“... Burke verder:
At sight of this formidable armament, resistance being
impossible, the island immediately surrendered at discretion,

of these plants, but at any rate, they last from 12 to 20 years.

downwards to a horizontal position, and its colour will have
become darker.
30 such bundles (of 50 leaves) are a days work, but, of
course, more can be done, if the variety is cultivated, without
the prickles on the sides of the leaves.
