PANAMA GROW
In NEWARK NOW

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWARK, Del. 26.-Twos large CO.
coanut palms. probably the only ones
in the State, we're received several
days ago by Mrs. Jonathan Johnson,
Of Newark, from Panama. They we're
brought to this country packed in a
large basket, by DR.. joaquin Arrias,
who is spending the holidays as a
guest at the johnson home. Dr. Ar
rias is a native Of Panama and a
member of one of the oldest and most
aristocratic families of that country.
He graduated several years ago in
dentistry at the University of Pennsyl-
vania and is practicing his profession
with much success in Panama City.
Mrs Johnson, whose home in East
Newark, is one of the show places of
the town, because of the many beau
tiful flowers that she cultivates In the
yards surrounding the house in sea-
son. is delighted with this new addi-
! ton to her collection of plants and
palms. While there is considerable
doubt as to whether or not the palms
can be kept alive because Of the great
difference of the climate Of this coun-
| try and Panama, Mrs. Johnson has
placed them in her conservatory and
will make an effort to cultivate them
AS these palms which produce the
cocoanut, grow to great heighth il
will be but a short time until other
arrangements viii have to be made in
case her efforts are successful. The
palms If healthy would bear the CO.
coanut in seven years and by that
/ time they would be as high as a house
When they once start to bear, each
palm is said to drop three cocoanuts
every day. The largest of the palms
is now p inches in circumference.
