STONEVILLE 2B COTTON SEED 
WE ARE DISTRIBUTORS FOR STONEVILLE 2-B GROWN ON THE SHANNON PLANTATION 
Several years ago when the cotton acreage was re- 
duced it became necessary to produce a variety which 
would yield more on less acreage and at less expense in 
order for the farmer to realize a legitimate profit. One 
plant breeder’s answer to the farmers prayer was Stone- 
ville 2-B Cotton. It is an early maturing, big boll, easily 
picked cotton and there are no records available show- 
ing 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. 
Our Stoneville 2B was grown on the Shannon Plantation 
at Lake Cormorant, Mississippi, and it is the only variety 
of cotton ginned on their private gin. THEY DO NOT GIN 
FOR THE PUBLIC. Every year since the Shannon planta- 
tion started growing Stoneville 2B on their plantation they 
have averaged a bale or more to the acre. 
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. 
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%.
