I bought one hundred of Berry’s Early Big 801 l Coi'.ou seed, and am well pleased with it. It is as good as the best, if not the best 1 ever saw. Chas T. Elliott. • Flippen, G&. Fort Valley, Ga., Oct 4, 1900. Mr J. L. Berry—Deal Sir: I have tried Berry’s Early Big 801 l Cotton. I find it to be tbe largest and finest big boil cottou I have ever used, and it is the finest cottou 1 have ever planted. Your friend J. C. Crow. A Note of Warniug to the Cotton R*i sers of the South. Hampton, Ga., Oot. 6, 1900. Wheu rneu tell you they have the same vatiety of cottou, or something as good as Berry’s Early Big 8011, don’t you bo deceived, for they are mistaken. Mr. Gao. W Truitt, of Troup county, toldjuie last year at tbe State fair that Mr. Berry had taken Lis cotton and im proved it. He proposed to send me two bushels of sued, and said if it din’t make the same cotton he would give me the seed. I planted it on as good a plat ot laud as 1 know of in my section an! Mr. Berry will make twice as much to the acre on much poorer land I al so planted a test patch of the Truitt seed, he Russell b’g boll, the Jones improved, and a N. S cotton, uame urhn w», and Berry’s Early Big 8011, ana fertilized them all alike, and Ber ry’s Early Big 801 l boie much tbe lar gest bolls aud mauy more of them, tbe ttalfcs beiug weighted to the grouud. I am tati-fied it will make one third more per ac e thau auy variety I have ever seen, tbe staple being much better than any 1 uver saw. I want to say there is no resemblance or comparison between Berry’s Early Big 801 l and Truitt’s cottou, and the man that buys Tiuitt’s expecting to improve and get Berry’s will be where Moses was when his candle went out. I have been watch ing after the growing cf it (Berry’s) three years, aDd have never seen any cotton !i ve if.* Very respectfully, • J. T. Fiklds <\>lituil>n* Sirn-i Fair.
