Meyenia erecta alba. A large shrub. Flowers large 
white, with yellow throat. Almost a perpetual 
bloomer. In middle Florida this plant is perfectly 
hardy and attains a height of 10 to 20 feet. A most 
beautiful plant. 
M. erecta coerulea. Of same habit as M. erecta 
alba; flowers of intense violet, rich orange throat. 
Palms 
During winter, our Palm houses are kept under as low a temperature as is consistent with the health 
of the plants, and the largest part of our stock is carried through the summer in slat houses, where they have 
free circulation of air and a clean and healthy growth, becoming thoroughly hardened off by fall. Our plants 
can, therefore, stand distant carriage without injury, and will not suffer from the sudden change when 
removed from a high greenhouse temperature to that of a sitting-room. 
All our Palms, being grown in pots, can be forwarded during the whole year. Measure is from top of 
pot to top of plant, in its natural position. 
We would state that, as all varieties do not grow alike, we cannot quote plants of equal height-at the 
same price. Some are of rapid growth, others affect a dwarf habit. Young plants of such varieties as 
Phoenix, Seaforthia and a few others, do not show their characteristic forms of foliage until the second 
year. The lowest prices refer to two-year-old plants, ranging from 10 to 12 inches, according to variety. 
Cultural Directions. Use a compost of equal parts of leaf-mold, rich garden soil and well-decayed 
cow-dung, and some bone meal. Give drainage and keep plants in open air, but in partial shade during sum¬ 
mer. Water regularly during summer. Keep soil only moist during winter and foliage free from dust. 
Repot large plants in February and smaller ones twice during summer. Varieties marked with an asterisk (*) 
are the most hardy and suitable for open ground in middle Florida; others are for the conservatory and trop¬ 
ical countries.
