The stem on which the bud appears grows rapidly above the stalk. As the bud increases in weight the stem bends downward by a graceful curve, on the extremity of which this bud continues till, the purple blossoms falling off, little shoots appear as the embryo fruit. At the end of from three to four months the fruit has grown to maturity, and is picked long enough before it is "dead ripe" to preserve it in marketable condition, from the roots of the parent stalk other shoots appear, which are trimmed out or left to grow, as the cultivator may deem best. A. single stalk bears only one bunch of crop as its life work.

In regions where no frost reaches, bananas are found in all stages of growth, ripening their fruit every month and every day in the year. An estimate by Humboldt claims that forty-four thousand pounds of bananas can be produced on the soil that would be required for one thousand pounds of potatoes, and that the same area would be required to raise wheat enough for oue man, would produce enough bananas to feed twenty-live men.
