Aid its growth.'
Extract from Gov. Call of Florida.
The "Bar Grass" mav be prepared lor
CJse it 'any season, and if the planter had n
sufficient crop he might employ the wine
year in its prepura'ion without siutamins
env loss from its depreciation or destruc
tion, by recntinr g too long un the ground
Bix months growth will give a plant of
good use, and tne Hemp made fro u uucl
o plant wiiJ be a 5 long end posr-.es qune
fis much strength as that made from grea
ter ae. But it wilt have fewer leavos,
nd will therefore produce less fibre. I
thiak it a fair estimate, that the "Boar
Grass" atter i is well rooted nnd in good
growth. Kill produce thrtcfull crops every
tttentyfovr months.
' Tn-ivi' will ' require planting but once
in on ordinary lire time, and toitk but lit
tle cultivation" wit) ront ije io p- dn:
its abundant crop? ofSff er six tons per a
ere li preparation .for maruet is as simple
end trpedifiousn its production -s aha:i
clttiit. 'I'hu hav been sviciently tested.
After b aling the le ives and putting ih-m
