There is evidently an idea
abroad concerning the harvesting of
the banana crop" said a man who has
been for years on a plantation in
Honduras.
The statement that foul or five
crops of bananas are harvested a year
II entirely incorrect. A crop is har-
vested on an average Of every fifteen
days throughout the year. Each thrifty
banana plant has many suckers or
stalks growing from a single root at
the same time. One or more punches
Of the ripening fruit are cut from a sin
gle stalk, while the other stalks grow
ing from the same root are left I'M
touched, and in fifteen days another of
the stalks Is shorn of its fruit. This
process continues necessarily during
the year. In July and August it Is
necessary to cut of ther ipening bunch
es every ten days. while in December
and January about once a month is
sufficient, the average throughout the
year being practically fifteen days.
