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 on
the fruit Of the Musas. The banana was gen.
orally considered 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 Of the staple foods of the
natives of the warm and temperate regions of
the Montana. In spite Of the uncertainty
to Just which country may claim the fruit as
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 a voyage from Cuba,
brought into New York. as commercial VEN
ture consignment Of 80 punches: but the
real beginning of the trade dates back to 1866.
when Mr.. Charles Flank undertook the i'm
