Cannabis Sativa (Hemp Plant)
A vigorous annual being largely cultivated for its fibre. In our country it is 4 to 10 ft. high, but in Italy sometimes 20 ft. high. In plants growing singly, the stem is much branched, but in masses is generally simple. It is useful where the tender sub-tropical plants cannot be easily grown, well-grown plants looking graceful. It should be sown in the open ground early in April: to get larger plants it is best to raise it in frames. It loves a warm sandy loam, and is one of the few plants that thrive in small London gardens.”
