Seventeen Years' Experience Back of Our 

 Methods of ^^^^^^ Palm Growing 



Seventeen years — and every year 

 we have learned something new! 

 Then it was only a small feature 

 of our business; now 

 we have several large 

 houses devoted to 

 Palms alone — in all 

 stages from the little 

 seedling plant to stately 

 specimens in large tubs, 

 such as we show here. 

 Our men, some of whom 

 have literally "grown up 

 with the business," are 

 real palm experts. 



Such palms as we grow 

 must be better than or- 

 dinary imported stuff — and 

 they are, as any number of our 

 customers will gladly testify. Ours 

 are clean, vigorous, healthy, accli- 

 mated : you can depend upon them 

 to give satisfaction, to please your 

 trade, to bring you more biisintss. And 

 yet, as you'll see, our prices are no 

 higher than you'd pay for the or- 

 dinary imported stock. 



Let "Heacock Quality" guide you In placing 

 your next order— we will give you the benefit of 

 the choicest selections from this splendid stock, 

 and can make shipments promptly.
