NOTES
BY J. C. GALLOWAY
Reprinted From Port AlleganY (Penna.I
Reporter and Argus

"But, folks, here we are in Key
West, and shade and Towering
trees everywhere, and hardly a
tree of any northern family ex-
cept locusts, and they are all new
and different. Everything else is
strange and unknown, unless we
have picked up a few names in
South Florida. So if we are to
get acquainted, we need some
one who knows and loves trees
and plants to go around with us
and tell us what they are. Mrs.
Phelan at the Botanic Garden
could, but she is probably busy
just now. But here is Mr.. Leu
thi; we know he will enjoy 60
ing around with us, and you will
enjoy him, and all these trees are
old friends of his; come on, folks.
"Let us look at some more
palms first. This one is the COM
mercial date; with narrow stiff
gray fronds, erect and fishbone-
like, and trunk braided into
knots that you might step on to
climb. Look at those clusters of
golden dates shining in the sun
against their gray spiny back
ground. They remind you of
California grapes except that
they are like polished gold and
the clusters almost as large as
banana punches, They can be eat
en-. but no one cares too much, for
with the absence of desert heat
and dryness they do not cure into
the usual sugary sweetness. The
dark spreading ornamental dates
or Phoenix palms you may have
seen elsewhere in Florida; they
bear smaller punches of smaller
dates, not edible, but yellow gold
and snowy. And here is a small
fan palm like a palmetto; but
the latter has big punches OF
small fruits like huckleberries,
while this has small clusters of a
hundred or more olives, shining
gray-blue-green. 1t is Livistonia
from China, once popular as a
house plant up north.
'These tall slim-stemmed fan
palms with flat creased circular
fronds are Thrinax or thatch
palms from the Keys; so called
because you can lay them close
like shingles; one is green, the
other silvery beneath. Totally
different is this rank green one
reminding you of a gigantic
maindenhair fern. 1t is a Caryota
with its trunk shingled all the
way up with the thin husks OF
its leaf bases. And look! Coming
out from the bare trunk a few
feet from the ground are three
heavy tassels, each a foot or more
long and with fifty or more
knotted cords hanging straight
down. Two are green and one
red; the green ones are the pis-
tillate buds, to bear small red
berries; the red buds open into
tiny flowers with golden stamens.
You won't see that sight often,
but you may see these 'fish-tail'
palms surrounded by a happy
family of young suckers"

KEY WEST One OF
TWELVE KEY PORTS
DIRECTORS HAVE CHARGE
OF PRIVATE CRAFT MOBI-
LIZATION PLANS
Especial to The Citizen)


WASHINGTON, Feb. 2O.-Key
West is one of IL key ports in the
United States at which prepare
tons for mobilization of private
ly owned ships and aircraft will
take place in case of emergency
of any kind.
Other ports are Boston, New
York, Philadelphia, Norfolk,
Charleston, New Orleans, Chi
cago, San Diego, San Francisco,
Seattle and Honolulu. Most of
them were established after Presi-
dent Roosevelt proclaimed a state
of limited national emergency on
September 8.
Each city has a port director,
who will be in charge of the
mobilization of private ships.

The Citizen presents herewith
another in the series entitled,
Mature Notes, from the pen of
]. c. Galloway.
These articles appear regularly
inn the Port Allegany (Penna.)
Reporter and Argus, and were
composed during Mr.. and Mrs.
Galloway's visit in the city re-
Gently.
Following is the latest article:
Zone who comes to an unfa-
miliar region is apt to notice first
whether there are trees; and next
those strlkingly different in ap-
pearace from the kinds to which
he is accustomed. Coming into
Key West, one may observe that
the houses are practically buried
in trees and shrubbery, rich and
colorful. Along the streets the
young Pritchardia palms may be
next to catch the eye, having
been seen in no other city. These
young trees, six feet tall or less,
are each a bundle of half doz-
en- giant palm-leaf fans, circular
and plated, three feet or so across
and naturally trimmed to saw
teeth edge, in contrast to the
longer tips of other fan palms;
and silvery or yellow-green, they
stand out distinctly from all 9TH
er foliage. Later we may note
older specimens with 10-foot
trunks, with smaller leaves, and
bearing on long stems orange
heads of bloom or fruit like
sorghum cane, coming out from
among the crown of leaves; pen
dent, we believe, in the species
Thurstoni. and erect, though oft
en- bent or broken in P. paci-
flea.
"Cocoanut palms are every
where in evidence; and toward
the south shore they line the
streets in beautiful groves that
dominate and give their own
character to the locality. There
is an indefinable charm to their
wide-sweeping fronds, curled
and crested in the upper ones;
and never do they reach the heart
more than just after shutdown,
seen against the last evening
glow of the sky. Cocoanuts al
ways have their Threats wrapped;
one scarf above another until
there are a half dozen of them,
and they are always blooming
and carrying young nuts like
acorns with scaly bases. Cocoa
nut bloom is like corn tassels,
light yellow in color, coming out
between the bases of the leaves;
but the young nuts are on the
same strands just below the tas-
sci part; and their tough stems
are rich yellow, and their model
ing at the joints would delight a
sculptor When the size of large
eggplant they are ready with
milk, and it is a common sight to
see the green ones on the ground
with a hole cut where the stem
once was. Cocoanuts produce,
when thrifty, continuous quaint
ties of nuts; sometimes they are
strung like currants on their
string, but packed as closely as
bananas, one stem being all a
man could carry.
