| Notes: | Label source: Grows readily in almost any soil. Gives ? at 4 months but is not as easily extracted as Musk okroe. Good colour and moderate strength but the filaments are much interlaced which would lead to them being much broken in preparing them for sp, inning. We think however that it would meet with market at 14 pounds sterling per ton 30 Sept 1891 | ||||
