cultivation, boll, in Britain ;,nd in Australasia— but most 

 all the feeds brought by voyagers, lost their powers of 

 vcgela'iion. 



Singular however, as it seemed, the identical plant 

 was at last found nourishing luxuriantly in the south of 

 Ireland, in several gardens in VVatciford, Cork, Limer- 

 ick, Louth, Dublin and Wicklow counties, la iludu 52^ 

 and 53=. In one garden it had flouri>hed for 30 years, 

 or from its first introduction in 1788, and had been found 

 perfectly hardy, during which time it had been only 

 twice but slightly affected by frost in the tops of its 

 leaves. 



If hardy in Ireland, it may be hardy here. Yet though 

 cur winters may be more severe, our summers would 

 be productive of a growth far more luxuriant than theirs, 

 as the peach and the maize both flourish here, but will 

 nut grow well there. 



A factory to employ from 2(tO to 300 workmen, and 

 on a most extensive scale, was begun in 1831, at Giims- 

 by in Yorkshire, Eigl.nd, for the purpose of manufac- 

 turiror cordage and canvass from the New Zealand flax 

 exclu"sively.° For this material, they relied on Mew 

 Zealand and Australasia, where its cultivation has al- 

 ready commenced. 



Kespeclfully your friend, 



William Kenrick.
