STONEVILLE 2B COTTON SEED 
We are exclusive distributors for Stoneville 2-B Cotton 
Seed grown on the Weilenman Plantation at Stoneville, 
Miss. The entire acreage on which these seed were pro- 
duced was carefully inspected for Wilt, Anthracnose, 
Varietal Purity, Trueness to Type by Mississippi State 
Crop Improvement Association and Mississippi State. 
Plant Board, both of State College, Miss. 
THESE SEED ARE STATE CERTIFIED. TAKE NO 
RISK—PLANT CERTIFIED SEED ONLY. 
This seed is ginned on a new $30,000.00 gin with special 
seed saving vacuum which eliminates light and faulty 
seed, and is sacked in sealed bags at the gin. 
All seed are machine de-linted, and treated with 
Ceresan, which means they will go much further in plant- 
ing and give much improved stands. 
The plant is medium vigorous, spreading and prolific 
and produces large bolls, 60 to 70 per pound of seed 
cotton. 
Stoneville 2-B is one of the few early maturing big 
boll cottons. The bolls open well and the percentage of 
five lock bolls is large. 
In valley lands the staple runs 11/16 to 11/8 inch and 
on high land 1 to 13/32 inch. The lint percentage in 
valley lands is 34 to 36% and on high land 35 to 38%. 
No records are available showing that any other variety 
or strain of cotton has ever so consistently ranked high 
in as many tests under as many different soil and climatic 
conditions as has Stoneville 2-B. 
Every year since the Weilenman plantation started 
growing Stoneville 2-B Cotton when it was first increased 
on their plantation they have averaged a bale or more 
to the acre, in spite of the fact that they have never 
poisoned to control the cotton insects. Stoneville 2-B is 
generally early enough in maturity to evade damage of 
insects. 
Below we give its official record in the tests where it 
appeared. Practically every known American variety of 
cotton of which seed is available commercially was in 
some one, or several of the tests i ty
