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 care- 
less 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. 
CANARY DATE Phoenix canariensis 
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.
