VALUABLE PALMS. 



^PFPIAI flFFFR I will send Five Choice Palms of my selection only, for 50 Cents, postpaid. Indispensable 

 orL^i^a-, v/i 1 n\ for al | Decorations for the House. They increase two fold in value each succeeding year. 



LATAN I A BORBONICA— The well known favorite Fan Palm' 

 beautiful in all stages of growth. No plant is more easily 

 grown, and none more tenacious of life, enduring alike the 

 dust, cold and heat from open windows and gas-heated air 

 of our dwellings. The demand for this particular kind is 

 perhaps five times that of any other. Leaves large, fan- 

 shaped, of cheerful green color. Plants of hardy constitu- 

 tion, and adapted to all decorative purposes, within or with- 

 out doors; appreciated by all the plant-loving community. 

 With age the plant attains noble proportions, and becomes 

 very valuable. When too large for the house it can readily 

 be sold. Small plants, 10 cents; extra large stocky plants, 50 

 cents, $1.00, $2.00, $3.00 and $5.00. 



SEAFORTH1A ELEGANS— A most useful conservatory or 

 lawn plant Leaves from 2 to 10 feet long. Largely grown 

 on account of its hardy constitution and usef ul"and grace- 

 ful character. They soon develope into noble specimens. 

 Nice young plants, 20 cents each; large plants, 50 cents and 

 $1.00 each. 



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, arid the entire 

 foliage is gracefully disposed. The trunk and stems are a 

 golden yellow, irregularly spotted with bronzy green, giving 

 it a peculiar charm. Small plants, 25 cents; large plants, 50 

 cents; extra large stocky plants, $1.50 and $2.50 each. 



PHCENIX RECLIN ATA— Beautiful reclinate foliage. A grac- 

 ful and exceedingly ornamental Palm. Nice plants 25 'cents, 

 50 cents, $1.00 and $2.00 each. 



CORYPHA AUSTRALIS— One of the most valuable 

 greenhouse Palms. Leaves very circular, margin di- 

 vided into small segments, dark green, of easy cul- 

 ture. Small plants, 25 cents; large size, 50 cents 

 each. 



PALM LIVISTONA ROTUNDIFOLtA 

 MINIATURE FAN PALM, LIVISTONA ROTUNDI- 



FOLIA— Resembling Latania Borbonica: very much 

 more dwarf and compact in habit, and having much 

 smaller and handsomer leaves, which are of the most 

 perfect shape. The leaves are circular in form, only 

 about eight to ten inches in diameter, and deeply 

 toothed. Very small plants throw up an unusual num- 

 ber of these beauitful leaves, furnishing the plant, 

 making verj* perfect specimens when onl3* a foot high 

 —plants of this height having as many as a dozen well 

 developed, perfect leaves. Makes a lovely plant for 

 table decoration. No Palm makes such perfect speci- 

 mens when small; has a distinct place among decora- 

 tive plants; a charming addition to the limited num- 

 ber of plants really adapted for house decoration. 

 Verv scarce. Price for nice young plants, 50 cents; 

 those showing full character, $1.00 and $2.00. 



KENTIA BELMOREANA— The Kentias are among the 

 best of the Palm species for general cultivation, be- 

 ing almost impregnable against diseases. This variety 

 is one of the best in its class, gracefullv disposed; as 

 a decorative plant for the window, dinner table or 

 conservatory it scarcely has an equal. Nice young 

 plants, 40 cents: extra good plants, $1.00; extrastrong, 

 stocky plants, $2.00 each. 



WASHINGTONIA FILLIFERA— A beautiful Palm; has 

 elegant dark green fan-shaped leaves, from which 

 hang thread-like filaments. Price, 15 cents each.
