Palms are universally acknowledged to be 

 the most useful, as well as the most attrac- 

 tive plants in cultivation, possessing a beauty 

 peculiarly their own. For conservatory adorn- 

 ment they stand pre-eminently foremost, and 

 for parlor or hall decoration they are without 

 an equal. They are also extensively used for 

 tropical bedding, for which purpose they are 

 exceedingly effective; and as a center plant 

 in a vase they excel all other plants in at- 

 tractiveness. 



The varieties we offer are the most popular, 

 all in great demand and all very easy of cul- 

 tivation.

NOTE 



We make the cultivation of Palms 

 a specialty; particularly in their 

 preparation for house culture, for 

 which they are so admirably 

 adapted. 



PANDANUS UTIL1S. 



SANSEVIERIA ZEYLANICA. 



A most remarkable plant, highly or- 

 namental and very easily grown. Few 

 plants equal it for house culture. Gas, 

 dust, heat, cold, drought or overwater- 

 ing, through them all it seems to flour- 

 ish. It is equally at home in the full 

 light ( or in the shady corner. The 

 leaves are thick and fleshy, dark green 

 in color, beautifully marked "with bars 

 of creamy white. Price, each 25c to 50c. 



ARECA LUTESCENS. 



LATA1VIA BORBOMCA. 

 (Chinese Fan Palm.) 



This is the well-known broad fan- 

 leaved Palm with which all lovers of 

 ornamental plants are familiar, and it 

 has long since established its position 

 in the list of decorative house plants. 

 In rapidity of growth the Latania ex- 

 cels somewhat other popular varieties 

 and has a lustre of leaf not attained to 

 by other Palms. A great favorite.
