Uncle Rays Corner

Not long ago a 5-year -old boy
planted Victory garden of his own.
Then he walked to a nearby tennis
court to watch the games being
played there, while his father and
mother planted more seeds. Re
turning half an hour later, the little
fellow asked his parents, Has any
thing started growing veto
No seeds will sprout and come
above the ground in half an hour.
but there is a certain kind of plant
which We can almost see growing
I am thinking Of species of the
bamboo which has name meaning
giant tree reed"
The giant tree reed is a native
plant on the island of Ceylon In a
single day it may grow from Is to
Is inches taller!
There are more than 200 kinds of
bamboo. Several kinds are natives
of North America, South America
and Africa, but Asia is the conti-
nent where they are found in great
est number. India, China and the
Malay Peninsula have vast bamboo
forests"
When We speak of forest, we
are apt to think of many trees and
shrubs together. A bamboo for
est however, is without trees The
Evening star., 1945-05-31
Not This

bamboo is classed as tall grass,
not as a tree.
The height which a bamboo plant
will reach depends on which kind
it is. Some barnboos grow to be
only or feet tall. Others may
have a height of from 25 to 40 feet
Still others may get to be from 100
to 120 feet tall.
In the same way the stems OF
bamboos differ in thickness. Some
like those used for fshpoles, are
only about an inch thick Other
bamboo stems are from 10 to If
inches thick
1t is an old bamboo custom tc
grow straight upward. The plants
do not branch until the full height
is reached. but branching does take
place in the upper parts. Some
bamboos have SO many branche:
and leaves that they look like trees
Yet there is something about the
stem which is not treelike. The
stem is jointed, having joints such
as those you may find, on a small
order, in a grass stalk.
Usually the distance between
bamboo joints is between 8 and Il
inches. At each joint there is q
thin. woody partition. In two kinds
of South American bamboo the
spaces between the joints are filled
with clear watery liquid which
is fit to drink.
