How Cloves Grow.

Glover are the unexpanded flower
buds of a beautiful evergreen tree
which grows only in tropical coun.
tries, The buds are at first a pale
color and gradually become green,
after which they develop into a
bright red, when they are ready for
collecting
During the drying process they
are exposed to the smoke of wood
fire and then to the action of the sun,
which accounts for their dark brown
color when ready for the market.
The Glove tree, which attaius a
height of 80 feet is native of a small
group of islands in the Indian archi-
pellgo called the Spice islands. but
in the last four centuries it has been
carried to all the warmer parts of
the world.
Gloves were one of the principal
oriental spices which early excited
the cupldity of western commerce
communities, having been the basis
of a rich and lucrative trade since
the early part of the Christian era.
