MALE AND FEMALE HEMP PLANTS 
At the left is the female or pistillate plant, at the right the staminate or male. In addition 
to the difference in flowers, the two sexes differ markedly in habit of growth, as is seen. 
By mutilation, each sex can be induced to take on the characters of the other; a change 
which may be due to interference with the plant’s normal process of nutrition. Photo-
