The Palm Family.

The following is from Boston
correspondent, with a description of
one of the kinds of palms he enum-
crates
Editors Florida Agq'icatJturist:
Are you not mistaken in saying
that the true Sage Palm (Sagus
Rumphii) will grow in Florida ? 1t
is native, as you mention in your
article, of the region IL degrees north
and south of the equator and would
probably require constant tropical
heat so that it is doubtful if it would
ever flourish in the Cocoanut-P Palm
country of extreme South Florida.
You may have in mind a tree that
grows well in some of the gardens of
st. Augustine and elsewhere. 1t re-
sembles the wild Coontie and is erro-
neously called "Sago Palm but in
fact is not palm at all, but a cycas,
a genus OF trees between the palms
and the ferns. The species in the
gardens OF Florida is the CycaS Rev-
ol1ta. A preparation of sago is
sometimes made from it, hence the
popular name, sago palm.
/ nave been interested in the in
formation you have collected in your
paper on various palms. 1t will be
some years before much original
matter can be published on the sub
ject of exotic palms in Florida as the
material for it does not yet exist. l
have been reading up little on the
subject in our libraries and have
about come to the conclusion that
there is very little available, practi-
cal information eXtant on the ques-
tion of what palms will grow in the
comparatively cool climate OF Flor
