PALMS 
Palms make nice house plants, and can stand a rather subdued light, so 
they need not be directly in a window. They can also stand a great deal 
of rough handling. The best potting mixture for them is a fairly heavy, rich 
soil (a general purpose potting mixture),*’and after they have became pot- 
bound (a condition they do not mind as long as it is not too extreme) they 
should be fed with either liquid manure or with any good plant food such as 
Plant Marvel or Vigoro. 
We offer two kinds of Palms in small plants about 10 inches high. 
Kentia Palm—This is the most common palm and the only one usually 
seen at parties, weddings and funerals. 50c¢ each. 
Date Palm (Phoenix roebelemi)—We think this is the nicest type of Palm 
because of its more feathery type leaves. 75c each. 
Rhoeo Discolor 
(Moses in the Cradle) 
An unusual houseplant with wide leaves which are green on top and red 
underneath. Small white flowers which are borne in groups surrounded by 
boat like bracts in the base of the leaves. Plants are very easy to grow ‘and 
make plants which are colorful and always create attention. 50c each.
