[Continued.] There are other varieties of Palms which no doubt will prove hardy in our climate, but it seems prudent that we should confine ourselves to varieties which are sufficiently well known to be adapted to this coast. The most graceful and elegant of tropical plants are undoubtedly the Tree-ferns, and if we can grow them, or some of them, in the open air here, they would soon become the most pop- ular decorative plants. The opinions of practical men differ as to the hardi- ness of Tree-ferns; however, these opin- ions are not based on practical experi- ence, and therefore are of little value. Tree-ferns require moisture and a fair degree of heat to grow them luxuriant- ly, yet they have a season of rest, and during that time the agency of moist- ure is a minor consideration. I am convinced that the atmosphere near the Coast Range is sufficiently moist for the growth of Tree-ferns, such as Dicksonia antarctica, Alsophila excelsa, and others. The only objectionable feature I find is, Vol. IV.—34. the heavy winds, which prevail in cer- tain exposed localities to such an ex- tent that the fragile and rather delicate fronds would be disfigured; and unless the fronds can be had in perfection, Ferns are of little value as decorative plants. But there are many localities sufficiently protected from strong winds j, where Tree-ferns would vegetate freely.. Specimen plants can be readily obtain- ed now in this market at a reasonable rate, and I hope that some of our enter- prising amateurs will give them a fair trial in their grounds. The most hardy Tree-ferns, to the best of my knowledge, are the Cibotiums (Pulu-ferns) of the Sandwich Islands. The trunks of these Ferns are thick, and therefore less liable to be affected by the chilling winds which prevail near the coast; the
