AGAVE rigida, var. Sisalana. (Erroneously known as the "Maguey" plant in parts of Florida.) The Sisal Hemp. The Cabulla or Sosquil Henequin of Central America and Yucatan. Produces one of the most valuable known fibers for rope, cordage, etc. Introduced from Yucatan by Dr. Perrine in 1838 ; now naturalized, and found wild in some localities on the Keys. When capital and manufacturing enterprise shall have been more directed towards the fiber interests of Florida, and people have begun to consider other sources of wealth than the all- pervading orange, thousands of acres of other- wise worthless land will be planted out in Sisal Hemp in South Florida, and its manufacture and culture will undoubtedly become one of the leading industries of the state. It is now at- tracting much attention in Florida and the West Indies. We are the most extensive dealers in this plant in Florida, having supplied them in lots of 100,000. 10 cents each, 80 cents per doz., $4 per 100. Lowest wholesale price per 1,000 is $25. Our plants are recommended by Kew Gardens, England, as genuine. 70S~ For general collection of Agaves, Dasy- lirions, Fourcroyas, Yuccas, etc., useful and ornamental, see Tillandsias a
