Raffia for Tying 
Raffia is the straw colored inner skin of a palm found in Mada¬ 
gascar. It is very strong and tough but soft and flexible, which 
makes it the very best material for tying vegetables, plants, vines, 
etc. It is better than twine, as it does not cut the plants and is 
much stronger. It is also used for making baskets. Raffia comes in 
hanks from 1 to 5 lbs. We offer the best grade. Price per pound, 
30c, not postpaid.
