Sea Islands is of the famous Gossypium Barbadense variety and is the finest cotton grown, having a staple of 11/2-in. to 21/4-in. in length, fine in diameter, and regular in natural twist and length. It is clean, strong and elastic, and has a silkiness possessed by no other cotton. It was formerly grown in the islands off the coast of South Carolina, in Georgia and Florida, and the crop varied from 60,000 to 100,000 bales. Since the beginning of the present century it has declined in those districts and finally ceased in 1925. Today the British West Indies are almost the sole source of supply - A small quantity being grown in Fiji from seed procured from the West Indies. The crop now averages 4,000 to 5,000 bales per annum and is slowly increasing.
