seeds are planted in April. and the
growth is rapid. The seeds were OBJ
tanned from Il bale of cotton from the

cheap varieties widely grown in that
section. The cotton blossoms are of a
reddish hue and quite fragrant TO
mature the commercial cotton in this
latitude requires Il rather favored sea-

frosts The experiment was tried out
of curiosity and for the sake of the
sight of crop so novel in this iati-

experimenters TO take the matter up
