Seedling Palms as Turf.— M Andre tells us 
that at Cannes and Nice and elsewhere along the 
Riviera it is becoming the customs to sow beneath 
the trees seeds of Plioeoix canariensis. The seeds 
are sown very thickly, so that the seedlings form 
a sort of ' grass plot ' beneath tiie trees. After 
a yearor two the baby seedlings grow into juvenile 
Palms with a different shape of leaf not so well 
adapted for the purpose, and they are then removed, 
and fresh seeds sown. — Gardeners' Chronicle, 
July 11.
