Grow In Salty Soil, Defyins Hurrl
canes OF the Tropics.
The cocoanut means q great deal
to the West Indian negro, says
Country Life. A dark-skinned man
ran lightly up the tall stem. with
suspiciously prehensile feet, stopping
at the fruit cluster to select and pull
off a great nut, which he tossed &c
the ground. examined 1t with Gu.
riosity, for II was little enough like
the cocoanut Of the stores in the
north. A smooth green covering,
hard, impervious TO anything but
heavy knife--no wonder the cocoa
palm spreads among these islands!
Boat-shaped. in sense; light enough
to float easily, the big seed is always
ready for sea voyage. Cast ashore
on a sandy beach, II quickly germin
ates and holds fast in the salty soil,
soon growing 10 its estate of beauty
and fruitfulness and able to defy the
hurricanes of the tropics.
Restful as were the isolated cocoa
palms, 1t was not until | came upon
a real grove of them that | could
fully appreciate the tropical latitude.
A visit to "Crusoe beach" fringed by
the great palms, hanging full of heavy
nuts, with liberty to wander where
the sandy Lround-it was winter,
mind you!-was covered, not with
fallen leaves of GA: and beech, but
with great fronds eight or ten feet
long dropped from the clean-stemmec
giants with featherduster heads
this took away the last memory OF
the ice-bound and coal-smokcd north.
