    GENETICS LEADS TO BETTER COTTONS • High yielding, high quality cottons are the results of scientific plant breeding made possible by the rediscovery of Gregor Mendel's works fifty years ago and by the advancement of genetics during the past half-century. In recognition of these facts we join in commemorating the fiftieth Anniversary of the beginning of the science of genetics. For twenty-nine years we have applied the discoveries in genetics to the scientific breeding and testing of cottons. This has resulted in the development of the Delfos and Stoneville varieties which are outstanding both in yield and quality. These varieties are grown in cotton producing countries throughout the world, providing mankind with more and better fiber and food. Such accomplishments would not have been possible without the discoveries in genetics. STONEVILLE PEDIGREED SEED CO. Breeders of DELFOS and STONEVILLE COTTONS STONEVILLE, MISSISSIPPI
