DescriptionCorn and cotton plants grow together in front of a wooden fence. The dark green leaves and corn husks rise up on the left, contrasting with the fluffy white bits of cotton that burst from the tops of the woody stems on the right. New blooms of cotton flowers at the bottom and ripe ears of corn just above them promise future harmonious growth.
