DICKSON'S
EXTRA COTTON.
rjIIIE Miccess of cotton raising depends much upon
1 good seed and high manuring. When your Barn
yard manure is exhausted purchase the best com
mercial manure that can he had The best commer
cial manure I have used is tin Eureka, which can be
had from Messrs. F. \V r . Sims Cos., Savannah, Ga.
CULTIVATION OF COTTON.
If planted in a dry soil, in a warm climate, culti
vate the land flat, not on beds; but if the land is cold
and dump, or bottom, or in a cold climate for cotton,
plant on high beds, and keep them so in the cultiva
tion. When planted on rich land, have wide rows,
with a thick stand in the drill, to prevent too large
weed, and to make it mature early. When the plant
is about (I inches high, plow deep if the land is stiff,
subsoil deep if you can, and after that plow very
shallow with wide sweeps, set to run very shallow,
so as not to break the small roots between the rows.
Top about the Ist of August, but it planted on rich
or bottom land, not until the 10th of August.
Brice of the seed $5 per bushel, for less than five
bushels ; or $4 per bushel for five bushels or upwards.
1 ulso have a good lot of Dickson's Improved Seed,
at the reduced price of $2 per bushel. Persons wish
ing to raise premium crops would do well to purchase
my Extra Seed. Send the money byExprts* or in
a Registered letter. Give directions what route to

CERTIFICATES.
Boston, Thomas County, Ga., Sept. 2, 1870.
David Dickson.— Dear Sir:— Your Extra Seed I
planted last Spring is decidedly the best cotton I
have ever seen, and so ail say that have seen the cot
ton. Yours truly, D. A. HORN.
Clinton, La., August 11th, 1870.
David Dickson, Oxford, Ga.
Dear Sir: —The Dickson S.eed I planted last Spring
has never been surpased in tins section of country.
I wish iny w r hole crop was of your Seed.
Yours, Respectfully, CHARLES P. DELEE.
Dooly County, Ga., August 3rd, 1870.
Mr. David Dickson —Dear Sir I did not have
seed enough of yours to plant my crop, and had to
finish with the common seed. The difference be
tween it and the Dickson select is great; it is not more
than half as good. Y'ours, truly,
JOHN G. THOMAS.
German Town, Tenn., Nov. 15th, 1868.
Mr David Dickson Dear Sir: Forthe last 35years
I have planted 23 varieties of cotton, and the Dick
son cotton is the best of them all.
Very respectfully, B. W. BEDFORD.
Jasper co., Texas, Feb 1, 1870
David Dickson—Dear Sir: I planted four acres
thin land,hill-side, last spring, with your Improved
Cotton Seed, and made four large bales cotton. I
think it the most productive cotton I ever saw. It
opened very early. \ r ours, truly, W. C. PRICE.
Vernon, Ala., Aug. 20, 18<*8.
Mr D. Dickson—Dear Sir: The cotton crop in this

section is almost an entire failure, caused by too
much rain, and the worm ; but your cotton matured
a, fair crop before the worm came along. Your cot
ton will make double as much as my other cotton;
it is far the best cotton I ever saw, either for rich or
poor land. Respectfully, Ac. J. THOMPSON:
Sand Ford, Fla., July 80,1368.
Mr David Dickson—Dear Sir: I have 55 acres
planted in your cotton. I Min satisfied that your cot
ton, in the aggregate, will excel the common cotton
fully 50 per cent. I have about 575 acres fplanted in
cotton, and consider that I have lost $5,000 by not
having it all planted with the Dickson seed
Very truly yours, J. B. STRIPLIN.
