PALMS AND OTHER 
ORNAMENTAL PLANTS. 
Palms are universally acknowledged to be the 
most useful, as well as the most attractive 
plants in cultivation. 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 attractive- | 
ness. 
The-varieties we offer are the most popular, | 
all in great demand and all very easy of culti- | 
vation. |
