NOTICE. — It may be well to state here that young Palms do not resemble the illustrations 

 given, as they do not show their character leaves until the second year, so that when you 

 get your small Palm plants, and see long, narrow leaves instead of the character leaves as 

 shown in the illustrations, do not think the wrong kind has been sent you. : : : : 



EENTIA BELMOREANA. 



This is one of the finest pot plants imaginable, and the easiest 

 to grow of any of the Palm family. Being almost hardy, it is 

 not injured by slight changes in temperature, and its stiff, glossy 

 leaves enable it to stand the dry, hot air of the living room with- 

 out injury. The leaves are a deep, glossy green, fan shaped, 

 split deeply into segments. This is, ■without exception, the 

 most hardy of us class. Very graceful for table decoration. It 

 is scarcely equaled, and were we to select one Palm only it cer- 

 tainly would be a Kenua.

ARECA LUTESCENS. 



This majestic Palm is without a peer for strength and elegance 

 combined. Its dark, glossy, green leaves are gracefully curved 

 on slender stems, and the entire foliage is gracefully disposed. 

 The trunk and stems are a golden yellow, irregularly spotted 

 with bronzy green, giving it a peculiar charm. The built up 

 plants of this Palm, that is, three plants in a pot, are very hand- 

 some and deservedly popular.

CYCAS REVOLUTA.— Sago Palm. 



These are magnificent plants of noble, majestic habit and 

 most impressive. They are probably the most valuable decora- 

 tive plants grown, both for lawn and house decorations. Their 

 heavy, glossy, deep green frondsresist alike the gas, dust, dry 

 heat'and cold to which decorative plants are frequently ex- 

 posed.

 exquisitelv graceful among Palms. Its wide-spreading, grace-

 of all the Palms.
