Encyclopedia article on cotton (Baumwolle) from the 14th edition of Brockhaus' Konversations-Lexikon. It covers the botany of the Gossypium species, cultivation, harvesting, ginning and baling, and the grading of commercial cotton. A long table gives color, purity, fibre length and thickness, and bale weight for cottons from North and South America, the West Indies, Africa, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Persia, India, China and Japan. The article closes with production, trade, import and price statistics up to 1903, and a note on medical uses and on guncotton and collodion.
