Table of Contents
Of all the fibre-yielding plants known to botanical science there is not one so well calculated to meet the pressing requirements of the Paper-trade as "
Bamboo
, both as regards facility and economy of production, as well as the quality of the
Paper-Stock" which can be manufactured therefrom: grown under favourable conditions of climate and soil, there is no plant which will give so heavy a crop of available fibre to the acre, no plant which requires so little care for its cultivation and continuous production.
The rapidity of the growth of "
Bamboo
is unequalled. At Gehzireh, the gardens of the Khedive of Egypt at Cairo, it has been known to grow nine inches in a single night. At Syon House, the Duke of Northumberland's, stems of
Bambusa Gigantea have attained the height of 60 feet in 12 weeks; and I have made
Paper-Stock from a stem of
Bambusa Vulgaris, sent me by Dr. Hooker, from the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew, which, as measured by the gardener in the Palm-house, grew at the rate of three feet in a single week; at Chatsworth, the Duke of Devonshire's, this same variety (the
Bambusa Vulgaris") has attained the height of 40 feet in 40 days.
Throughout the East Indies the Bamboo
flourishes, forming indeed in many districts impenetrable jungles. It grows abundantly also in the West Indies, in Central and South America, the Brazils, in Africa and Asia; in China especially, and in Japan, the plant is indigenous, and the natives cultivate it carefully, employing it for almost every article of convenience and luxury; in fact, wherever heat and moisture exist, some species of the Bamboo
will be found, or may be readily cultivated.
Attempts have from time to time been made in England, and elsewhere, to obtain from the "
Bamboo
Half-stuff or
Pulp" suitable for the manufacture of paper, and paper indeed has been made therefrom, but hitherto these attempts have neither industrially nor commercially attained successful results, and for the following reasons.
Hitherto the "
Bamboo
" has been collected and treated in a condition more or less of
