For twenty years, since the first selections of the Stoneville strains were made, we have en- 
deavored 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 meritorious selections. This year we have in produc- 
tion 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 plant type, has wide spreading branches, a medium 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 uniformity of staple fibre lengths and an 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.
