Hi Norma et al,
Can you remember this rhyme? :

I'm Chiquita banana, I've got monocot veins
When my seed starts to grow a single leaf it will gain!
(I won't go on)...

Here are two more characteristics of monocots:

1. seeds have one section (Oh, what a lovely bunch of coconuts!)
2. stem grows by deposits on its inside

Re: [Sansevierias] new member says hi RE: A SONG OF LIFE ANDDEATH(and 6' sans).Dear Norma.

Do you know which Sansevieria the Huntington accession number 77662 applies to???
Found an old broken label that I can hardly read, I can see it's a trifasciata and is from
Manny Singer. I'm suspecting the label is for 'Austrian Black' (which of course is 'Black Sport').

Thanks much.
Russ

[Norma Lewis]

Re: [Sansevierias] new member says hi RE: A SONG OF LIFE ANDDEATH(and 6' sans).From momory you are right. That may have been a field collected plant. I will need to look it up. Why was the name changed from 'Austraian Black' to '
'Black Sport;' who did that, Manny named that plant in i1968 or before. What right does 'Black Sport' have. I believe Madelyn did that after Manny and David died. I'll uphold Manny Singers name. That makes my blood boil. Hermine should have some memory on this, so should Juan. I'll check the index cards, I did have that plant out there. Norma

My crystal ball does not explode over this. i think this is just the same
plant happening in two places. my personal name for this was "bantel
reverts" or something like that. i may have described it as near black,
like Loops Pride.

let us not boil our blood over this one, there is ample reason for making

And mine is the Singer clone. So you don't have to fool with looking it up.
Thanks, Russ

I may have sent that one to you, from the Huntington. They got it from me, and I got it from Northridge Gardens who was selling off the Manny Singer collection for Burt Siner his wife. The plant came collected from Manny Singer when he was in Africa. I may be able even to find location data. Norma

AUSTRIAN is what Loyce Andrews was calling it in 1976, and who knows how
long before? i got it from her in 1976.

That I believe, but did Manny bring it back with him? That is what I'm going to try and trace. I'll look for my Sans. list, that information should be listed. He also had a S. 'mein liebling' could this be the same plant again?

Well, thanks Russ, I think I bump off the old man, I've been threating him that I can get a younger man, and spend all of his money. Whoops there goes the kids inheritness.
I have another variegated plant that is tiny and hardly made it. After 8 years it's finally growing. It may be a S. variegated pattens. The leaves are still pretty flat down, round. It could be a S. cylindrica not a long leaf yet, the next leaves should go straight up now. I'll keep you posted. Norma

Still, I wonder why 'Austrian'. How did a European country happen to slide in there, and then if European,
why not 'Hungarian', or 'Swiss'. How 'bout Czechoslovakian Black'? Guess we'll never know.

Curious what was in the mind of the one naming this.

Russ

[Norma Lewis]

Russ the only informaton I could find is exactly what you have, I forgot I gave that plant to the Hu
ntington Gardens, so they have no more information than I gave them, ex Northridge Gardens, ex Manny Singer. That is where my trail ends. We don't know who named the plant or where Manny got it. If it was a species it may have come from his trip. I was hopping that was the case. It may also go under the name of (Black Gold) that is just one more clue. ( I have copied off the index cards three times, on different occasions so that I could pick up errors by comparing each copy) that the Huntington Gardens has on record. Thank goodness I did that, if we only had Manny Singers black book. I think that plant must be a hybrid. Take a leaf off and plant it and see what comes up. It may revert to the species. Norma

An Hybid, reproduced from a leaf cut, will come true, provided it is not
variegated. I do not think this plant, nor any of the similar ones are
hybrids, I think they are some kind of kinky form of trifasciata.

YES! WE HAVE NO BANANAS, WE HAVE NO BANANAS TODAY! c. 1941

I'm Chiquita Banana and I want to say
Bananas are delightful in so many ways
You can put them in a pie
Anyway you want to eat them
You can put them in a pie
It's impossible to beat them.

But bananas are a product of the very, very
tropical Equator
So never, never put bananas in the refrigerator!

Lyrics by my great uncle, Irving Joslow, founder of the United Fruit Company
His mother from Russia sold bananas from a push cart on Orchard Street
She was Tante Ita.

He was gay and left his estate to his nephews and neices-$120 million.
The song was written c. 1935 to introduce this exotic fruit to Americans-
New Yorkers already loved them.

