Palms and Other Decorative 

 Plants. 



Our collection of the several most suitable and 

 most desirable species for parlor or conservatory 

 culture is extensive. Particular attention has been 

 paid to the selection of kinds, and great care is 

 bestowed on their culture to have them thoroughly 

 prepared, as regards appearance and constitution, to 

 fit them for their requirements. We have special 

 kinds and sizes for parlor culture, and likewise 

 additional ones better adapted for the conservatory. 

 This class of plants has become exceedingly popular, 

 but they are well deserving of all the attention they 

 receive. They are very easy of culture, for contrary 

 to popular supposition, they may be grown in the 

 parlor to as great perfection as in the conservatory, 

 and with no particular attention. 



We have quoted only the small and medium sizes, 

 but in addition to these we have in stock some very 

 handsome and large specimens of the several species 

 suitable for furnishing conservatories or large halls. 

 Prices on these we will cheerfully furnish on appli- 

 cation. 



FERNS. 



As conservatory specimens, parlor ornaments, or 

 for general decorative purposes, the many delicate, 

 beautiful species of Ferns stand almost unrivalled. 

 The medium-sized and smaller kinds are admirably 

 adapted for planting in rock work in the conserva- 

 tory and for the fernery in the parlor. Our collec- 

 tion is large and varied. 



Price, 25c and upwards, according: to variety and 

 size. 



We enumerate here only a few of the many species 

 we cultivate, but these are the most popular, and 

 moreover those of easiest culture, and never fail to 

 give satisfaction.
