THE CUBA REVIEW 



England Likes the Banana. 

 'The banana," savi. the London Chron- 

 icle, "is one of the cnriosities of the vege- 

 table kingdom, being not a tree, a palm, 

 a bush, a shrub, a vegetable or an herb, 

 but a herbaceous plant with the status of 

 a tree. Although it sometimes attains a 

 height of thirty feet, there is no woody 

 fibre in any part cf its structure, and the 

 biniclu'- trrciwiiiij; on the dwarf banana 



plant are often heavier than the stalk 

 which supports them. No plant gives 

 such a quantity of food to the acre as the 

 banana; it yields forty-four times more 

 by weight than the potato, and 133 times 

 more than wheat. Moreover, no insect 

 will attack it, and it is always immune 

 from disease of any kind. Altogether, a 

 highly favored plant, and likely to be- 

 come even more popular in this country 

 tlian it is at the present time."
