COTTON SEED 
Grown from Breeder Foundation Stock. 
Certified. High Germination. Ceresan treated. 
Protects seedlings from disease and cold damp 
weather, 25% better stands, more vigorous, 
quicker growth, earlier maturity, higher yields. 
Delinted Seed hastens germination and growth, 
especially in dry weather. Mechanically delinted 
requires only 20 to 25 lbs. per acre; Acid delinted, 
10 Ibs. per acre; cheaper than ordinary seed, 
which takes 35 lbs. per acre. 
D&PL-FOX, Improved Deltapine 15 
Higher yield. 10 days earlier. More can be 
harvested at the first picking. Bolls are rounder 
and easier picked by hand or machine. Fiber is 
thicker. Yarn appearance is superior. High spin- 
ning qualities. Better for mechanical picking as 
it does not grow rank. When its strong compact 
well jointed stalks are heavily loaded with bolls 
it stands upright, defoliates naturally, and makes 
little second growth. It is easier to clean trash 
out of its thicker, better matured fiber, producing 
a better grade, better appearing yarn and less 
waste. Fox fruits low, so plant it thick forcing 
it to fruit higher. 
Since 1948 Fox has made highest yields at 
many experiment stations. In 1951 it made the 
highest average yield of 20 varieties in three 
North Alabama tests, 513 Ibs. of lint per acre, 
36.3% lint, 1 1/16 inch staple. Deltapine 15 made 
391 Ibs, 38.7% lint, same staple and bolls per 
pound. Coker 100 Wilt, BFS yielded 447 lbs. 
34.8% lint, 1 3/32 inch staple. In 11 Central 
Alabama tests Fox averaged 524 lbs. lint, 38.1%; 
Deltapine 15, 500 lIbs., 41.1%; Coker 100 Wilt, 
491 I|bs., 36.5% lint. 
Deltapine 15 should remain popular as it per- 
sists longer, has higher turnout and_ usually 
slightly longer staple and stronger yarn. 
DELTAPINE 15. Ist Year from Breeder. 
Best for non-wilt soils. Good fiber quality; 1-1/16- 
inch staple. Storm resistant yet easily picked by 
hand or machine. Distinguished by its produc- 
tiveness, high gin turnout, 41%, excellent staple 
and ability to produce a crop under adverse soil 
and weather conditions. In greater demand than 
any other variety. Developed by over 35 years 
breeding by one of the world’s foremost breeders 
on the D&PL farms, which grow 8,500 acres of 
cotton, averaging 1,000 Ibs. of lint per acre. 
COKER 100 WILT, Certified, Delinted. 
Grown from Breeder Foundation seed on 250 
acres in Cleveland Co., N. C. Best cotton for 
wilt infested soils. Widely adapted. 1-1/16 inch. 
Extra early. High yield. Easily picked by hand or 
machine. Superior spinning. 
The result of 20 years testing on wilt-infested 
soil of thousands of plants, selecting for wilt re- 
sistance, yield, staple, picking quality, storm resis- 
tance, fiber strength and spinning quality. It has 
erect plants, well spaced branches, and _ thin 
foliage. Leaves shed as cotton matures. Bolls are 
round, slightly pointed, 68 per Ib. Bolls ripen 
uniformly, open extremely wide, fluff beautifully, 
yet storm resistant. Maintains a high grade during 
adverse seasons. Gins out 37%. Excellent, uni- 
form, strong line character. It has won most of 
the recent state and local cotton contests. J. H. 
Neeley, Chester, S. C., holds the record of 8,275 
Ibs. of lint on 5 acres. 
T. W. WOOD & SONS 
Wood’s Seed Cotton grown at the top of the 
Cotton Belt, matures earlier, beating the boll 
weevil, making bumper crops of top quality 
lint. Blue Tag Certified, grown in one variety 
communities and ginned at private gins. It is 
picked early when dry to prevent spoiling and 
insure good germination. 
CROTALARIA 
THE KING OF SOIL BUILDING CROPS 
One of the best summer green manure crops, 
makes twice as much leafy growth and root 
nodules as cow peas, 15 to 20 tons per acre. 
When turned under the nitrogen is worth $40.00 
per acre, the humus prevents erosion, holds 
water in sandy soil and opens up heavy soil. 
