PLATE VII. SIMPLE BRANCHING. 



A plant of a very atypical strain isolated from Abbassi. Wide-sown, at Giza, September, 1913. 



One-fifteenth natural size. Scarcely any vegetative branches produced (c/. Plate IX.). The 



ripened bolls of the first picking show the " fruiting-scaffolding " of the cotton-plant in its 



simplest form (c/. Figs. 8 and 9, pp. 42 and 44).
