Cyclopedia of American horticulture, comprising suggestions for cultivation of horticultural plants, descriptions of the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers and ornamental plants sold in the United States and Canada, together with geographical and biographical sketches, and a synopsis of the vegetable kingdom cyclopediaofamer03bail Year: 1906 1024, Hedyscepe Canterhuryana. is known as the 'Umbrella Palm' from the recurving habit of its foliage. It grows at a greater altitude than the Howeas, not appearing below the 900-feet level, and from this it may be inferred that a slightly lower tempera- ture is more suitable for this palm; but in a general way the same conditions as those required by the so-called Kentias will give good results with this subject, namely, a night temperature of 60° to 62' F., moderate shading throughout nearly the whole year, plenty of water, and a rich and rather heavy soil. These palms respond freely to generous treatment. As a commercial palm, H. Canterhuryana is not very popular as yet, partly owing to the higher cost of seeds and the frequently low per- centage of germination, and partly from the fact that in a young state this palm is by no means a rapid grower. In regard to hardiness of foliage, it is fully equal to the Kentias, and for gracefulness and symmetry of growth will compare favorably with any of the commercial species. In S. Calif, it is cult, outdoors. Canterburyina, H. Wendl. & Drude {K(ntia Canter- 6Hi-d»i«,F. Muell.). Umbrella Palm. Fig. 1024.
