PALMS 
AND 
CYCADS 
Palms are among the most 
striking plants which may be 
used for outdoor southern 
planting. Their bare, single 
trunks and huge, arching 
fronds distinguish them from 
all other plants. They always 
attract attention and give a 
decidedly tropical touch to 
the grounds. As street and 
shade trees, and in landscape 
plantings, they are excellent 
and worthy of extensive use.
