Bananas grown for the market planted

Plantations divided into sections or zones
OF about ten to twenty miles In length. md the
zones are "cut" in rotation. thereby cleaning up

them to cut fruit for delivery on specific date

made up and sent out to pick up the fruit. these

The banana has a curious and prodigal meth

The plant has two natural enemies-the

1t is matter OF common observation that
the banana is absolutely seedless, cultivation

The red banana is not common in the Ameri

only to dress" fancy baskets of fruit but in
the tropical countries 1t is quite a favorite. The
individual banana is large. but the stalk does
not carry as many hands the yellow varie
ties, SO as 1t does not bring large price to
the grower and wholesaler, its extensive cultiva-
tion is not encouraged.
Banana culture is one OF the oldest of indus
tries. 1t has been known since the origin of
the human race. Long before the dawn of his
tory In the old world, perhaps long before the
old world rose from the waters man lived
the fruit of the Musas. The banana was gen.
orally considered a native Of southern Asia,
and to have been carried into America by
Europeans until Humboldt threw doubt upon
its purely Asiatic origin, quoting early authors
who asserted that the banana was cultivated
in America long before the conquest. 1t is
claimed that at the time of the Incas in Peru,
bananas formed one of the staple foods of the
natives of the warm and temperate regions of
the Montana In spite OF the uncertainty as
to lust which country may claim the fruit
indigenous. all tropical lands assert their right
to It.
The first importation Of bananas to the
United States occurred in 1904, when the
schooner Reynard. on voyage from Cuba.
brought into New York, commercial
ture a consignment of 80 bunches but the
real beginning of the trade dates back to 1866.
when Mr.. Charles Frank undertook the i'm
portation OF fruit from Colon to New York .
Previous to that venture small cargoes con-
sisting mainly Of the red banana had been re-
ceived at irregular intervals from Cuba. In
1870, Captain Baker. owner OF Cape Cod
schooner, took a charter to carry gold miners
and machinery 900 miles up the Orinoco river
