Subject: Cotton anyone?

On a recent trip, I picked up a small bag of something called seed
cotton at an airport souvenir shop.  I would like to grow a few 
plants from the seeds it contains, but need some information before
I get started:
---Will it work at all? Does seed cotton undergo any processing that 
   would inhibit germination?
---Conditions required for germination (light, darkness, 
   pre-treatments, temperature, etc.) Germination time (days)
---Conditions for growing plants (full sun and warm temperatures??)
---Size of plants
---When to harvest
---Is cotton annual or perennial? Is it hardy in Zone 7?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help fill in the blanks.
