grower, just as there are in the path of 

 a grower of anything else worth having 

 — diflSculties that had to be met with 

 common sense and cultural skill; then 

 they ceased to trouble. The first of 

 these difficulties was the injury to the 

 tap root that so often occurred when 

 transplanting from the seed box to the 

 pots. This was met by sowing seed in a 

 cocos pot three fjtebes deep. Then there 



was the yellows that so often attacked 

 stock that was poorly grown and even 

 occasionally stock that appeared to be 

 well grown. So prevalent was the yellows 

 that a large plant of this variety of 

 cocos was rarely seen in perfect condi- 

 tion. A certain firmness of the right 

 composition of soil, and skill in water- 

 ing, to say nothing of temperature, 

 went a long way toward overcoming 



this trouble, and then Mr. Eisele 

 branched out and grew cocos in all 

 sizes. I am told on excellent authority 

 that nowhere else in the world can such 

 a stock of Cocos Weddelliana be seen, 

 in every size, of finest quality, in im- 

 mense quantity. That briefly describes 

 a view of the cocos range. 



I am glad to say that made-up cocos 

 do not seem in favor. Glad, because it 

 always seemed to me this graceful palm 

 suffered, from an artistic standpoint, by 

 crowding. The specimens are now as 

 perfect in finish as those of any other 

 variety of palm, possessing a grace that 

 outrivals all other varieties. 



Kentias in both the leading varieties, 

 both imported and domestic, have al- 

 ways been a feature at Eiverton. The 

 stock today is immense and, best of all, 

 in magnificent condition. It is a pleas- 

 ure to see the imported specimen ken- 

 tias in decorative sizes go into their 

 tubs without a blemish, as perfect as 

 any grown from seedhood on the place; 

 plants that can be depended on for im- 

 mediate use, rivaling in durability 

 under trying house and decorative con- 

 ditions anything grown here. When a 

 scarcity of kentias exists it is nearly 

 always in the medium sizes, those most 

 popular as house plants. A walk 

 through the ranges shows no indication
