Overview

Excerpt from Books for the Country Price One Shilling: Flax and Hemp, Their Culture and Manipulation Those differences of climate which appear to offer the principal obstacle to the propagation of foreign plants, have but little influence on the naturalization of hemp, especially, in almost every habitable country on the face of the globe. Extremes of latitude are of but little consequence with vegetable productions which come to perfection in a very short interval of time, and at a season of the year which differs but little from the same season in regions far removed. The height of summer offers no great dissimilarity of temperature between the equator and the polar circle; it is sometimes even hotter high in' the north than under the tropics, while the continuity of genial sunshine makes up for the briefness of its entire duration. This singular advantage allows an immense extension to the culture of both flax and hemp; and they, perhaps, next to wheat, are the plants that have shown the greatest facility to make themselves at home in climates the most opposite.
