Watson Cotton 
Improved from Mebane—State Registered 
An Easy-Picking Cotton 
The Watson Cotton has been bred, grown and developed from the famous Mebane Cotton, in 
Dallas County, Texas, by Ferris Watson, a Cotton Breeder of more than twenty-five years’ 
experience. 
The Watson Cotton, on account of its many de- 
sirable characteristics, has now become one of 
the most popular varieties grown in the South- 
west. Without a doubt, it is the easiest picking 
cotton in Texas. Many farmers say the differ- 
ence in picking, alone, is worth the price of 
the seed. 
This Cotton is early fruiting with light foli- 
age. It usually matures its crop from one to two 
weeks earlier than other standard varieties. 
The remarkable heavy yielding qualities no 
doubt are accounted for by the fact that its 
earliness, alone, enables it to mature its heavy 
crop of large five-lock bolls before the insects 
have time to destroy them. Its long, penetrating 
roots enable it to stand drought remarkably 
well. Its staple usually runs from 1 inch to 175 
inches. Under normal condition 1,200 to 1,300 
pounds of seed will produce a bale of 500 to 
525 pounds of lint. 
Watson New Rowden 
IMPROVED FROM ROWDEN—STATE 
REGISTERED 
Watson’s new Rowden Cotton with its su- 
perior qualities has proved more than satisfac- 
tory where planted and for several reasons— 
it is earlier and very easily picked, also has 
good drought resistant qualities. This new Row- 
den Cotton has brought forth very enthusiastic 
reports from those who have tried it. This im- 
proved strain will give you a higher gin turn- 
out, a heavier acre yield and larger bolls. We 
strongly recommend its planting in any area 
where Rowden cotton can be successfully pro- 
duced.

Canada Field Peas 
(Pisum Sativum Arvense) 
INOCULATE SEED WITH NITRAGIN “C” 
Plant during the months of October and November, and again in the early spring. They 
improve the soil by gathering and storing nitrogen. Yield heavy crops that may be grazed or 
made into hay, that stock eat greedily and thrive on. Grows 4 to 6 feet high, but can be grazed 
when 6 to 10 inches high. Pasturing the Peas makes them stoo: out better. It is a good idea when 
sowing ihe Peas to mix a bushel of oats, barley or wheat with 50 pounds of Peas per acre. This 
makes a fine mixture and makes good hay. If sown alone, sow about 75 pounds per acre, broad- 
cast. Crop of this kind is splendid to plow under for green ‘nanure. Also used as a table Pea and 
is only excelled by the English-Pea. Lb., 35c; 2 lbs., 60c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 20 lbs., $2.50. 
Ask for prices in larger quantities. 
Austrian Peas 
(Pisum Arvense) 
INOCULATE SEED WITH NITRAGIN ”"C” 
As a cover crop, it only needs ten to twelve 
pounds of growth to each 10 feet square, to 
plow under for fertilizer. It therefore can be 
planted in South Texas and Louisiana as early 
as the first of January; in North Texas, January 
15 to February 1. Other crops planted on the 
same soil, following the plowing under of 
Austrian Peas, will show a tremendous increase 
in yield. Cattle, sheep and hogs will graze on 
a field of Austrian Peas and enjoy it. 
The most economical manner is to plant 
Austrian Peas in rows. In doing this, one should 
plant in three-foot rows such as in planting 
corn, then turn back and plant between the 
rows, thus giving you 8-inch rows when fin- 
ished. It requires only 30 pounds to plant an

acre in this way. 
If wanted for pasture or hay, sow brcudcast, 
60 pounds to the acre; also 60 pounds to the 
acre when sown with an ordinary grain drill. 
If you desire to sow with small grain such 
as oats, we suggest sowing one or two bushels 
of oats to the acre about as.deep as the drill 
will put the oats, and then plant back over the 
oats with the Peas at the rate of 30 to 40 pounds 
to the acre, putting the Peas just deep enough 
to cover good, without disturbing the oats. This 
system of planting is necessary, as a mixture of 
peas and oats will not mix evenly enough to 
drill out uniformly. Sow in fall or early spring. 
Lb., 30c; 2 Ibs., 50c, postpaid. Ask for prices in 
larger quantities.
