Sisal And Henequen Plants Yielding Fiber For Binder Twine PDF Download

Excerpt from Sisal and Henequen, Plants Yielding Fiber for Binder Twine Florida by Dr. Henry Perrine in 1834 to 1838. Few-henequen plants survived, but the sisal plants grew and spread to many places on the keys and along the coast from Point Jupiter on the east around to Tampa on the west. Bulbils from these plants, naturalized in Flor ida, have been distributed to many tropical countries. Regulations, very strictly enforced by fiber producers in Yucatan and Campeche, have prevented the exportation of bulbils or suckers from the Yuca tan Peninsula. All sisal plants may be traced either directly or indirectly to Florida. Sisal is now regularly cultivated on large plantations in Kenya Colony, Tanganyika, Portuguese East Africa, Senegal, Dahomey Sumatra, Java, India, and Haiti. The most extensive production is in tropical east Africa and in Java and Sumatra. Numerous efforts to establish the production of sisal fiber in Florida on a commercial scale have proved unsuccessful.
