Armstrong, London, The Wonderful Dragon Trees, Objects of interest in Tenerife are the cele- brated dragon really a species of gi- gantic asparagus. One tree, at Laguna, the ecclesiastical capital of the island, is said'to be sev#al thousand years old. The growth of dragon trees very slow; they do not throw out branches until they have blossomed, which seldom takes place before their fif- teenth year, and sometimes not until their thirtieth. The oldest dragon treg grown in the island was that at Orotava, Pet was at least six, thousand years old--some botanists say tem thousand! It was sixty feet high, with a trunk forty-eight feet in circumference: at the base. The ancient inhabitants of the is- land, the Guanchos, performed their religious rites in its hollow trunk. In 1867 'the upper part was broken off during a storm, and, though every effort was made to préserve the remainder, it gradually décayed, and no trace of it remains. The sap of the tree, a resimous substance like dark treacle, is called "dragon's blood." It becomes brittle and crumbling when dry, and is an article of commerce used in medicine. There are other kinds of dragon trees in different parts of the world, but this particular is peculiar to the Eanary and Cape Verde islands.
