this should be done sooner. When great part of the pods are expanded, the wool is picked, and afterwards 
cleared from the seeds by a machine called a gin, composed of two or three smooth wooden rollers of about 
one inch diameter, ranged horizontally, close and parallel to each other, in a frame; at each extremity they 
are toothed or channelled longitudinally, corresponding one with the other ; and the central roller being 
moved with a treaddle or foot-lath, resembling that of a knife-grinder, makes the other two revolve in coi{- 
trary directions. The cotton is laid in small quantities at a time upon these rollers, whilst they are in motion, 
and readily passing between them, drops into a sack placed underneath to receive it, leaving the seeds, which 
are too large to pass with it, behind. The cotton thus separated from the seeds, is afterwards hand-picked 
and cleansed thoroughly from any little particles of the pods or other substances which may be adhering to it. 
It is then stowed in large bags, where it is well trod down, tliat it may be close and compact; and the better 
to answer this purpose, some v/ater is every now and then sprinkled upon the outside of the bag; the 
marketable weight of which is usually three hundred pounds. An acre may be expected to produce from 
two hundred and forty pounds to that quantity ; or two hundred and seventv pounds on an average. (Lons's

1482. Redoutea. Named after P. J. Redoute, a celebrated French botanical draughtsman, still living. 
His drawings are inferior to those of the Bauers as accurate representations of nature; but they are 
generally tastefully arranged and please the eye, notwithstanding a coldness of coloring which often injures 
their effect. 
1483. Palavia. In honor of Don Antonio Palau y Verdera, second professor of botany at Madrid, and author 
of an excellent translation of the Species Plantarum of Linnajus in Spanish. 
1484. Cristaria. From crista, a crest, in allusion to the crested form of the capsules. A pretty plant, not 
very easily preserved. It answers better in a peat border than a pot, and is increased by division or seed. 
1485. Anoda. Named by Cavanilles, from a., privative, and 7iodus, an articulation ; because the peduncles 
do not possess the joints which are found in Sida, from which the plants of this genus have been extracted. 
1486. Periptera. So named from the resemblance of the flowers in form to a shuttlecock, Tioimpoc.. 
1487. Sida. A name of Theophrastus, said by some to have been applied to a Malvaceous plant ; but
