PALMS AND CYCADS 
The varieties we list will all thrive from South 
Florida north to Charleston along the coast, in the 
Gulf area and some as far north inland as Augusta. 
COCOS AUSTRALIS. Pindo Palm. A fine low-grow- 
ing Palm with very long, pinnate, graceful leaves 
of grayish green. 
CYCAS REVOLUTA. Sago Cycas. A slow-growing 
shrub or small tree with crown of very shiny, 
stiff, dark green leaves. New leaves or flowers 
are produced in alternating years. 
PHOENIX CANARIENSIS. Canary Date Palm. A 
stout-trunked tree with an enormous spreading 
head of long, bright green, pinnate, pendulous 
leaves. The small yellow fruits are borne on 
handsome orange stalks. 
SABAL PALMETTO. Cabbage Palmetto. Our na- 
tive fan-leaved Palmetto with soft green fronds 
and pinkish gray trunk. Invaluable on the ocean 
front and attractive planted in various sizes in 
groups. Although attaining an eventual height of 
50 feet or more, it is slow growing but is easily 
transplanted in large sizes. 
WASHINGTONIA ROBUSTA. Mexican Washing- 
ton Palm. Splendid, tall, fast-growing Palm with 
dark green, fan-shaped leaves. As the old leaves 
die, they form a matted thatch around the slender 
trunk beneath the crown. This tree is the fastest 
growing of all the subtropical Palms, attaining a 
height of 40 feet or more in 15 years. It is some- 
what less cold-hardy than the Sabal Palmetto. 
ZAMIA INTEGRIFOLIA. Coontie Palm. A dwarf, 
palm-like cycad with beautiful dark green, fern- 
like leaves about 2 feet high.
