Of Sii.v Isi.AND CoTTO.x (GossYPiu.vi barbadense). Riuers. Originatcd by a 

 sélection made in 1899 by E. L. Rivers, James Island, S. C. and fnrthcr 

 improved and propagated by him. This is a variety of line quality of staple 

 and good prodnctiveness, but requiring high culture, and therefore doing 

 best on the Carolina Islands. Description : Plant résistant lo will, vigororis, 

 compact, pyramidal, branching near the base: limbs small, smooth, close- 

 joinled, reddish-green ; leaves médium size, deep-lobed ; bolls médium size, 

 I inch by !2 inches, long and poinled, Ihree to four lobed : seed small, black, 

 well covered; per cent, of linl, t.'S: slaplc 'i inches long, cream wbile, fully

CeiUeruille. This variety had ils l)eginning in a sélection made by the 

 wriler for wilt résistance, from a field on Edislo Island in South Carolina. 



From this sti-ain Mr. Rivers selected the plant which was the parent of Cen- 

 terville. This variety is fully wilt résistant and very productive, but inclined to 

 overbear, in which case the bolls niay nol ripen well. Il is notnlije for ils
