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. ADDRESS, m. EJ. OLMES, ATLANTA, GA. REFER TO M. G. Dobbins, Atlanta, Ga. 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. M. SHACKELFORD, Franklin P. 0., Heard county, Georgia. Dec 70 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. — IU3P The following gentlemen have used our “ Excelsior” on Cotton, and will certify to its excellence and superiority over all other fertil izers : Nathan McCollum, Burke county Ga.
