A Rare Plant-Among the many
rare and beautiful things indigen-
Gus and exotic at Belmont Park
are two large banana plants
standing some ten or twelve feet
high which with their green trunks
and great leaves do not fail to at
tract the close attention of the
visitors. There is, however, an ad-
ditional interest in these plants at
this time. One of them has es-
sayed to take on it's full tropical
functions and has sent out a bunch
of blossoms with every prospect
of perfecting cluster of fruit.
The purple sheath that surrounds
the cluster and protects it in it's
first development is now separat-
ing to give the young fruit the full
benefit of light and air. These
plants were brought to Mrs. Speak
man some three years ago by a
friend from Georgia, and have
been remarkably successful in
their development. Except in hot
houses they rarely if ever, make
fruit so far north.
