Bananas In America.

When it is remembered that the
United States now takes 100000
punches of bananas annually. and that
the trade is growing steadily, 1t is diff
ficult to realize that the banana was
scarcely known in this country prior
to 1870. About that time the captain
Of vessel trading between Boston
and South America called at Port
Morant. Jamaica. for a consignment
Of bamboo. Having room in the hold
for further cargo he decided to fill In
with bananas. with which he and other
seafarers to the tropics had long beer
familiar. His venture proved so profit
able that the importing of bananas
became regular trade, which has
grown steadily as the popularity of
the banana has increased.
