Alabama Bulletins 138, 140. A standard variety which has become, perhaps, the most popular cotton grown in Texas. It was develcjped from Bohemian cotton by the Rowden Brothers, Wills Point, Van Zandt County, Tex. The seed was first obtained by H. H. Carmack, of Wills Point, in the fall of 1897 when traveling through the bottoms of the Sulphur Fork abcjut 50 miles north of 'an Zandt County. Mr. Carmack states that he found an excellent variety in cultivation on the bottom land and obtained a couple of bolls of the grower, who told him it was the Bohemian cotton. These bolls were given to Mr. Rowden, who was then a renter on the Carmack farm, and the Rowden cotton was developed from them. By a mistake Mr. Rowden supposed the seed to be of Florida origin. Rowden cotton is medium early in maturity and is well adapted to the weevil con- ditions of Texas. Plants vigorous, but stocky in growth; limbs stout, 1 to 3; fruiting branches from 2 feet at the base to G inches at the top in length; joints regular and of medium length, the branches and usually the whole plant drooping beneath the weight of maturing bolls, which hang downward when ripe, the locks of cotton cling- ing together in a single mass, which hangs down beneath the open boll, protected by.
