quantities.
