Palm trees grow on Mt. Oread as well as in Flordia. Benana trees, coconut trees, magnolias, date palms and numerous other tropical plants grow at the University greenhouse. The greenhouse is maintained by the buildings and grounds department.

The main purpose of the green tundra to see tropical plants. The plants are also used by the grounds department for decoration and display. The palm trees will be used as commandment decorations.
The plants do not grow here as well in their natural habitat even though a tropical atmosphere is maintained. The greenhouse is kept humid at a temperature of 70 to 80 degrees in the day and 65 degrees at night.
Among the most interesting trees in the greenhouse are three banana trees which bear fruit. Usually 60 to 70 bananas grow on a stalk in the greenhouse trees but commercial trees usually bear 200 bananas to a plant.
The love flower of Gisela is one of many beautiful plants, in bloom now. It is covered with yellow bell-shaped flowers which have little or no fragrance.
One unusual plant in the greenhouse is the Monstera vine, K.U. has one of the largest such vines in the country according to Mr. James Reiter, landscape foreman. It has very large leaves and produces a fruit which looks like corn but according to Mr. Reiter the fruit tests like a mixture of banana and pineapple. The plant is named for its monstere appearance.
The greenhouse is behind Fowler shops and is open from 8 a.m. to 4:40 p.m. Mr.Reiter urges any student interested in seeing these plants to visit the greenhouse.
