PALMS FOR TROPICAL BEAUTY 
Nothing makes our Southern towns more INVITING- 
LY TROPICAL, especially in the eyes of our NORTH- 
ERN VISITORS, than the Palms, at home in OUR 
MILD CLIMATE. Lofty palms lining an avenue sug- 
gest stability and dignity. A careless grouping of 
palms with other evergreens makes for an EFFECT 
OF LUXURIANCE that NOTHING ELSE can create. 
By selecting Hardy varieties, they can be planted 
a 100 miles inland from the Gulf. They should be 
planted extensively, as Northern Visitors look for 
the distinctive tropical effect of Palms in our South- 
land landscape.

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 when dug. After new growth starts, 
fertilize liberally with stable manure and water free- 
ly and your Palms will give pleasing results. 
Our Palms grow very stocky in the heavy black land, 
having strongly developed leaves and large, thick, pro- 
nounced trunks. More leaves according to caliper 
than on the palms grown in thick rows.
