This picture is taken in Central America, and gives beautiful scenes of the groves, or jungles, where the tree flourishes. The cocoanut tree is not unlike the palm tree, with a bamboo stem, which the gatherers walk up with monkey-like rapidity. The big nuts are thrown to the ground to other negroes, who proceed to cut off the husks and throw the nuts in the mule wagons for shipment. The negroes who gather are inordinately fond of cocoanut milk, and freely take advantage of a broken nut to enjoy a beverage.
