ARAIJCARIA. 



(Norfolk bland Pine.) 



The following cultural notes have beet> 

 written by Mr. Eben. E. Rexford expressly 

 for this book: 



"The Araucaria is of remarkable sym 

 metry. As the plant increases in height, 

 the eflect of its successive layers, or tiers of 

 branches, is very striking, and will alwiyj 

 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 Palir 

 and other plants of that class for hall oi 

 porch decoration will be delighted will 

 this plant when they give it a trial. Con 

 trary to the general impression, it is a ptam 

 of the easiest culture. It succeeds best it 

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

 liable fertilizer, like bonemeal. Good drainage should be provided 

 water should be supplied in sufl'icient quantity — and often enough — 

 to keep the soil always moist, but never ^cet. If this is done, ani 

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

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

 the most destructive of all plant enemies in the living room, aaT 

 amateur can grow it and grow it well.
