Care Of N0nnu Palms,

A subscriber asks for information re.
garding the care of young palms. /
would suggest tina, a soil composed of
one-halt common garden soil. re-
ma'nder equal parts of well-rotted
manure, leaf.mold, sand aud finely
chopped sod, all thoroughly mixed,
be used for potting the palm. Water
only as often as the soil in the pot an
pears to become somewhat dry-not
d%us'-dry, but showing a small amount
of moisture left-then apply the water
literally. Keep the plant out of direct
or strong sunlight, which has a tenden-
cy to make the foliage of a light color.
The plant should not. however. be con-
signed to n dark corner but be kept
IN good light, and where there is plenty
OF good fresh air and no drafts. The
leaves, especially the under surfaces.
should be sponged Mt least once n
week with tepid water made slightly
soapy. This will prevent the attacks
OF scale-insects so often troublesome.
