PALMS AND OTHER ORNAMENTAL PLANTS FOR HOUSE CULTURE 



Palms are universally acknowledged to be 

 the most useful, as well as the most attrac- 

 tive plants in cultivation, possessing a beauty 

 peculiarly their own. 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 at- 

 tractiveness. 



The varieties we offer are the most popular, 

 all in great demand and all very easy of cul- 

 tivation.

the small Palms; extensively used as table
