The Teasel or Teazel is a valuable plant, a native of the south of Europe, naturalised in some parts of England, and grows well in the Southern Hemisphere. The heeds are cut off when the plant is in flower, and are used in woollen factories for raising the nap on cloth. No mechanical contrivance has yet been found to equal the teasel for this purpose. Cultivated in Trance and Holland, it is largely imported 'into Britain. It is also cultivated to some extent in Somersetshire and Yorkshire,' The flowers of the teasel abound in honey, and the seeds are used for feeding pdhltry. David killed Goliath by means of a sling. Men are often knocked out yet by a gin* sling.
