THE CARE OF PALMS 



grown in a pot of these sizes will remain in 

 perfect health. An examination of its roots 

 will frequently show that they fill the pot so 

 entirely that you wonder what has become of 

 the soil. They seem to have absorbed it all, 

 and yet they will have that clean, white look 

 which proves them to be in a perfectly healthy 

 condition, and the growth of the plant will 

 be all that one could desire. Large pots are 

 not needed when you feed your plants on food 

 containing the elements of plant growth in 

 condensed form. 



Many of the points upon which I have 

 touched in this paper may seem unimportant to 

 the amateur, but let me assure him that success 

 can only be secured by following the advice 

 given. Bear in mind the fact that success in 

 plant-culture depends largely on the little 

 things. I have advised nothing that has not 

 a good reason back of it nothing that years of 

 personal experience in Palm-growing has not 

 shown me to be essential to success.
