PALMS. 



tanic gardens, and from those in continental and British 

 nurseries. 



As there are a greater number of persons who can 

 grow greenhouse than stove Palms, and from the fact that 

 the former class will as a rule prove doubly useful by- 

 adorning the open garden in summer as well as the houses 

 in winter, we will begin with a list of Palms that may be 

 grown in cool houses — i.e., winter gardens, conservatories, 

 greenhouses, and even in orchard-houses.

Of Stove Palms there is abundance. Some of those that 

 grow well in the cooler houses nourish healthfully in the 

 warmer ones, simply growing faster therein; and the con-
