have remained in the city for days, but
they are now being taken to the open

species and varieties, and is to
be found almost everywhere be-
tween the tropics Of Cancer and
Capricorn, extending its limits
a few degrees to the north and
south in some cases.

banana-tree, so-called, attain a
respectable size, the species most
generally cultivated for the
fruit are the kind that average a
Leight of four feet. The small

variety, one that is comparatively
unknown in our northern mar
l,cts, but the one almost exclu-
siyely eaten in lands where the
banana is grown.
