TIE Banana.

The Banana.
Tue oansuu has -es>a- >nltixated in some in.
stances, and with a moderate degree Of success,
as far North in our States as South Carolina.
But here it assumes no hardy character. We
have no doubt that along the sandy slopes of
Texas proper pains-taking wsuld make it
flourish. Fruits and flowers acquire hardihood
in colder regions. There was time when it
was thought that che grape cosld not flourish
in Italy, in those very provinces which are now
considered it's native region. We are not to be
discouraged by failures in our experiments.
Perseverance achieves through a Thousand ob-
stacles. Aud the banana is worth many expert
meats. 1t is net only delicious fruit but of
vast imperts ace in all tropical cesntrles
Both in tropical Asia and America, almost
every hut has its plautain tree. In the great
number of different forms of p!antain, the
size, form aud taste of the fruit are exceeding gly
different. The question has long since been
started as to how far this has been derived
from one OF several species In America.
there are oaly two especially distinguishable
forms. The banana de- terra with long,
straight anfdecidedly three-cornered fruit. on
distinct stems. and with q fresh, juicy pulp,)
aud the Banana de ST. 7Home, with smaller
pical Asia and the islands Of the Pacific Ocean
the different forms amount nearly to half q
hundred. Although the Banana has not been
found growing wild in America, with any
degree Of certainty, various points of Asia fur
nish, at present, this plant in its origina! form
a fact which speaks most decidedly for the
question Of its origis, it is rarely propagated
~ seeds. but principally by it's suckers. Rox
burgh found it growing Wild on the coast Of
Coronandcl, Runphius and Blanco on the
Philippines, Loureiro in Cechin- China, Firlay-
son on the small island ei Pulo- Ub, near Siam.
and so on to Ceylon.
The names used for this plant in Asia and
An erica deserve little further attention.. Ia
America ,h,re Id no indigenous name. while
Asia furnishes names in the SanscrIt, Chinese.
.nd Malayan languages, even to the dc6ni,io,
Of the different forms. 1t is very probable
that all the forms of the Banana are derived
