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 flourish healthfully in the 

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

 stitution of hot- country Palms is generally such that they
