Dear Sir:—For the past three y<*ars I have
been plan'lng your cott*>n «erd on mv farm four
miles southwest of Raleigh. V c. and each
year the merits of your seed have beimme more
anu more apparent
Three ye *rs ago I planted with the best King
Seed I could ouy. This afforded a good oppor
tunity to test the two kinds I found that the
eotton grown from our seed mat red a lea-t
two weeks earlier than the K ng wnlch you
know la cons der d an eaMy variety.
The seed are comparatively small, and the
yield at the gin both an loquailtv and q mntltv.
Is all that could he desired From % o 10
pounds of lint from a hundr d pounds of seed
cotton. It Is needless for me to sav for the
past two years I have pia-neo no other kind
I migh' add. that he A. and M. < ‘oilege. with
which I am <-onsected as tetcher a"d where we
teach and study seed selections, has planted no
other variety for tne past two y- ar».
Aa the old adage go -s, ‘The proof of the pod
ding Is In the eating thereof." >o we have tried
your seed and found them superior and shall
continue to plant them until we find something
better. Yours truly.
