"Flax," says Professor Low, "being a native plant, is sufficiently hardy to endure the climate of this and other northern countries. It has, indeed, a wide range of tem- perature, being cultivated, and for the like purposes, from Egypt almost to the polar cir- cle." The wild flax grows in corn-fields, and gravelly or sandy pastures; but, when culti- vated, it thrives most luxuriantly in deep rich mould, but particularly in untilled alluvial soils. Its roots sink very deep when it has room ; and... it is generally said that the roots of good flax should strike into the soil to a depth equal to half the length, at least, of the stem above ground. A porous subsoil, or one that is well drained, is therefore essential. In Flanders, flax may be considered as a staple commodity, and a great portion of the population of that country is employed in preparing large quan- tifies for exportation ; the cultivation and pre- paring of it, is, therefore, most perfectly under- stood, and the Dutch flax is always well dressed, and of the finest q\iality.
