PALMS, 
DRACENAS and YUCCAS 
There is a definite place for palms, bamboos and grasses 
in many California gardens. We associate them with 
white adobe walls and terra cotta tile roofs. For the lazy 
gardener this group of plants has no peer. It includes 
members of the plant kingdom adapted to most soils, 
good or bad. They are drouth-resistant when need be, 
will take water when it is given them. Hit or miss, palms, 
bamboos and grasses maintain a rugged individuality 
difficult:to find in other groups.
