HUGE ALOE TREE
DISCOVERY IN NATAL. What is claimed to be the world's largest aloe has been discovered near Greytown, Natal. It is just over 60 feet in height and 22 feet round the trunk. The discoverer, Professor Elbrecht, of the Pretoria University, came upon it when touring Natal with five companions in a specially-equipped lorry, seeking specimens for the botanical gardens of the Pretoria University. The professor spends all his holidays in this way and has already travelled 200,000 miles through the yeld.
