SEMI-TROPICAL PALMS 
PALMS 
Nothing makes our South- 
ern towns more INVITINGLY 
TROPICAL, especially in the 
eyes of our NORTHERN VISI- 
TORS, than the Palms, at 
home in OUR MILD CLI- 
MATE. Lofty palms lining an 
avenue suggest stability and 
dignity. A careless grouping 
of palms with other ever- 
greens makes for an EFFECT 
OF CUXURTIANCE that 
NOTHING ELSE can create. 
Every home can have a few Palms. 
They enhance PROPERTY VALUE 
and are the greatest asset in beauti- 
tying. On small grounds, they WILL 
THRIVE where other trees will not, 
because their root systems do not 
require much space 

Palms Used in the Landscape of Seuthern Estates 
FOR TROPICAL BEAUTY, 
THEIR PLANTING WILL IN- 
CREASE THE BEAUTY OF 
YOUR HOME. 
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, fer- 
tilize 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 de- 
nounced trunks. More leaves ac- 
cording to caliper than on the palms 
grown in thick rows.
