| Notes: | Label source: Report on Sterile Cotton seeds, no fungus disease present. The shrivelled seeds do not contain an embryo and the cause of sterility is perhaps imperfect pollination. The reason for this can be determined with certainty on the spot. It may b, e owing to an excess of rain during the flowering period, absence of the necessary insects etc. (Director to Brit Cotton Growing Assoc, 15 Goss St, Manchester) See letter 89 Mar 10 1908 | ||||
