degree of safety from the nursery rows, 

 and they prefer to purchase a plant in 

 a box, even if they have to pay extra 

 for it. 



The transplanting of palms by gar- 

 deners •who do not fully understand the 

 points that must be borne in mind is to 

 blame for this, and many a nice order 

 has been lost because the purchaser ab- 

 solutely refused to buy anything not 

 already established in a box. There is 

 nothing easier to transplant than a palm, 

 provided the gardener understands a few 

 common principles that apply to a large 

 majority of the palm family. The first 

 point is the season. Outdoor-grown 

 plants should always be handled during 

 the growing season, which extends from 

 April to December. I mean here, of 

 course, where it is necessary to cut a 

 considerable portion of the roots during 

 the operation. Next cut back the leaves 

 in proportion as you have slaughtered 

 the roots. This makes but little dif- 

 ference in this climate, where the palm 

 trees grow rapidly and a new set of 

 branches is soon formed. This is espe- 

 cially important when the tree has been 

 growing for quite a time without being 

 transplanted and has made a lot of 

 heavy roots, which must necessarily be 

 lost in the transplanting. 



How far the proposition of transplant- 

 ing large palms may be carried without 

 killing them may be judged by the fact 

 that the writer removed fifteen Phoenix 

 Canariensis from a bed of pure sand, 

 none of the plants less than ten feet 

 high and from which all the soil dropped 

 when they were taken up. But being 

 particular to get all the roots possible 

 and cutting off ninety per cent of the 

 foliage, keeping them shaded and well 

 watered for a month, was all that was 

 necessary and in a year's time they were 

 practically as large as they had been be- 

 fore and were all well established in 

 tubs. This can be done equally well with

any of the varieties of native fan 

 palms, although it is always advisable 

 to try to keep some of the soil intact 

 on the roots, but if this is impossible it 

 really does not make any great differ- 

 ence, provided the grower is in condition 

 to handle them as I have advised. 



When palms are in their most dormant 

 state, and that is during our coldest 

 months, they cannot be transplanted as 

 easily as at this time of the year. They 

 do not stand an excess of moisture and 

 if they are to be left a considerable time 

 in damp, frosty ground at the time that 

 they are not naturally making quantities 

 of new roots, they will quickly succumb. 

 I refer here, of course, to plants that 

 have lost a quantity of roots in trans- 

 planting and not to well established 

 plants from pots or tubs. G.
