THE LARGEST PRODUCING COTTON
IN THE WOULD.
1140 BOLLS, BLOOMS AND SQUARES
TO THE STALK.
I GUARANTEE this variety of -otton to yield
at the late of 5000 lbs. seed cotton to the acre on
rich bottom land, properly prepared and manured
with 200 lbs. commercial fertilizers per acre. I pro
pose to tarnish the above variety of cotton seed to
planters, at the rate of one dollar per quart, with the
distinct understanding that these seed will be planted
the first year on rich bottom land, pledging myself
as a gentleman and man of honor, to return the
amount, if it does not average 500 bolls to the stalk,
or yield at the rate of 5000 lbs seed cotton to the
acre. This cotton is to be planted in rows 6 feet
apart, and in the drill to stand feet, single stalk
to the hill. On medium hill land, properly prepared,
with 250 lbs. good commercial fertilizers to the acre,
this cotton willyield 2500 to 3000 lbs. seed cotton to
the acre—stalks to stand X 3. These seed can
only be had from the subscriber.

S. A. Echols,
I planted this year about one hundred and fif
ty seed of the above variety. While in attend
ance as a member of the Georgia Legislature,
my son Thomas counted on one of these stalks
1140 bolls, blooms and squares. On rich bottom
land, planted in rows 0 feet, and each stalk to
stand in the drill, 4£ apart, it will grow-from 8
to 10 feet high, and produce from 500 to 800 and
1000 bolls to the stalk. It is the most prolific cot
ton in the world —staple usual length, good and
easily picked.

SOUTHERN CULTIVATOR—ADVERTISEMENTS.
To Cotton Growers!
“EXCELSIOR.”
Containing Ammonia, 6 per cent.
Super-Phospliate equivalent to Rone-
Phosphate of Lime, 57 “ “
Potash and Soda, 5 “ “
We again call the attention of the Planters of Geor
gia to our EXCELSIOR, composed of 700 pounds of
No 1 Peruvian Guano, and 1,300 pounds of Soluble
Phosphate of Lime (bones thssolved in sulphuric
acid,) potash and soda, forming the most concentra
ted, universal and durable fertilizer ever offered to
the farmer combining all the stimulating properties
of Peruvian Guano, and the ever durable fertilizing
properties of Ground Rones.
Excelsior is in fine dry powder, prepared expressly
so“ drilling, and can be applied in any quantity per
acre, however small; and it is the opinion of many
close calculating Planters, after ELEVEN years expe
rience in testing it side by side with other popular
fertilizers that an application of 1<»0 pounds of Kxcel
sior is equal to 200 to 300 pounds of anv other fertili
zer or guano offered for sale, therefore is fully 100
to l> oo per cent cheaper.
The very best evidence ice can offer of the vtd
ue of our Excelsior as a crop grower and fertilizer ,
is the fact of its being imitated and counterfeited in
this and other cities.
fW 3 Planters should see that the
Analysis and name of J. J.
TURNER & CO., are branded on
every bag in RED LETT ERE.
All others are counterfeits.

“ Excelsior” on Cotton, and will certify to its
