PALMS ARD OTRER GRNAMERTAL PLANTS FOR HOUSE CULTURE 
The presence of a beautiful plant lends the 
finishing touch to a beautiful room. The kind 
of plant will complete or destroy the harmo- 
nious ensemble of its fittings. The room whose 
general make-up is one~-of dignity, poise and 
quiet beauty requires the complement of a 
plant of dignified, stately character; the room 
of lighter setting is best completed with a 
plant of no less beauty but of less pronounced 
stateliness of character. How much is the 
beauty of a massive staircase enhanced by the 
presence at an advantageous point of a stately 
Palm! Another plant, be it ever so striking, would 
perform but indifferent service in such a place. 
The Palm, on the other hand, might fit in per- 
fectly where another plant had found its proper 
sphere. This ready fitness is one of its dis- 
tinguishing attributes. It never seems entirely 
out of place. It rises to the oceasion, It finds 
its place, speaking from the standpoint of fit- 
ness, as readily in a sunny window-garden as 
in a somber drawing-room. Among the an- 
cients the Palm typified courage, steadfastness, | 
_vietory, and it thrives wherever it finds itself, 
living and growing, ascendant over its sur- 
roundings, the Su PTO MINE Ne of Victory, as well 
as its typification. 
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-eminentiy 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 piants in attrac- 
tiveness. 
The varieties we offer are the most popular, 
all in great demand and all very easy De eul- 
tivation.
