Sisal Hemp

Along with other crops, Expedition members were instructed to observe Sisal hemp throughout their travels. Ingraham and party were able to see two operations firsthand: Commodore Ralph Munroe's operation in Cocoanut Grove where Charles Richards Dodge set up a Van Buren machine for his experiments, and the Florida Fiber Company's new Middle River plantation.
