From Dublin, Ireland. Received thru Hogg & Robert.son, December 29, 1904. 



"The cultivation of this j)lant is suited only to waste lands which are unfit for 

 more profitable cultures. In portions of northern France, the Netherlands, Eng- 

 land, and Ireland the ]ilant is utilized successfully as fodder, being cut and passed 

 thru a special shredding machine, which reduces the spines to a harmless jMiIp. 

 In the Madeira Islands, J. B. Blandy informed me that it was very keenly relished 

 by cattle and furnished an excellent fodder for milk-])roduciiig purposes. The i)lant, 

 altho not a tender species, will jirobably not l)e hardy in the Northwest, but should 

 be tried in regions with a climate similar to that of England and Ireland, on rocky, 

 barren hillsides where other plants will not thrive." {Fairchikl.)
