A scientific monograph on the physiology and genetics of the Egyptian cotton plant, first published in 1912 and reprinted in 1919. It covers the history of cotton in Egypt, fertilisation and embryology, how temperature, water, roots and light affect growth, flowering and shedding, and the structure and growth of the cotton fibre. Later chapters treat fluctuation, commercial varieties, natural crossing, Mendelian heredity of qualitative and quantitative characters in crosses, and the economics of the Egyptian crop. It includes many graphs, microscope drawings, photographs, statistical tables, a bibliography and an index.
