Excerpt from An Address on the Botany of the United States: Delivered Before the Society for the Promotion of Useful Arts, at the Capitol, in the City of Albany, on the 9th Day of February, 1814 The soil best adapted to the Urtica is wet meadow land and it will thrive in ground covered with water many months in the year. It grows also to advantage in a rich, moist, upland loom. It can be raised from the seed or root, as it is a hardy perennial. The seed should be planted in the spring, and the roots in the fall months. If the fibre is wanted for the finest fabrics, the plant should be cut while in full ower but if only for common use, it will yield more by standing till completely ripe. After being cradled, which is the most proper way to cut it, the stalk should he suffered to lie on the ground some days, as the stinging quality which is peculiar to the growing nettle, is thus re moved. The Urtica is rotted in the same manner as hemp, only it requires a longer time for the purpose But it is not affected by the inclemency of the weather.
