Experiments that are now being
made with the palmetto in Florida
point to the growth of new and
profitable industry from the prolific
scrub growth of the Florida forests
and fields 1t has been proved that
the leaf of the saw palmetto can be
ground into pulp which makes an ex-
cellent article of hollow-ware for do
mestic and other uses, and the present
experiments are expected to prove the
adaptability of this material to the
making of all kinds of paper. For
some time past the peculiar cabbage
like substance in the top of the cab
bape palmetto has been used with the
tender tops as well, as fibre III the
manufacture of parchment. 1t IL now
proposed to obtain cheap paper fibre
from the ordinary scrub plant. Some
of this pulp has been successfully
worked up by manufacturing con
Germ in Boston into pals, tubs, basins
and other hollow-ware. The supply OF
saw palmetto is practically inexhaust-
;blo in Florida. Millions of acres are
covered with it, and when cut down to
the ground it grows up again two or
three times year. The florlda
Times Union, commenting on its pro-
.iected use, says that for plant that
grows without cultivation, and IN such
inexhaustible quantities, the saw pal
metto bids fair to have "more money
N il than most of the cultivated crops
of Florida, and adds "a fibre made
from the leaf can be used profltnDiy
Inv upholsterers wherever curled hHlr,
moss, or 'excelsSr' is used; the root
can be turned into brushes OF almost
endless forms and innumerable uses
and the poplar and other wood pulP'
of commerce are now likely to ma /"
dangerous rival in palmetto pulp"
