Descriptive catalogue : fruit and forest trees, vines and shrubs, palms and choice roses . descriptivecatal1904fanc Year: 1904 Cycas revoluta. The Sago Palm. Phoenix Canariensis, 'Canary Island Palm.' The most graceful and the handsomest of our hardy palms; leaves pinnaate and of a deep, dark' green color; one of the most effective palms on a lawn, and worthy of the attention of all admirers of the Palm family; fruit not edible. Phoenix dactylifera, Arabia and N. Africa, 100 ft. Produces the famous date of com- merce; the date palm is dioecious that is, the male and female flowers appear on different trees; fruit is secured by sus- pending the male blossoms in the tree de- veloping female flowers, when the same are in the receptive stage; luxuriates in the strongest alkaline soils, where other trees fail entirely. Phoenix reclinata, 'Dwarf Date Palm,' S. Africa, 12-20 ft. Very graceful, drooping leaves; very handsome for avenue or lawn use; not as hardy as some of the other sorts. Phoenix rupicola, Himalaya. 15-20 ft. Has wide-spreading, arching leaves, and one of the finest of the genus for pot cul- ture. Phoenix sylvestris, 'Wild Date Palm,' In- dia, 25-40 ft. Very hardy and useful, the leaves being used for mats, ropes and bas- kets, and the sap furnishing the palm su- gar in its native country; leaves long, arched and of a glaucous green color; closely allied to the date of commerce. Rhapis flabelliformis, 'Chinese Umbrella Palm,' China and Japan. A very pretty, cane-like palm, which suckers from the roots, like Bamboo, with many-fingered dark green leaves, borne at the end of the reed-like stems. Rhapis humilis, 'Walking Stick Palm,' China, 3-5 ft. Very similar to the preced- ing, except that the stems are thinner and the palmated leaves are narrower. Sabal Adansoni, 'Dwarf Palmetto,' South- ern States, 3-6 ft. Leaves a dark, rich green, with smooth edged stems; flower- spike rises above the leave
