Harper’s Cotton Seed-in Three Basic Strains 
HARPER’S U STRAIN 
For 26 years Robert M. Harper has bred 
and grown Mebane Triumph strain cotton ex- 
clusively on his Martindale breeding farms. 
His present improved Mebane is known as 
Harper’s U strain. It is a little more upright 
in growth than the old Mebane strains. It’s 
quicker in maturity and is greatly improved 
in staple length and character. It’s a pure line 
bred cotton selected to the highest peak in 
purity and production. It is selected and bred 
to stand the dry weather and hot summer 
days and will produce more good cotton per 
acre than any other strain when planted on 
upland and grown under dry weather condi- 
tions. 
The gin turnout is one of the most outstand- 
ing features, 38 to 42 per cent, varying with 
the soil and season. Twelve hundred and fifty 
pounds often makes a good bale of cotton. The 
staple is uniform, hard and wiry, 31/32 inch 
to ly inches in length, depending on the 
soil and season. 
HARPER’S BL STRAIN 
Harper’s BL strain got its name from tests 
made on rich bottom land. This particular 
Hybrid strain made more cotton per acre, a 
longer staple, and a higher gin turnout, so 
when we selected it, its beginning was known 
as BL, short for the best ‘‘Bottom Land”’ cot- 
ton. It’s adapted for rich, flat creek and river 
bottom lands and should be planted only by 
farmers who want to produce a quality prod- 
uct. Its outstanding features are earliness 
and staple length. 
The feature that makes it an outstanding 
cotton is its large bolls. The larger per cent 
of them are 5-lock. It’s quick maturing and 
the bolls crack and open quickly, making it an 
easy cotton to pick. It possesses the features 
long sought for in cotton, a big boll with light 
foliage. It will stand more wet weather and 
produce a bigger crop of cotton than other big 
boll strains. It’s an excellent insect resister 
and takes poison well due to its fuzzy stems 
and the position of the leaves on the plant. 
The lint percentage is 87 to 40 per cent, 
depending on the land and season. This strain 
has the highest gin turnout of any cotton of 
this type that produces a long and strong 
staple. The staple is very uniform in length, 
usually running from 1 inch to 1, inches, 
varying with the season. 
HARPER’S DD STRAIN 
After many years of intensive research 
Harper’s breeding farms proudly present a 
new strain. The parents and grandparents of 
our new DD, “DOUBLE DUTY,” strain have 
proven in hundreds of tests to be the best all- 
around Rowden type cotton, so if you like 
Rowden cotton and have land suited for it, 
we have just what you want in our new DD 
strain. It’s very definitely superior, the newest 
and one of the highest yielding Rowden strains. 
This new strain overshadows in performance 
any strain we have ever produced when plant- 
ed on soil and in sections adapted to Rowden 
type cotton. It better withstands adverse 
weather conditions. 
The bolls are well shaped, medium large to 
large, open quickly after maturing, and _ its 
well shaped burr makes it an easy cotton to 
pick. It can be left longer in the field without 
waste than any other Rowden strain. 
The big improvement that has recently been 
made in this cotton is its gin turnout, 38 to 40 
per cent lint. When grown on good fertile soil 
under the right climatic conditions, 1,300 seed 
cotton pounds will make you a good bale of 
cotton.
