azo NOT A SINGLE BUSHEL WAS RELEASED until we were fully and un- 
conditionally satisfied that we had a cotton of Superior Merits. To obtain these 
highly-desirable Merits in the fullest degree required many years of patience, 
understanding, and honest, purposeful efforts. 
WHEN THE FIRST BUSHEL OF BAGLEY PEDIGREED COTTON SEED was SOLD 
the QUALITY WAS THERE, and we have maintained and improved upon the quality 
ever since. These unsurpassed qualities present in BAGLEY COTTON are not merits 
received from idle hopes of the Breeder that he might plant in his field a superior 
cotton, nor from a season or two of attention in plant- 

ing. Rather, they are the realization of botanical , 
knowledge and practical experience focused on plant 
processes, urged on by our keen longing for an ideal cot- 
ton of greater money-making characteristics. ‘ 
Some varieties produce a long staple; others may produce 
a good lint turn-out and some produce large yields with 
- “inferior” staple. While there are other varieties that are 
adaptable to only certain types of soil.
