Raffia for Tying 
Raffia is the straw-coJored inner skin of a palm found in 
Madagascar. 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 bas- 
kets. Raffia comes in hanks of from 1 to 5 pounds. We offer 
the best grade. Price per pound, 45c, not postpaid.
