PLANTS FOR A PALM HOUSE. 



I am asked to stock a four-department 

 greenhouse on a private place. The first 

 twenty-five feet is to be for hothouse 

 plants, such as palms, etc. What varie- 

 ties of palms are most decorative, also 

 what other i^lants will grow and look 

 well in the same house! I do not want 

 a long list, but only a few of the best, 

 orchids considered. J- J> O. 



Suitable palms are Kentia Belmoreana, 

 the best all-around decorative variety; 

 Kentia Forsteriana, Latania Borbonica, 

 Phoenix Koebelenii, Cocos Weddelliana, 

 Areca lutescens, Phoenix Canariensis 

 and Livistona rotundifoUa. Thore are a 

 large variety of other plants that would 

 grow successfully with the palms. These 

 include crotons in variety, draceenas, An- 

 thurium Andrseanum, Pandanus Veitchii, 

 P. Sanderi, marantas, MediniUa mag- 

 nifica, Platycerium grande, diefifenba- 

 chias, Cycas revoluta, fancy-leaved cala^ 

 diums, alocasias in variety, and some ot 

 the ferns requiring a warm house, espe- 

 cially the adiantum family. 



In climbers, Allamanda Hendersoni, 

 A "Williamsi, Clerodendron Balfourx, 

 Bougainvillea glabra and B. Sanderiana 

 are good. Each of these will require 

 resting to ripen the wood well. Nepen- 

 thes, pitcher plants, would do well, espe- 

 cially at the warm end of the house. Any 

 bare walls can be covered with Ficus 

 repens, or a wall of Lycopodium den- 

 ticulata and ferns, also such colored 

 leaved plants as peperomia and fittoma. 



Some orchids will make their growth 

 successfuUy in a palm house, but should 

 have a drier house to ripen their bulbs. 

 About any of the dendrobiums, of which 

 Nobile and Wardianum are best, will 

 grow well. Ripen them in a colder, drier 

 house. Cattleya Trianse, C. labiata, C. 

 Mossiffi, C. gigas, Lselia purpurata, such 

 East Indian orchids as aerides, vandas, 

 excepting coerulea, angrsecums, saccola- 

 biums, Zygopetalum Mackayi, and many 

 of the cypripediums will grow well if 

 given a side stage close to the glass. 

 The cattleyas, Iselias and dendrobiums 

 should be hung well up to the light.
