Normal fuzzy strains of cotton were grown in 1985 in a ratio of one fuzzy row to two rows of a dominant naked seeded strain. Open pollinated seed from the fuzzy strains were grown in the 1985-86 Winter Nursery in Mexico. Forty-six percent of the seed returned from Mexico were naked F₂ hybrids. The naked F₂ seed were separated from the fuzzy seed and grown in replicated yield trials in 1986. In general, these F₂'s had a lower yield, a lower percent lint and smaller bolls than standard cultivars. However, an F₂ of a Coker 315 naked x DPL 90 had a higher yield than the cultivars with an acceptable percent lint.
