" These date offshoots were wrapt in palm fiber (///) and held in place by 

 cords. They were rather dry. but in general in fairly good condition. Most of 

 the offshoots were small, some not weighing over 10 pounds and only some half 

 dozen weighing over 50 pounds. However, considering the inaccessibility of 

 the region, we ought to be glad to get almost any kind of an offshoot that will 

 grow. I noticed that the variety Saydeli has a large number of small offshoots 

 attached to the sides of those sent, altho, as I stated above, the offshoots 

 are only of medium size, averaging probably 30 to 40 pounds in weight. The 

 collection of Fraakhee consisted of one very large offshoot and three very small 

 ones. The very large offshoot showed a remarkable peculiarity in that the 

 palm fiber, or '/(/",' was still intact, forming a cardboard-like tissue, especially 

 on the right-hand border. If this peculiarity of the interpetiolar sheets of 

 fiber appears constant, this variety will have a very clear distinguishing mark."
