ARAUCARIA. 



Norfolk Island Pine.' 



The following cultural notes have been 

 written by Mr. Eben. E. Rexl'ord expressly 

 for this book: 



"The Araucaria is of remarkable sym- 

 metrv. As the plant increases in height, 

 the effect of its successive layers, or tiers of 

 branches, is very striking, and will always 

 please those who admire plants with fine 

 foliage. Plants five or six years old ought 

 to have attained a height of as many feet. 

 Those who have depended upon the Palm 

 and other plants of that class for hall o.- 

 porch decoration will be delighted with 

 this plant when they give it a trial. Con- 

 trary to the general impression, it is a plant 

 of the easiest culture. It succeeds be^t in 

 a soil of sandy loam, made moderately rich by the addition ot a re- 

 liable fertilizer, like bonemeal. Good drainage should be provided, 

 water should be supplied in sufficient quantity — and often enough — 

 to keep the soil always moist, but never wet. If this is done, aid 

 the plant is showered frequently all over, and especially on the 

 under side of its branches, to keep down the red spider, which is 

 the most destructive of all plant enemies in the living-room, any 

 amateur can grow it and grow it well.
