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 dig¬ 
nity. A careless grouping of palms with 
other evergreens makes for an effect of 
luxuriance than nothing else can create. 
Every home can have a few Palms. 
They enhance property value and are the 
greatest asset in beautifying. On small 
grounds, they will thrive where other trees 
will not, because their root systems do not 
require much space. 
BLACKBURN PALMETTO Sabal blackburniana 
Evergrreen Tree. Ter. 1 to 3. 35 ft. (('abbage 
Palmetto). 
Enormous fan-shaped leaves and rugged green 
trunk. Adapted to the entire South, thriving out¬ 
doors considerably further North than other Palms. 
CANARY DATE 4:sfJ * Phoenix canarien^s 
Evergreen Tree. _ Ter. 1 and 2. 20 ft. 
The Canariensis is the noblest of all the Phoenix 
family, being one of the most majestic Palms in 
cultivation. Its long graceful, swaying leaves often 
attain a length of from 10 to 15 feet. Grown in 
tubs they are appropriate for indoor decorations, 
planting on sidewalks or for decorating stages, etc., 
and will stand much more abuse than the ordi¬ 
nary decorative (house) Palms. Their tall upright 
growth, when established makes a very striking 
effect on lawns. 
MEXICAN WASHINGTON* Washington robusta 
Evergreen Tree. Ter. 1 and 2. 30 ft. 
Named for George Washington. This is the type 
of Palm which bas made California world-wide 
famous as the “Palm State”. Very hardy and 
vigorous grower, the immense rich, dark green 
leaves, which never turn yellow, form a beautiful 
crown to the tall, stately trunk, which is very 
sturdy and picturesque. The most beautiful Palm 
for street and avenue planting and for general 
use on the lawn. In groups it is delightfully 
effective and its constantly increasing popularity 
makes it almost assured that the Gulf Coast Sec¬ 
tion will become thickly planted with Palms of 
this type as the sections of California visited for 
such beauty.

For Tropic,al Beauty, Their Planting Will

Palms are measured and graded by the 
thickness or diameter of the trunk where it 
protrudes from the ground. From 40 to 
60 per cent of the leaves are cut off when 
dug. After new growth starts, fertilize 
liberally with stable manure and water 
freely and your Palms will give pleasing 
results. 
Our Palms grow very stocky in the 
heavy black land, having strongly devel¬ 
oped leaves and large, thick, pronounced 
trunks. More leaves according to caliper 
than on the palms grown in thick rows.
