Banyan Tree of India.

The banyan tree of India is one of the most wonderful trees that grow. The picture represents the main trunk of the banyan and some of the secondary trunks. The banyan, as doubtless all boys have read, sends down-

ward from its branches shoots that take root and themselves grow to enormous size. In time the great tree covers an acre of ground and great caravans take shelter under its foliage from the heat of the sun.
