Two short encyclopedia entries from the New International Encyclopedia on sisal hemp (Agave sisalana) and sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea). They cover where each plant grows, how it is cultivated, harvested and processed into fibre, typical yields, and uses such as rope, binder twine, cables and canvas. The second page is a colour plate, 'Fibre Plants', showing ramie, jute, bowstring hemp, hemp and cotton.
