For twenty years, since the first selections of the Stoneville strains were made, 
we have endeavored to improve them by selection only. To the old No.2 strain 
we have added the 2-A and more recently the 2-B, both of which were meritor- 
ious selections. This year we have in production our selection No. 8275, which 
will be sold as 2-B, following up our policy of improving our established strains 
without confusing the public by continually offering new strain numbers. 
This strain is very uniform in planttype, has wide spreading branches, a fine 
round boll and slightly better lint percentage than our former strains of 2-B. 
Laboratory tests of the past three years productions show a high degree of uni- 
formity of staple or fibre lengths andan unusually high bundle or tensile 
strength, with low percentage of mill waste. 
It has been outstanding in yields of seed cotton and lint per acre in our own 
tests and in the official tests where it has been included at several Experiment 
Stations. We offer it with full confidence that it will please both the growers of 
fine cotton and the mills that want uniformity in both length and strength of 
fibre.
