A stylized spray of cotton shows dark green lobed leaves, creamy white blossoms with yellow-orange centers, and fluffy white bolls emerging from reddish-brown dried bracts against a pale peach and lavender ground. The image treats the cotton plant as a decorative floral subject rather than a field scene. Cotton was the South's dominant cash crop, and its blossom and boll were familiar emblems of the region.
