[L. usiratissimum Linn. Flax.—This plant is still seen 
in Kerry as a casual about roads and field-sides and on 
railway tracks, but its cultivation in the county as a crop 
has practically died out within the last twenty years. About 
1890, narrow strips of flax were not infrequently noticed 
growing alongside other cottage crops, but are now (1914) 
very rarely, if ever, seen; the increased comfort of the 
cottagers, and cheapness of linen no doubt fully account 
for the abandonment of this rather troublesome crop.]
