PETER HENDERSON'S PLANT CATALOGUE. 



PANDANUS UTILIS. 



Pandemias Htiilis, 



or Screw Pine. 



The noble species of Pandanus shown 

 in the above engraving is perhaps the 

 most useful of our ornamental foliage 

 plants. For majesty of form and graceful- 

 ly arranged foliage it is without a peer, 

 while its vigorous constitution enables it 

 to stand more neglect, without serious in- 

 jury, than almost any other plant we know 

 of. As an ornament for the window its 

 glossy dark green serrated foliage, which 

 glistens in the sunlight, renders it unusu- 

 ally attractive, while as a vase plant or 

 single specimen in green-house or con- 

 servatory it cannot be surpassed. It is 

 also largely used to decorate the halls in 

 our finest private residences, and shows 

 grandly on the lawn when grown to a 

 sufficient size.

1 This excellent Plant is well shown in the above cut. It is the 

 typical Palm, and is more largely used than any other. Its strong, 

 healthy habit commends it to all, and gives it a fitness for window 

 and room culture not possessed in the same degree by any other 

 Palm. (.See cut.)

I received the plants in fine condition. My thanks are due you for the extras, which were just what I should have chosen myself. All the plants have leaved out, 

 and promise a good growth. — Mas. S. A. Websteb, Creston, California, February Cth, 1889.
