East Indies and Australia. Fruit oval; tree 30 feet in height. $ each. 34TJSA. The Banana. This is one of the grandest decorative fruit-plants known. A plant that is ► grown throughout the tropics, bearing in lavish profusion most delicious fruit. At the present day the fruit is found in nearly every market in the world, no matter, seemingly, how distant from the tropics. The plant is already being grown to a limited degree in northern climates, and well it may, as it is as easily raised as the well-known canna, and the tropical effect of its growth is remarkably grand. With leaves often 2 feet wide and 8 long, it is destined to be largely planted on lawns. Young plants may be started at any season of the year, provided they are kept in sufficient heat—say not less than 700 day, and 6o° or 650 night. The best time, however, is early spring, when they should be started in pots, and then, when warm weather comes, planted out. Or, plants may be trans- planted directly from the nurseries, if the pre- vailing weather is suitable. Larger plants will be sent by express or freight than can possibly be mailed, as the roots are bulbous. M. Cavendishii (M. regia, M. Chinensis, M. nana).
