Petit Gulf cotton was a cotton hybrid patented by planter Rush Nutt at his Laurel Hill Plantation in Rodney, Mississippi, in 1833.[1] It was named "Petit Gulf" for the bend of the Mississippi River where it was grown.[2] It proved more resistant than the green seed cotton from Georgia as long as planters followed the breeding process used in Rodney.[3] Indeed, it was said to be less likely to harbor diseases and rot than other breeds of cotton.[4] Moreover, it was easier to pick with a human hand, thus leading to greater productivity.[2]
An eponymous song appears on Justin Townes Earle's 2010 album Harlem River Blues.
