Delfos 9169 is a selection from Delfos 531-C and has been selected and increased in response 
to the demand for a Delfos cotton with larger boll, better picking qualities, more plant vigor, and 
high acre yield of lint. From this standpoint 9169 is really an outstanding cotton. Shows high 
wilt resistance. 
In official cotton variety tests throughout the cotton belt, Delfos 9169 has consistently ranked 
near the top in lint and money value per acre. 
Delfos 9169 should please the most exacting planter — High yield, High lint percentage, 
High quality lint, and extra high seed milling value. We know of no other cotton that ranks so 
high in all these qualities. 

THE STONEVILLE PEDIGREED SEED COMPANY has been operating for almost a quarter 
of a century dedicated to the principle that—‘Sound cotton farming economy depends upon the ability of 
the cotton farmer to produce economically, cotton which best meets the needs of the cotton processor.” Prac- 
tical application of such a principle has called for close cooperation with the research staffs of State Experi- 
ment Stations, the U. S. Department of Agriculture and the Spinning Industry. Such cooperation has been, 
is, and will continue to be an integral part of the operation of this concern. Information gained from this 
cooperation has resulted in the STONEVILLE cottons of today with their outstanding superiority in yield 
and in spinning qualities. We of the STONEVILLE PEDIGREED SEED COMPANY herewith pledge our- 
selves to continue this cooperation not only with the spinning industry and Government Agencies, but also 
with the farm implement manufacturers in order that we may continue to work diligently to breed into 
our cottons the qualities necessary to meet the constantly changing needs of producer and consumer. To 
carry out this pledge we have what we believe to be the outstanding cotton breeding staff of the world em- 
ployed in this work. This staff is made up of Mr. C. A. Tate, Dr. Geo. Rea Walker, and Dr. J. Winston 
Neely. The experience and knowledge of these men are available to you for any particular problem in this 
field with which you may be faced. We invite you to visit our office and breeding fields at any time to discuss 
your problems and to bring us any suggestions you may have for improving our service to you.
