CURRIE BROTHERS' HORTICULTURAL GUIDE. 



71 



ilms and Other Ornamental Plants for House Culture. 



This family of plants has a peculiar fascination for 

 even the most unobserving. It is a remarkable fact 

 that people who will dally pass by the most beautiful 

 and sweetest scented flowers without apparently notic- 

 ing them, are invariably arrested by a sight of almost 

 any of the Palm family, and they stand to admire them. 

 For conservatory adornment they stand prominently 

 foremost, and for parlor decoration they are without an 

 equal. They are also extensively used for tropical 

 bedding, for which purpose they are exceedingly effect- 

 ive, and as a center plant in a vase they are without a 

 peer. Our collection embraces a large assortment of 

 the leading kinds, prices and descriptions of which we 

 cheerfully furnish on application. We here enumerate 

 a few of the most popular, all of them in great demand.
