TEXTILE FIBRE FROM BROOM TREE.—A likely new textile fibre, produced from the Genista (broom tree) in Melbourne, Australia, by two Greek-born residents, has created keen interest in the textile industry there. Two brothers, Demetrius and Efthimios Kondos, of Lithgow street, Abbotsford, Melbourne, claim that it can be used for linen goods, as well as canvas, sacking, rope and string. In the illustration above, the brothers show the fibre in its early stages of processing (right) and the higher grade (left) produced as an end result.
