CARLUDEVICAS. 



The genus of carludeviea affords us 

 a reasonable number of desirable 

 species well deserving their cultiva- 

 tion. Their comparative ease of cul- 

 ture, their elegance and adaptability 

 tor decorative purposes, indoors as 

 well as outdoors, are things not to be 

 overlooked. Be it for the semi-tropi- 

 cal garden, conservatory, house or 

 table decoration, one will always find 

 his acquaintance with them highly 

 gratifying and compensating. In cul- 

 tivation they are generally regarded to 

 be palms, nine out of ten who are 

 familiar with them at all feel disap- 

 pointed when informed otherwise, but 

 they are certainly not palms. They be- 

 long to the cyclanth division of the 

 pandanads. Th^y are palm like in ap- 

 pearance but belong to the tribe of 

 I yclanthae and not palmaceae. 



They are usually propagated by 

 seeds, suckers and the division of old 

 plants. The seeds are very fine and 

 must be sown rather carefully. With 

 gentle bottom heat and with sphagnum 

 moss as a medium for germination, 

 they will make their appearance with- 

 in two or three weeks. And when 

 division is resorted to, it should al- 

 ways be done in the spring months. 

 They should be potted in a mixture of 

 two parts of sandy loam soil, one part 

 of well rotted cow manure and liber- 

 ally watered and syringed. 



The following three species are very 

 desirable: 



C. palmata. This is a very desirable 

 and beautiful species. It is very 

 suitable for the conservatory, dwelling 

 house and semi-tropical garden. Its 

 leaves or blades are palmate, two to 

 three feet across, and divided into 

 four lobes; the petioles are round. 

 smooth, dark green and from four to 

 six feet in height. 



C. elegans. A real elegant and 

 charming species, under good cultiva- 

 tion attaining a height of from three 

 to six feet. It is still more beautiful 

 and elegant than the above. Its 

 blades are four or five lobed and cut 

 into segments. 



C. rotundifolia. A very ornamental 

 plant, much resembling C. palmata; 

 It is usually three lobed, which are 

 segmented and pendant, and give an 

 exceedingly graceful appearance to the 

 whole plant. It is admirably adapted 

 for table decorations when in a young 

 state.
