2 Cotton (Peru)
Peru produces on an average about 250,000 bales of cotton per annum. There are three varieties grown very different from each other in their general characteristics Peruvian Sea Islands - This is an inferior Sea Islands cotton; and though it has a fairly long staple and a silky appearance it is more irregular, both as to colour and length of staple than the pure Sea Islands grown in the United States It has a length of about 13/8-in Rough Peruvian - This is a harsh wiry cotton, with a staple of about 11/4-in. It is an indigenous variety, and is the product of a perennial plant, which attains a height of about 10 feet. On account of its very harsh fibre this cotton is used chiefly or mixing with wool, with which it has some properties in common Smooth Peruvian - Smooth Peruvian is a soft class of cotton, very similar to American from which cotton it is not improbably descended. It constitutes about 70 per cent of the crop. Staple 11/8-in. -

4 Barbadoes Cotton
The original name of American cotton, which was first introduced into America from the islands of the Barbadoes group. It grows freely in the West Indies, and gives a long staple fibre, is silky, fair colour and fine quality. The botanical name is Gossypium Barbadense and Sea Islands, Egyptian and Peruvian cottons are of the same class. The plant was originally from 6 to 8 feet in height, but owing to variation in the conditions of its cultivation its height is now 3 to 4 feet.
