. Rare Florida flowers and fruits. Nurseries (Horticulture) Florida Catalogs; Flowers Catalogs; Plants, Ornamental Catalogs; Shrubs Catalogs. JESSAMINE GARDENS, JESSAMINE, FLORIDA. Palms for the People. Grown Without Artificial Heat and Especially for Window Culture. FOR ornamental or decorative purposes few plants can equal the grand and atatelyJPaZms. They succeed finely as pot plants in living- rooms, and every year of their age adds to their size, beanty and usefulness ; but as with Orchids, the high prices at which they are held prevent them from being universally grown, and they can hardly be found outside conservatories of the wealthy. We are happy to be able to offer the following collection of elegant, desirable and easily managed sorts at prices which will put them within the reach of all. They have been grown in latticed houses and are much hardier and vastly superior, for window culture, to those grown under glass at the North. In potting Palms the soil should be packed about the roots very firmly, and rather small pots used, shifting to larger sizes only when the pots become filled with roots. They do finely in a soil of loam and sand. Leaf mould does not seem to suit them as well as a heavier soil. There is more danger of using too large, rather than too small pots. The drainage should be perfect, and there should not be a lot of unused soil about the roots to become sour. Do not re-pot until the old pots are filled with roots, and instead of using wide pots, use deep ones, as the roots prefer to go down rather than out. They enjoy some sun- light, though some sorts would do better in complete shade than in hot sunshine. Keep the leaves clean by sponging or washing them, and water the soil the same'as Geraniums'.Roses, etc. Unhealthy yellow leaves are most frequently caused by imperfect drain- age, and this trouble may be avoided by careful potting. The scale, which is almost the only insect which attacks Palms, if it appears, which is rarely, may be e
