Common flax is a native of Britain, where it has been cultivated from time immemorial, and from its hardihood and adaptation to a wide range of temperature, it has been grown in almost every country on the eastern continent, from Egj'pt to the polar circle, and in North America, from Texas to Newfoundland. Hemp, which is supposed to be a native of India, but long since acclimatized and exten- sively cultivated in Spain, Italy, and several other countries in Europe, particularly in Poland and Ru...s- sia, as well as in different parts of America, also forms an article of primary importance in commerce, and is of extensive utility. Both of these products were in- troduced into the North American colonies soon after their settlement by the English. They are mentioned as growing in New England prior to 1632 ; and boun- ties were offered for their cultivation in Virginia as early as 1751. Captain , Matthews sowed yearly both hemp and flax, which he caused to be spun and woven, prior to the year 1648.
