—Grow Your Own Swords
TWO or THE WORLD'S
most exceedingly rare plants
grow on the Hawaiian Islands.
One looks as if it has a b«e
full of silver swords and the
other looks as if it is growing
delicious sausages!
Oddly enough, the silver-
■word belongs to the same
family as our rather ordinary
daisy.
But it does not grow in al-
most every type of good soil as
does its daisy relative. No in-
deed! This rare plant likes the'
cinders from a volcano such as
one finds on the crater ilopes
of the House of the Sun!
(Haleakala) volcano on the
Island of Maui and on the high
mountains of Orchid Island.
The silversword grows also
in other non-fertile places—
among rocks or in dry soil.
And now about bw this
strange plant live* up to its
name . . . the ailver part of the
name comes from the fact that
whether you see silrersword
hi sunlight or moonlight, It is
brilliant silver.
The sword part of the name
comes from the size, shape and
j color of its leaves. The leaves
form a base around the plant
about two feet around. Each
leaf or sword is 16 to 18 inches
long and is clothed with silvery-
silk hairs.
As the plant grows, a single
leafy stem rises to the height
of around six feet. The upper
portion is about an inch around
with 10 to 30 purplish ray
florettes surrounding 100 or
more florettes.
There is one last strange fact
about the silversword. It bears
narrow, black, half-inch-long
fruits tipped with a few short
scales. Then, after fruiting, the
silversword dies. The seeds of
the fruit are left to carry on the
production of more swords.
• * *
The other exceedingly fare
plant is the sausage tree. Its
larte. sausage-shaped fruits
But if a person tried to Ott
one of these sausages he would
certainly be disappointed, be-
cause they are covered with
small, hard-shelled brown
scales containing hard pulp and
many seeds.
Some people, it is said, have
tried to eat the sausages, but
no one has found them edible.
However, in Africa, where the
sausage tree originated, the
people use the fruits (sausages)
for external medicine.
You would not want to go
; too close to the sausage tree at
j night. It blooms at night and
its flowers, which hang on
j strings three to six feet long,
have an unpleasant odor.
The most famous sausage tree
in Hawaii is on the campus of
the University of Hawaii in
Honolulu's "Rainbow Valley."

Insert the thin piece of wood
one and one-half inches be-

Hold the paddle until the boat
is placed in the water so that
the unwinding of the rubber

move your boat forward.
You may put a cabin and
imoke stacks on. the boat, but
be sure that the cabin is placed
directly in the center so that
your boat will not be lopsided
