The culture of most species of Palms is comparatively simple. On an average they give less trouble than the majority 
of plants, enduring rough usage, smoke, dust and eliauges of temperature in most heroic fashion. All the species in the 
following list require for their successful cultivation an average temperature of from 50 to 60 degrees; liut when used as 
decorative plants for greenhouses, conservatories, winter gardens, or even for outdoor decorations, will endure without 
harm an occasional drop to 40 degrees in the temperature.