Yields of following crops are doubled. Smothers 
out summer weeds; grows well on any soil, 
good or waste land; requires no lime, fertilizer 
or cultivation. Early cultivation pays as it grows 
slowly at first. From corn planting time to July, 
sow 20 Ibs. scarified seed per acre broadcast, 
or 8 Ibs. in 3-ft. rows. Cover 11/2 inches and roll. 
Use Arasan and Inoculant 5. 
LATE CROTALARIA SPECTABILIS 
7ft. tall. Yields green manure, equal to 800 Ibs. 
of nitrate of soda per acre. Stalks pithy, easily 
plowed under, decay readily. Not eaten by live- 
stock or insect pests. Will starve nematodes out 
of the soil. Thrives on all soils. 
GIANT STRIATA CROTALARIA 
Outstanding for mammoth growth and seed 
production. Grows rapidly, resisting weeds and 
grass. When turned under the green manure and 
nitrogen gathered by its roots increase yields 
of corn or other crops enormously. 
IMPROVED VALENCIA has large pods, each filled with 3 or 4 
big red nuts with the most delicious flavor. Best for home use. 
Brings a premium on the market. High shelling percent.

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA 
PEANUTS 
Grown from pedigreed seed, heavily recleaned, 
hand picked, high germination, free of pops. Not 
shelled, as machine shelling breaks the seed coat, 
causing poor stands. Shell and pick by hand; use 
Arasan (page 67) and Wood’s Inoculation 5. Plant 
in May or early June, 1Y2 inches deep, 1 inch if 
soil is moist. Plant closer on poorer soils. Use 
500 Ibs. 0-12-12 fertilizer per acre. On Jumbos use 
300 Ibs. gypsum. Cultivate shallow and often un- 
til nuts start. Dust 3 times with fine sulphur. To 
harvest loosen roots with a plow, pull vines up, 
let nuts dry, stack around a stake, nuts inward. 
Peanuts 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. 
LARGE VIRGINIA JUMBO RUNNER 
Largest Nuts. Higher Yield, Grade and Value. 
155 days. Pure strain with higher yield, larger, 
more uniform pod and kernel. It makes the 
highest per cent of extra large kernels for high 
grade salted nuts and candy. Pods are big and 
thick with very little dent around the center. Gets 
best prices, sold unhulled for roasting. It shells 
out 68% meat. Best adapted to light sandy soils, 
high in calcium. Plant in early May 45 lbs. of 
shelled seed per acre (85 lbs. unhulled), 6 to 8 
inches apart in 30 to 36-inch rows. 
IMPROVED VALENCIA BUNCH 
Big red nuts. Best for average Soils where 
other large peanuts yield many pops. 140 days. 
A 30-lb. bushel shells out 22 Ibs. of nuts. Does 
well farther west and north than any other large 
varieties, or after early truck crops in the South. 
Plant 40 Ibs. shelled nuts per acre (60 lbs. un- 
shelled) 8 to 10 inches apart in 21/2 to 3 ft. rows. 
WHITE SPANISH BUNCH PEANUTS 
Earliest maturing. Highest oil content, 50%. Best 
for crushing, heavy soils or where large varieties 
fail. 135 days. 2 small white nuts entirely 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 Ibs. shelled nuts per acre (45 lbs. un- 
shelled), 6 to 8 inches apart in 2 to 21/2 ft. rows. 
TENNESSEE RED BUNCH 
142 days. Long pods packed with 3 to 4 red nuts 
with mild sweet flavor. Productive on heavy and 
most all soils. High oil content and shelling per 
cent. Brings a premium for roast- 
ing. Plant 40 Ibs. shelled nuts per 
acre (60 lbs. unshelled) 6 to 8 inches 
apart in 27 to 33 inch rows. 
VELVET BEANS 
Nutritious fall and winter grazing 
or soil improvement crop. Vines, 
leaves and pods remain palatable 
all winter. Plant 20 Ibs. per acre 
with corn. After corn in harvested 
turn cattle or hogs in to graze. 
100-DAY SPECKLED is one of the 
earliest varieties, best for the up- 
per South. Makes wondrous growth 
of vines for pasturing and finishing 
cattle and a fine soil improver.
