Fig. 1.— Side View of the Single-Stalk Row of Blackseed Cotton Shown in 

 Plate I, the Corresponding Plants Being Designated by the Same Letters. 



These 11 plants, with only 2 vegetative branches, produced a total of 88 bolls. Most of the 

 leaves have been removed to show the branching habit and slender form of the plants. 

 Note the lack of crowding. Compare with Plate III, figure 2. (The plants were 8 feet 

 from the camera when photographed.) 



Fig. 2.— Side View of Three Plants in a Wide-Spaced Row of Blackseed 



Cotton. 



These 3 plants bore 11 vegetative branches and produced a total of 67 bolls. They cover 

 the same extent of row space as those in Plate III, figure 1. Most of the leaves have been 

 removed to show the branching habit and bushy form of the plants. (The plants were 8 

 feet from the camera when photographed. )
