PALMS- 



Palms are now indispensable for all decorations, -whether in or outdoors, and for tropical 

 bedding. They are easily grown, and increase their value two to fourfold pvery year. 



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. 



The following is a select list of rare and handsome varieties that can be recommended for apartments, conservatories, decora- 

 tions or vase plants during the Summer. They are all grand plants, and of the easiest culture.
