PALMS 
Nothing makes our Southern towns more invitingly tropical, especially in the eyes of our Northern 
visitors, than the Palms, at home in our mild climate. 
Lofty Palms lining an avenue suggest stability and dignity. A careful grouping of Palms and 
other Evergreens makes an effect of luxuriance that nothing else can create. 
Pintlo, 20 ft. (Cocos australis) —Very hardy. 
Silvery-gray leaves with pronounced curve; delici¬ 
ous fruit. Very graceful, with upright recurving 
leaves, resembling the Canariensis or Date Palm 
leaves ; foliage is of an impressive grey-green ; fruit 
edible; erect columnar trunk; A great deal hardier 
than the Phoenix and Washington and can therefore 
be planted farther North than any out-door-variety.

PHOENIX (Date Palm) 
Phoenix canariensis, 60 ft. (“Ornamental Date 
Palm) —Canary Isles. This is easily the best and 
most popular palm for general planting in the 
Southwest; its dense, immense crown of beauti¬ 
fully curving leaves, each 15 feet long and of a 
pleasing dark green color, and its stately and rapid 
growth under all conditions, combine to make it an 
ideal Palm for street, park and lawn.

Washingtonia filifera, 80 ft. (“California Fan 
Palm”) —The most characteristic plant of Cali¬ 
fornia and the South: very tall; stout trunk sur¬

to the preceding but the trunk is proportionately 
much more slender and it attains greater height. 
Smaller leaves with few filaments.
