Some of the rarer kinds require somewhat special treatment, especially those which grow in swamps. For these it is neces- sary to use an open soil, and to stand the pots in which the seeds are sown in pans of water, Many Palms germinate quickly, b;it owing to unfavom-ablo conditions the seedlings are weakened or fatally injured before they become strong enough to look after themselves. A regular temperature, both at the roots and overhead, is of special importance, as also is an uniformly moist soil, anything approach- ing drying being harmful to seedling Palms. In removing them from the seed-pans to pot them into separate pots, the roots should be carefully Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Fish, David Taylor, 1824-1901; Fish, D.
