Ii is an established and generally accepted fact that f all articles used for decorative purposes there is nothing as handsome or an add greater charm to a well furnished homo than graceful drooping lalms and tropical plants, likewise for church, hotel, lodge or ball room, tudio, millinery' and dressmaking parlor, or interior store and window lecorations wherever it is sought to give a charming elTect.

To cultivate these plants in their native tropical lomo is simply a matter of nature, but every effort of the greatest botanical students of recent years has been exerted in the direction of devising or liscovering a method whereby these delicately nurtured palms, plants, ferns md grasses couM be eitl.er more hardily cultivated or treated after growth n such manner as would insure their endurance of all climatic changes vilhout actually keeping them in hot houses.
