Besides the products mentioned in this booklet, attempts were made to grow or produce other items at or near "James Citty"including cordage, silk-grass, dyes, salt, flax, hemp, alum, white earth, walnut-oil, minerals, sweet-gums, madder, sugar cane, cotton, citrus fruits, olives, bark, roots, and berries.
