Yield, fiber, and seed properties were compared between nine pairs of glanded and glandless cottons ( Gossypium hirsutum L.). Three replicates of paired‐row plots were planted at Jackson, Tennessee, in 1975. On the average, seedcotton yield was less in glandless than in glanded cottons, possibly a result of poor adaptation of some lines to the location. Among other properties, the only important difference found between glanded and glandless cottons, as groups, was in lint percentage. The higher lint percentage of the glandless entries appeared to relate to their smaller seed size.
