"While the plant is used to a consideraVjle extent for the production of fiber in 

 Mexico, I think it is doubtful whether it could be used for this purpose profitably in 

 this country with our present facilities for cleaning fiber. It is a rather striking 

 ornamental plant, with its large open panicle of pinkish or purplish flowers, followed 

 by pear-shaped, dark-purple seed pods. I would recommend it especially for plant- 

 ing in dry situations in parks and in the Southern States. In the northern part of 

 its range in Mexico it must endure winter temperatures down to zero, and if planted 

 in well-drained soils and protected by a mulch in winter, it will doubtless survive out 

 of doors in the parks of the Southern States." {Deicey. )
