An encyclopedia entry on the teasel (teazel) plant, cultivated for its burred heads used to raise the nap on woollen cloth. It covers soils, sowing, cultivation, harvesting and grading of the heads (kings, middlings, scrubs), and how manufacturers mount them on frames around a cylinder. It also distinguishes male, fullers' and linnot teasels by use, and notes a medicinal use of the wild teasel.
