lance-shaped, very much pointed. It is fully as hardy as the native Fan 
Palm, and differing widely from that variety in its habit of growth, color and 
style of foliage. A finer contrast cannot readily be imagined when the two 
are planted either opposite or alternately in rows. Small plants, 50 cts. to 
$1.50 each; large specimen plants, $3 to $8 each.
