TAKE NO RISK—PLANT CERTIFIED SEED ONLY 
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 1944 crop. Yields under 
favorable and unfavorable conditions has established D & 
P L 14 as a leading profit producer. 
Our Deltapine 14 is first year from the originator and was 
grown on one plantation, on which no other variety is pro- 
duced and was ginned on his private gin. 
Our grower secures his planting seed each year from the 
originator and by planting only one variety and ginning his 
cotton only, it is not mixed in any way. Since cotton cross 
pollinates very little if any, his seed are, from every stand- 
point, comparable to the originators.

The land this seed was grown on is heavy, delta soil 
which undeniably will produce a much stronger stalk, 
heavier yield of lint cotton and seed of a much stronger vi- 
tality that will express the dominant money making char- 
acteristics of D & P L 14. 
All seed are sacked in 100-lb. sealed bags and CERTIFIED 
BY THE 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. 
All seed are machine de-linted, and treated with Ceresan, 
which means they will go much further in planting and give 
much improved 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.
