The Value of the Silk Oak 



THE very best cut-leaved foliage plant 

 for the window garden is the silk oak 

 (Grevillea robusta), while still small. It is 

 one of the most satisfactory plants for house 

 culture because it withstands the dry atmos- 

 phere of our super-heated living rooms, and 

 even if the roots become slightly drier 

 than is safe for other plants it will suf- 

 fer but little damage. It can be easily 

 grown from seed. The foliage is yellow- 

 ish green and the leaves are so very finely 

 divided that they resemble fern fronds. 

 The silk oak is grown outdoors, as a lawn 

 specimen, in California and in Florida, but 

 in the North it must be grown in pots. Sow 

 the seeds in a pot or flat of light soil any time 

 from January to March and grow the plants 



Few plants are better adapted to withstand the vicis- 

 situdes of dwelling-house culture than the silK oak 



in a warm light window but shade them 

 from the direct rays of the sun. As soon as 

 the young plants have made a few true leaves, 

 transplant them into 2-inch pots. Grow in 

 a night temperature of about 55 and shift 

 them, whenever the pots become filled with 

 roots, into pots a couple of sizes larger. 

 When all danger of frost is over plunge the 

 pots outdoors in a sunny place. By next 

 winter the plants will be two to four feet high, 

 in 6-inch pots and at their prime as a house 

 plant. If kept over until the second winter 

 the lower foliage will have dropped which 

 will leave them looking rather unsightly. 

 Therefore sow the seeds each year.

 ornamental flowers. The blossoms are large and in pani- 

 cles, similar to Wistaria, and of a purple color, but much 

 larger and in better clusters. The foliage is dense. It 

 blooms so early, is so beautiful andgrows with so little care, 

 being perfectly hardy, that it is the
