Nurseries (Horticulture) Tennessee Memphis Catalogs; Nursery stock Tennessee Memphis Catalogs; Flowers Tennessee Memphis Catalogs; Vegetables Tennessee Memphis Catalogs; Fruit Tennessee Memphis Catalogs; Gardening Tennessee Memphis Equipment and supp. Cotton Picking on a Southern Farm Station Trice 27-241 A great favorite in Mississippi as an early cotton. Has an enviable record at the Mississippi Experiment Station, and is growing in favor yearly. On good land it pulls a staple of 1 1/8 inches; has medium boll; average size plant and light foliage. Especially recommended for weevil sections because of early fruiting. Outturn about 32 per cent. Wannamaker Cleveland This is probably the best known of all the early maturing short cottons on the market today. It has not quite so big a boll as the original Cleveland nor quite so long a staple; however, it classes as a big boll type and staple runs from 1 inch to 1 1/16 inches in length. It combines the three most desirable characteristics in a cotton for boll weevil conditions and elsewhere—extreme earliness of maturity, extra large lint outturn at gin, and prolific yield in the field. It comes nearer thriving under any and all conditions than any other variety we know of, and is recommended by the dif- ferent Experiment Stations for both hill and valley lands. Seeds are straight, brownish color, bolls are large, plants uniform, foliage medium, lint percentage 39, staple 1 to 1 1/16 inches. King's Early Improved A very early, small boll, short staple, small seeded variety, matures two weeks earlier than any other sort and nearly always thirds itself. On account of its extreme earliness it is largely planted in the boll weevil infected sec- tions, as it matures most of its crop before the weevil makes its appearance; lint turn-out 36 per cent. The best we can recommend for replanting. Half and Half This is a very low type of cotton, despised by many, but always a standard favorite for poor or average soil.
