A two-page encyclopedia entry on Gossypium, the cotton genus, giving its botanical classification and describing the species G. arboreum, G. Barbadense, G. herbaceum and G. hirsutum. It covers how cotton shrubs are cultivated (soil, exposure, planting, pruning, weeding, harvest timing) and how the seeds are separated from the fibre with a foot-driven roller cotton gin. It cross-refers to the entry COTTON.
