Excerpt from Cotton, Pickers, Cotton Cards, Drawing Rolls, Railway Heads and Drawing Frames, Combers, Fly Frames

The species known as Gossypium herbaceum grows from 2 to 6 feet high and is found native or exotic in Northern Africa and in Asia; it is also largely cultivated in the United States of America.

The Gossypium arboreum grows to the height of 15 or 20 feet, whence it derives the name of tree cotton. The seeds are covered with a short green fiber. While the plant is found in Asia, it is most largely cultivated in Central and South America.

The Gossypium hirsutum is a shrubby plant, its maxi mum height being about 6 feet. The young pods are hairy; the seeds numerous, free, and covered with firmly adhering green down under the long white wool.
