. Illustrated and descriptive catalogue for 1901 and 1902 : largest palm growers in the west. Nursery stock, Illinois, Catalogs; Plants, Ornamental, Catalogs; Palms, Catalogs. Largest Palm Grower's in the West C 0 c 0 s W eddelliana. OF the different species of Cocos cultivated for ornament Cocos Weddelliana is by far the most important. It is sold to florists and private people in large numbers in pots from 3 to 4 inches when the plants are from 2 to 15 inches high. They are favorite house plants, as their culture is easy and they grow slowly and retain their beauty a long while. They are, when small, much used in fern dishes. As a house plant C. Weddelliana is probably the most popular spe- cies of all smaller Palms. It is especially suitable for table decorations and therefore this dwarf cocoanut is very valuable to florists. The seeds are sent from Brazil and are about half an inch thick. If they are in good condition and kept continual- ly moist and at a temperature of about 75° F., they fre- quently begin to germinate in six to eight weeks. The soil for C. Weddelliana should be well drained, rather sandy in texture and may be enriched with some dry cow manure or a moderate quantity of bone dust. C. Weddelliana is probably the most elegant Palm intro- duced into this country and one that should be found in every collection of house plants. 9.
