YOU ARE THE JUDGE
ixtok over th* evidence and if you want to make the moat
money out of your cotton crop thia year, you will plant
"Money Maker/'
WHY
I* "Money Maker" the beet? R#c*ua* It has taken year* of

licet. To keep up and Improve on this high atandard. it la
neceaaary to *• lect for three 'ears the stock aeed tt»ed for

them to plant this‘Triple eelected atock s-*d‘ *»ee if they
were gr- wing cotton only for th* ami to be aold to the oil
nulls They ar* furnish d with ard plant only thia special
stock, all of which muat be ginned on private gin*, as we can
not afford to r ak aeed from public gina. The Alexander Seed
C ompany have been supplying many of the heat Southern
planter* for a I ng lime (over 86 years) with “the heat aeed
that grow selected for th* South “ Quality has always been
oui Aral consideration, our reputation and future bntmeaa de
trend* on the aeed we aell We could easily sell ten time* as
much cotton aeed this year as we will sell, but the supply of
heat quality aeed i* always limited and it does not pay in the
