86 KNAPP METHOD OF GROWING COTTON 



large, and covered with a thick fuzz, generally 

 brownish white or whitish, a part of the seed 

 of many of these varieties being covered with 

 a deep green fuzz. The per cent, of lint often 

 runs rather low and is usually between 31 and 

 35. The bolls are not closely clustered; in 

 some varieties the upper limbs are so short 

 as to give the top of the plant the erect, slen- 

 der appearance which is common among semi- 

 cluster varieties. In typical plants the base 

 limbs are of short or medium length, the num- 

 ber of fruit limbs and bolls relatively few, 

 and the main stem is rather short. However, 

 a number of varieties are included here that 

 have all or many of their plants of the semi- 

 cluster form.
