Stoneville Pedigreed Seed Company com- 
bines modern scientific research with 30 
years of practical experience in growing 
and developing superior cottons. Our goal 
has simply been to develop and to breed the 
best cottons possible... for the grower, the 
ginner, the buyer and the mill operator. 
The eight accepted characteristics of a 
superior cotton are (1) high yield, (2) ease 
of picking, (3) consistent field perform- 
ance, (4) uniform staple length, (5) good 
lint percentage, (6) excellent mill perform- 
ance, (7) high tensile strength, and 
(8) high grade seed. 
Stoneville breeders have combined 
these eight characteristics into the proper 
balance to give you superior all-around cot- 
tons. When you buy Stoneville’s Delfos or 
Stoneville seed, you are getting the finest 
cottons money can buy ... direct from 
the breeder. 
Yes, 1953, or any year, can be your 
best cotton year if you plant proven 
Stoneville seed.
