EASILY GROWN TROPICAL BEAUTIES. 



Palms are among the noblest and grandest of all decorative plants. No plant is so beautiful and eleg-ant in the home as the Palm, 

 and the varieties that I quote are the best adapted for the ordinary room, thriving even with a considerable amount of exposure, dust 

 and changes of temperature. 



Ciiltiirp Select as small a pot as will comfortably contain the roots, giving good drainage, and being careful not to bury the stem 

 culture, Palm. A soil composed of stiff, sandy loam is the most desirable. In most cases once a year is often enough to repot 



a Palm, being careful not to break or cut the roots in so doing. Never allow the plant to become dry, but give plenty of water, not 

 allowing the soil to become sour. Sponging the leaves occasionally will improve the health of the Palm.
