STAPLE: 31/32” - 1 1/32”. Craracrer: Excellent. Season: Very early.

Pxiant: Open, 2 to 3 lateral branches. 
This is the first time that we have catalogued this strain of cotton. It has been 
in process of development for several years, and was first released to some selected 
growers in upper South Carolina. 
Results of these preliminary tests 
have been so uniformly satisfactory 
to farmers who like its high yield, 
earliness, and quality, that we now 
confidently offer it for general dis- 
tribution. 
Farmers desiring a cotton of 
very high lint percentage, with about 
1” staple should be very highly 
pleased with this early-maturing va- 
riety. It is very superior in produc- 
tion per acre. 
We recommend it highly for 
lands in good state of cultivation, or 
lowlands, and it will stand crowding. 
The fruiting habit of this variety is 
very striking. It has an oval boll, 
giving fine picking qualities. It is 
not recommended for wilt soils. All 
seed Ceresan treated. 

$8.00 per 100 lb. bag; 12 bags, $7.67 per bag; 24 bags, $7.34 per bag.

This past season of extreme dry weather in some sections caused a break in staple length 
of a portion of the cotton crop, as much, in some cases, at 1/16”. In such cases, the boll size is 
always affected. The cotton fiber grows in length as long as the boll continues to grow. Abnormal 
conditions retard lengthening, but the fiber continues to thicken until the boll is well open.
