WE ARE DISTRIBUTORS FOR D & P L 14 GROWN ON SYCAMORE BEND PLANTATION 
The Delta and Pine Land Company has never offered a 
new variety or strain of cotton to the public until it was 
thoroughly tested in most of the Cotton Belt under a wide 
variation of soils and climatic conditions. Before final 
approval it must produce a high percentage of lint, satis- 
factory staple, and show good spinning quality. 
D & P L 14 was in limited production for experimental 
purposes from 1938 to 1942. Tests during those years were 
made over most of the cotton belt at experiment stations, 
and on average farms. Recorded results show D & P L 14 
a heavier producer of slightly longer staple and decidedly 
superior ginning quality than any of the older strains of 
Deltapine cotton. D & P L 14 was sold by the Originator 
over all the cotton belt for the 1943 crop. Yields under 
favorable and unfavorable conditions has established D & 
P L 14 as a leading profit producer. 
Our D & P L 14 was grown on the Sycamore Bend 
Plantation at Hughes, Arkansas, and it is the only variety 
of cotton ginned on their private gin. THEY DO NOT 
GIN FOR THE PUBLIC. 
Sycamore Bend Plantation secures their planting seed 
each year from the originator and by planting only one 
variety and ginning their cotton only, it is not mixed in 
any way. Since cotton cross pollinates very little if any, 
their seed are, from every standpoint, comparable to the 
originators.

The land this seed was grown on is heavy, delta soil 
and practically new, which undeniably will produce a much 
stronger stalk, heavier yield of lint cotton and seed of a 
much stronger vitality that will express the dominant 
money making characteristics of D & P L 14 better than 
land that has been planted in cotton for years and years. 
All seed are sacked in 100-lb. sealed bags at the gin 
and CERTIFIED BY THE ARKANSAS STATE PLANT 
BOARD. This insures purity and freedom from disease. 
The seed we offer has been rigidly graded. It is treated 
with 2% Ceresan which means that it will not require 
as much seed to plant an acre and insures better stands. 
1,250 pounds of seed cotton gins out on an average of 
a 500-lb. bale, a lint turnout of 40% or better. In the 
Delta, the staple is 11/16 to 13/32 inches with a con- 
siderable quantity of 1% inches in good staple years.
