C. nam North American Hemp and Cotton Plant, We noticed tbe fact sumo time since, in hut l the Merchants' Magazine, of the discovery The) of this singular production, by a Mrs. Beau- and mont, growing wild in the southwest part fusei of Wisconsin. The discoverer, as we learn, wottl has since cultivated it with great success, that Laving now some fifteen or sixteen acres of he w it growing on her farm. A correspondent each of "Life Illustrated," has furnished that my t journal with an interesting description of liked the plant; and tho editors have seen speci- title, mens of the produce, and expressed their Anol surprise at the value of the discovery. Mrs. wliis Beaumont thus describes it: hiin, "Froin a single root that I transplanted, anotl there sprung up abujjt twenty stalks, meas- this uring fifteen to seventeen feet in height, left t Laving upwards of three hundred nods con- footi mining the cotton, with about fifty to sixty n kn seeds in each pod. It can be planted in my i the spring, and cut in the fall; it bleaches iny I itself altflost white as it stands in tho tiehl; tired, and yields from threo to four tons of good for t< hemp or flax to the acre. The hemp or the \ flax is tho produce of the stalk, and the cot- friou ton is the head or bulb of the plant. It re- "\ quires but little labor to cultivate it, for folio' when once planted, it will remain in the a pb ground for several years, throwing out fresh hunt! shoots and stalks every year. The hemp, ley. when stripped from the stalk, requires to creas be dressed, of course, and the flax should wooc . be hackled in tho usual way; tho cotton, were too, should bo dressed with a cotton gin, ly In tho same as they dress cotton grown in the eat. South. I believe that this plant may bo of wi cultivated in any part of the world, and i nam think it will grow and thrivoon almost any one < soil, if it is not loo still; but rich black loam We suits it the best." culle< The discovery of this valuable plant anne proves at once that cotton can he (frown at six h the North as well as at the South, and it kille< may produce a great revolution in the cot- our i too trade.
