Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Standard Cyclopedia of Modern Agriculture and Rural Economy, Vol. 7: By the Most Distinguished Authorities and Specialists; Hem-Lan
Generally, hemp is grown either for the fibre alone or for fibre and seed. In the former case the sowing is carried out as described below, and both the male and female plants are pulled up and harvested together about the time of ?owering of the male, which occurs usually in the early part of August. The fibre obtained from the stems at this period is thin and fine, somewhat light in colour, and adapted for the manufacture of the finer kinds of canvas.
