Studies of the Cotton Plant

Abstract

I SHOULD be sorry if any reader of NATURE were to be prejudiced against perusal of my book on applied plant physiology, called “The Development and Properties of Raw Cotton”, by thinking that I had attempted to write on the systematic botany of Gossypium. Yet this impression might easily obtain, since your reviewer devotes exactly two-thirds of his review to a few pages of my first chapter, the title of which, “The Development of Pedigree”, is alone sufficient to indicate that it was not intended for biologists.
