KENTIA BELMOREANA. 



PHOENIX ROEBELEJfn, 



A- beautiful variety of the popular Phoenix group, but recently 

 introduced in the commercial world of horticulture. Its long, 

 drooping, pinnate, almost fern-like leaves, covering the plant 

 from the ground up, the pinnae themselves gracefully recurved, 

 give the plant a dainty airiness and beauty not exceeded by 

 any other Palm. In addition it is surprisingly vigorous in 

 growth and indifferent to abuse. Fine specimen plants each 

 $1.00, $1.50, $5.00 and $8.00.

The most graceful of all the small Palms; extensively used as 

 table ornaments and as the center plant in ferneries. 25c to 

 $5.00 each. 



BOSTON OR SWORD FERN. — Nephrolepls Bostoniensis. 



"With increasing emphasis we again assert that the most pop- 

 ular plant for house culture to-day is the Boston Fern, and well 

 it deserves this recognition of its merits. It is very ornamen- 

 tal, even when quite small; but as with age it attains size and 

 its distinctive habit of growth, it makes a magnificent speci- 

 men, its long, drooping and gracefully arching fronds descend- 

 ing from a plumed mass of foliage which the young fronds 

 form at the top frequently reaching a length of from 4 to 6 feet. 

 For outdoor culture in shady places it is also excellent. 



Price — 15c to $5.00 each.

 dipping again at intervals as required.

PALMS AND OTHER 



ORNAMENTAL, PLANTS 



FOR HOUSE CULTURE. 



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. 



KENTIA. 



A very popular plant in greater demand than 

 any other species of the Palm family. This is 

 the Palm, as will readily be seen from the illus- 

 tration, which is observed with greatest fre- 

 quency in our homes and offices and which forms 

 the major part of Palm decorations. It succeeds 

 splendidly in the house, being almost proof 

 against dust and the usually dry atmosphere 

 of the living-room.

 ery in form and exceedingly graceful. The finest
