M< Trachy carpus Fortunei is not a popular florist's palm for three reasons: First, it is not as beautiful as Livis- tona Chinensis; second, it is a slower grower, and this is an unpardonable fault to the average florist; third, there is a greater demand, generally speaking, for pin- nate-leaved palms than for fan-leaved palms. The un- dersigned has not seen a plant of it for several years, but it was cult, in America more than 20 years ago. It is dwarf in habit, rather slow-growing, the foliage dark green and somewhat stiff, and in texture decidedly tough. In a young state it bears much resemblance to I/ivistona anstralis, though the latter is more spiny and has longer footstalks. ^r# jj Taplin.
