COTTON SEED 
Grown from Breeder Foundation Stock. 
Certified. High Germination. Treated. 
Ceresan treated to protect the seedlings from 
disease and cold damp weather, for 25% bet- 
ter stands, more vigorous plants, and higher 
yields. 
Delinted Seed hastens germination and 
growth, especially in dry weather; requires 
only 20 to 25 lbs. per acre; cheaper to plant 
than ordinary seed, which takes 35 lbs. per 
acre. Oe Ore 0 
COKER 100 WILT, Certified Delinted. 
lst Year from Breeder. Best cotton for wilt in- 
fested soils. Widely adapted. 1-1/16 inch. 
Extra early. High Yield. Easily picked by 
hand or machine. Superior spinning. 
The result of 18 years testing on wilt-infested 
soil of thousands of plants, selecting for wilt 
resistance, yield, staple, picking quality, storm 
resistance, fiber strength and spinning quality. 
Already 2!/4 million acres are planted and it 
is rapidly expanding. E. M. Duncan, Pickens 
Co., S. C., made an all time S. C. record with 
it: 7,505 lbs. of lint on 5 acres, or 1,501 Ibs. 
lint per acre, staple 1-1/32 in. 
Erect plant, well spaced branches, thin foli- 
age. Leaves shed as cotton matures. The 
bolls open extremely wide and fluff out beau- 
tifully, yet is storm resistant; maintains a high 
grade during adverse seasons. Gins out 38%.

We grew 250 acres of Coker 100 Wilt seed 
from breeder foundation stock on one big 
farm in a one-variety community and ginned 
it on a private gin that handles no other va- 
riety. It passed the rigid certification inspec- 
tion test of the Carolina Crop Improvement 
Association. It was picked early when dry, to 
prevent spoiling and insure good germination. 
DELTAPINE 15. Ist Year from Breeder. 
Certified best cotton for soils not infested with 
wilt. Good fiber quality; 1-1/16 to 1'/g-inch 
staple. The most discussed variety in the 
South. Distinguished by its productiveness, 
high gin turnout, excellent staple and ability 
to produce a crop under adverse soil and 
weather conditions; in greater demand than 
any other variety. Developed by over 30 years 
breeding by one of the world’s foremost cotton 
breeders on the D. & P. L. farms, which grow 
8,500 acres of this cotton, which average |,000 
lbs. of lint cotton per acre.

Holland Jumbo has the largest and most uni- 
form kernel. Pods are big and thick with very 
little dent around the center. Gets best prices. 
Holland Jumbo Peanuts 
Larger Nuts. Higher Yield, Grade and Value. 
155 days. Runner type. The Holland, Va., Ex- 
periment Station, bred and furnished us this 
pure strain with higher yield, larger, more uni- 
form pod and kernel. It makes the highest per 
cent of extra large kernels. for high grade 
salted nuts and candy. It has the highest per 
cent of large bright colored pods to be hand 
picked and sold unhulled for roasting. It shells 
out 68% meat. Best adapted to light sandy 
soils, high in calcium. Our seed fields passed 
the rigid certified inspection. Plant 45 Ibs. of 
shelled seed per acre (85 lbs. unhulled), 10 
to 16 inches apart in 30 to 40-inch rows, closer 
on poorer soils.

IMPROVED VALENCIA 
Big Red Nuts. Best for Average Soils Where 
Other Large Peanuts Yield Many Pops. 
140 days. Bunch type. 30-lb. bus. shells out 
22 |bs. nuts. Has large well-filled pods with 
3 or 4 nuts. Most delicious flavor. Best for 
home use. Brings a premium on the market. 
Early. Can plant after early truck crops or 
where other large varieties fail; 40 lbs. shelled 
nuts per acre (60 lbs. unshelled) 8 to 14 inches 
apart in 2, to 234 ft. rows, closer on poorer 
soils. 
WHITE SPANISH PEANUTS 
Earliest Maturing. Highest Oil Content, 50%. 
Best for Crushing. Heavy Soils or the North. 
135 days,: Bunch type. 2 small white nuts en- 
tirely fill each pod. Shells out 75%. Superior 
sweetness and flavor. Very few pops so often 
found in large varieties. Easier to grow and 
harvest. Nuts cling firmly to the roots and are 
easily cured. Plant 30 lbs. shelled nuts per 
acre (45 lbs. unshelled), 6 to 12 inches apart 
in 2 to 2\/> ft. rows, closer on poorer soils. 
WOOD'S SEED PEANUTS are grown from 
pedigreed seed, heavily recleaned, hand 
picked, high germinating, free of pops. Not 
shelled, as machine shelling breaks the seed 
coat, causing poor stands. Shell and pick by 
hand; use Arasan (page 68) and Wood's 
Inoculation Group 5. Plant in May or early 
June, 1'/) inches deep, | inch if soil is moist. 
Use 400 lbs. 0-12-12 fertilizer per acre. On 
Jumbos use 300 lbs. gypsum. Cultivate shal- 
low and often until nuts start. To harvest 
loosen roots with a plow, pull vines up, let nuts 
dry, stack around a stake, nuts inward. Pea- 
nuts will grow ‘on any soil, light sandy soils 
produce the best. The vines are superior to 
alfalfa in fat, nearly equal in protein and feed 
livestock all winter and spring. Nuts left in the 
ground fatten hogs and give pork a superior 
flavor.

CROTALARIA 
THE KING OF SOIL BUILDING CROPS 
One of the best summer soil-building crops, 
makes much more leafy growth and root no- 
dules than cow peas or velvet beans, often 20 
tons per acre. When turned under the cash 
value of nitrogen is estimated at $40.00 per 
acre, besides the untold value of humus which 
prevents erosion, holds water in sandy soil and 
opens up heavy soil. Yields of following crops 
are frequently doubled. Completely smothers 
out summer weeds; grows well on any soil, 
good or waste land; requires no lime, ferti- 
lizer or cultivation, although early cultivation 
pays as it grows slowly at first. From corn 
planting time through June, sow 20 Ibs. scari- 
fied seed per acre broadcast, or 8 Ibs. in 3- 
foot cultivated rows. Cover 1|/> inches and 
roll. Do not plant unscarified seed, as it ger- 
minates poorly, requiring twice as much seed 
per acre. Our seed is scarified, germinates 
readily and is 99° pure. Use Arasan (page 
68) and Wood's Inoculant Group 5. 
Late Spectabilis makes a tremendous growth. 
LATE CROTALARIA SPECTABILIS 
Grows 7 feet tall. Yields 15 tons or more of 
green manure, equal to 700 to 1,000 Ibs. of 
nitrate of soda per acre. Stalks are pithy, 
easily plowed under, and decay readily. Not 
eaten by livestock or insect pests. Will starve 
nematodes out of the soil. Thrives on all soils. 
CROTALARIA INTERMEDIA 
2 weeks earlier. The only palatable crotalaria 
relished by animals. Furnishes two cuttings of 
hay. Long, thin leaves of fine quality. 
GIANT STRIATA CROTALARIA 
Outstanding for mammoth growth and seed 
production. Grows rapidly, resisting weeds 
and grass. Frequently yields 15 to 20 tons of 
green manure per acre. When this is turned 
back into the soil with the nitrogen gathered 
by its roots, yields of corn or other crops are 
increased enormously. Thrives on sandy loam 
soils so low in fertility other crops fail. Can 
be seeded on small grains in early spring or 
when corn is planted. Not edible.
