SESAMUM 
Sesamum is an annual of easy culture. It grows to a 
height of about three feet in this climate and the large 
flowers are very attractive to the bees. Apparently if 
the plant were cultivated in sufficient acreage it would 
be a source of surplus honey. It blooms in late summer. 
This plant is grown in very large acreage in the 
tropics and is an important food plant for millions in 
Asia. It is important principally as a source of edible 
oil which is one of the best for table use and congeals 
less readily than olive oil. 
Sesamum has been grown with success at the Ne- 
braska experiment station where a study of its com- 
mercial adaptation is under way.
