The Flax Plant 



In this country, flax is grown quite extensively, but al- 

 most exclusively for the seed; the stalks being regarded as waste 

 material. There is opportunity for some one to develop a variety of 

 flax in which the seed will retain its present good quali- 

 ties, and the stalk will have a textile fiber of the 

 quality so prized in the European plant.
