Jackson Iimbless cotton has created
more talk throughout the cotton
growing world than all other varieties
combined. There has been over
5000 people from nearly every state
in the union to visit the farm of Mr..
Jackson near this city, and they are
unanimous in their opinion that it is
the most wonderful and productive
cotton in the world Not limb on
it, it grows from 6 to II feet high,
planted from 6 to 10 inches apart,
rows from to feet wide and has
from forty to one hundred bolls, to
the stalk, so anyone can see why II
will make from to ) bales per acre.
the staple is white and silky and much
longer than common cotton and
brings a much higher price, and it
can be ginned on all ordinary gins.
Yesterday a very prominent farmer
from Mississippi said: 81 have often
heard cotton was king but l never
realized it so fully until today, when
standing on the five-acre cotton patch
of Mr.. Jackson's farm"
Every farmer that goes to see it is
impressed with the idea, not whether
he wants to buy these seed, but
the fact that he must do it to protect
himself and make a success of rails
ing cotton at present prices. This
cotton patch is guarded day and night,
and everybody has an invitation to
come and see this wonderful cotton.
A syndicate of New York men have
bought most of his cotton and they
propose to plant every one of their
seed.

First National bank of Gainesville,
Ga. has for sale some of the Jackson
Llmbless cotton seed at the following

ty-five packages for $50, seventy-five