YES! WE HAVE NO BANANAS, WE HAVE NO BANANAS TODAY! c. 1941

"I'm Chiquita banana and I've come to say
Bananas have to ripen in a certain way-
When they are fleck'd with brown and have a golden hue
Bananas taste the best and are best for you
You can put them in a salad
You can put them in a pie-aye
Any way you want to eat them
It's impossible to beat them
But, bananas like the climate of the very, very tropical equator
So you should never put bananas in the refrigerator."

Post by Michael Barclay
Lyrics by my great uncle, Irving Joslow, founder of the
United Fruit Company
His mother from Russia sold bananas from a push cart on Orchard Street
She was Tante Ita.
He was gay and left his estate to his nephews and neices-$120 million.
The song was written c. 1935 to introduce this exotic fruit to Americans-
New Yorkers already loved them.

THIS IS ONE OF THE FIRST OF MY PERFORMANCE ART PIECES, which i sang in a
Carmen Miranda outfit I cobbled together out of rags from the closet! i
have altered the lyrics to what i remember from the radio. And then I
checked them in Google.
I am HONOURED to be able to say I know the guy whose great uncle wrote this
wonderful song! It was a hit, without even being necessarily a commercial
for BANANAS!

But a we search turns up the following displeasing statement:


"The song was created by a BBDO advertising agency team lead by Robert
Foreman. Foreman and his staff developed the jingle using office talent, an
old piano and a box of paper clips shaken to simulate maracas. Garth
Montgomery wrote the lyrics and co-worker Ken MacKenzie provided the music.
The singer in the original 1944 recording was Patti Clayton, the first in a
long line of Miss Chiquita's."


My friend Jack Feldman of beloved memory, used to sing, YES, WE HAVE NO
BANANAS in Polish.

Any way you want to eat them
It's impossible to beat them
But, bananas like the climate of the very, very tropical equator
So you should never put bananas in the refrigerator."



Lyrics by my great uncle, Irving Joslow, founder of the United Fruit Company
His mother from Russia sold bananas from a push cart on Orchard Street
She was Tante Ita.

He was gay and left his estate to his nephews and neices-$120 million.
The song was written c. 1935 to introduce this exotic fruit to Americans-
New Yorkers already loved them.


THIS IS ONE OF THE FIRST OF MY PERFORMANCE ART PIECES, which i sang in a Carmen Miranda outfit I cobbled together out of rags from the closet! i have altered the lyrics to what i remember from the radio. And then I checked them in Google.
I am HONOURED to be able to say I know the guy whose great uncle wrote this wonderful song! It was a hit, without even being necessarily a commercial for BANANAS!

But a we search turns up the following displeasing statement:


"The song was created by a BBDO advertising agency team lead by Robert Foreman. Foreman and his staff developed the jingle using office talent, an old piano and a box of paper clips shaken to simulate maracas. Garth Montgomery wrote the lyrics and co-worker Ken MacKenzie provided the music. The singer in the original 1944 recording was Patti Clayton, the first in a long line of Miss Chiquita's."


My friend Jack Feldman of beloved memory, used to sing, YES, WE HAVE NO BANANAS in Polish.

NORMA- I believe that Juan picked 'Black Sport' as being the name with the earliest valid authoring.
You can call yours 'Austrian Black'-that's how I refer to mine. Noone will care or chastise you.

From momory you are right. That may have been a field collected plant. I will need to look it up. Why was the name changed from 'Austraian Black' to '

'Black Sport;' who did that, Manny named that plant in i1968 or before. What right does 'Black Sport' have. I believe Madelyn did that after Manny and David died. I'll uphold Manny Singers name. That makes my blood boil. Hermine should have some memory on this, so should Juan. I'll check the index cards, I did have that plant out there. Norma

Dear Norma.

Do you know which Sansevieria the Huntington accession number 77662 applies to???
Found an old broken label that I can hardly read, I can see it's a trifasciata and is from
Manny Singer. I'm suspecting the label is for 'Austrian Black' (which of course is 'Black Sport').

Thanks much.
Russ

My well wishes to Garth Montgomery-I hope he left an estate of 120 million. I loved the jingle, I loved Carmen Miranda, and I like
underripe bananas-especially the tiny pink lady fingers. Let's hear it for musaceae- I gonna' grow a traveller's tree on the beach like they
used to grow in Madagascar.
Luv,

PS-Like your lyrics better than Montgomery's.

Bananas taste the best and are best for you
You can put them in a salad
You can put them in a pie-aye
Any way you want to eat them
It's impossible to beat them
But, bananas like the climate of the very, very tropical equator
So you should never put bananas in the refrigerator."
