Experiments that are now being
made with the palmetto in Florida

scrub growth of the. Florida forests

cellent article Of hollow-ware Tor do
meetio:an 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
bage palmetto hos been used with the
tender tops as well, as fibre in the
manufacture of parchment. It is now
proposed to obtain cheap paper fibre
from the ordinary scrub plant. Some
of this pulp has been successfully
worked up by a manufacturing con-
cern in Boston into pals, tubs, basins
and other hollow-ware. The supply of
saw palmetto is practically inexhaust-
iblo 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 Florida
Times Union, commenting on its pro.
jected use, saya that for plant that
grows without cultivation, and in such
inexhaustible quantities, the saw pal
metto bids fair to have "more money
IN it than most of the cultivated crops
of Florida, and adds: "a fibre made
from the leaf can be used profitably
by upholsterers wherever curled hair,
moss, or 'excelsior' is used; the root
oan be turned into brushes of almost
endless forms and innumerable uses;
and the poplar and other wood pulps
Of commerce are now likely TO find
dangerous rival In palmetto pulp"

suffered but little. In the Northwest

farmers. 1 told the ring in this State in
