Note 189 — Chapter VIII
Reading edition
Early in 1862 I sent, kindly assisted by D. Pellon, four samples of cotton, growing almost wild about Clarence, to the African Association at Liverpool. They were described as follows:—
1. Gossipium vitifolium, good colour, uneven, staple equal to middling Orleans, considered worth 13¼d. to 14d.
2. „ „ good staple, rather yellow, very clean; value the same.
3. Gossipium tricuspidatum, dull colour, uneven staple, mixed with short; clean, worth 12½d.
4. „ „ colour too yellow, good strong staple, equal to Egyptian; when clean worth 16½d.
