“A worker picks up a long, dry plant stalk. With deft motions he strips it of excess, brittle peel until he holds a perfectly smooth, long piece. ... The job just described is part of small plant industry that is found in the mudland region around Savannah, New York ... [and] supplies both flag and rush (plants that grow in abundance in the nearby swamps) to antique chair makers in New England (rush) and to barrel makers in the Midwest (flag).” From the “Flag and Rush Industry of Savannah, New York” by Hugo Freund and Amy Rashap
