Decorative Plants, Palms, Pandanus, Etc. 



There are no plants more attractive than those offered on this page, and none which yield more 

 pleasure to the cultivator for the amount of care bestowed. Our Palms are grown specially for house 

 culture, and are particularly hardy and thrifty, because grown in a comparatively low temperature. 

 As a basis for selecting and guide as to what may be expected, we mention the sizes and number of 

 leaves, according to prices, but these are approximate only; plants are constantly developing, and a 

 shorter one often appears better than a taller one; iu such cases we will use our judgment in 



selecting. 



ARECA LUTESCENS. 



This majestic Palm is without a peer for 

 strength and elegance combined. Its dark 

 glossy green leaves are gracefully curved on 

 slender stems and the entire foliage is grace- 

 fully disposed. The trunk and stems are a 

 golden yellow, irregularly spotted with 

 bronzy green, giving it a peculiar charm. 



Price, specimen plants, 3 to ZYz ft. high, 

 $4.00 each; 2 ft., 9 to 12 leaves, $2.00; 18 to 24 

 in., 4 to 6 leaves, $1.00; 3 plants in a pot, 20 

 to 24 in., 75c; $7.50 per doz. 



PANDANUS VEITCHII. 



This is a grand decorative plant. Its beau- 

 tiful form, with vivid green and creamy 

 white variegation, added to its vigorous 

 growth, makes it indispensable in every 

 collection. Price, $2.00 each. 



KENTIA BELMOREANA. 



KENTIA BELMOREANA. 



This is sometimes called the 

 "Curly Palm," and is recognized 

 as among the best for all purposes, 

 being capable of standing more ill- 

 usage perhaps than any other. The 

 leaves have a tendency to curl as 

 the plants grow older, hence its 

 popular title of " Curly Palm." 

 Our plants are of stout, stocky 

 growth, and are sure to give satis- 

 faction. 



Price, specimen plants, 2 to 3 ft. 

 high, $3 00 to $5.00 each; 2 ft. high, 

 5 to 6 leaves, $2.00 each; 18 to 24 in. 

 high, 4 to 6 leaves, $1.00 each, $9.00 

 per doz.; 20 to 24 in., 3 to 4 leaves, 

 50c. each, $5.00 per doz ; 15 to 18 in. 

 high, 3 to 5 leaves, $3 50 per doz.; 

 12 to 15 in., 3 to 4 leaves, $2.00 per 

 doz , $15 00 per 100. Plants from 

 5 in. pots, 3 plants in pot, 75c. per 

 pot, 87 50 per doz. 



Cocos Weddeliana. This beautiful Palm is unquestionably the 

 most elegent and graceful in cultivation. It is admirably adapted 

 for the centers of jardinieres and Fern dishes, as it retains its 

 freshness for a long time, while for dinner-table decoration it is 

 unexcelled. Price, 12 to 15 inches high, 

 $3.00 per doz., $20.00 per 100; 6 to 8 inches, 

 $2.00 per doz , $15.00 per 100. 



PANDANUS UTILIS. 



For majesty of form and gracefully ar- 

 ranged foliage this is without a peer. As an 

 ornament for the window its glossy dark 

 green serrated foliage renders it unusually 

 attractive, while as a vase plant or single 

 specimen in greenhouse or conservatory it 

 cannot be surpassed. 



Price, fine plants, from 4 in. pots, $25.00 

 per 100. 



Seaforthia Eleg'ans. Invaluable on ac- 

 count of its rapid growth and gracefully 

 arched foliage. Price, plants from 3 in. 

 pots, $12 00 per 100. 



LATANIA B0RB0NICA. 



This is the typical Palm, and is more 

 largely used than any other. Its strong 

 healthy habit commends to it all, 

 and gives it a fitness for window 

 and room culture not possessed in 

 the same degree perhaps by any 

 other. (See cut). Price, 2 ft., 5 to 

 7 leaves, $3.00 each; 18 to 20 in., 4 

 to 5 leaves, $1.25 each. 



RUBBER PLANTS. 



We have a splendid stock of this 

 useful and ornamental plant, which 

 will flourish under the most ad- 

 verse conditions. Price, 12 to 15 in. 

 high, $5.00 per doz.; 20 to 24 in. high, 

 $1.25 each, $12.00 per doz. 



0TAHEITE ORANGE. 



DRACVENA INDIVI8A 



from 4 in. 



A dwarf orange, which bears a 

 profusion of fragrant flowers and 

 edible fruit. One of the most effec- 

 tive pla ts for decorative purposes when in fruit. Those we 

 offer from 4 inch pots, are strong plants, which will probably 

 flower and bear fruit the coming season. Price, stocky plants, 

 pots, $5.00 per doz.; 3 in. pots, $1.50 per doz , $12.00 per 100. 



DRAC/ENA INDIVISA. 



Of all the plants in use for centers of 

 vases, baskets, or for beds in the open 

 ground, nothing is so valuable as this. 

 From its graceful, drooping habit it is 

 sometimes called the " Fountain Plant." 



Price, 6 in. pots, 24 to 30 in. high, good 

 centers, $4.00 per doz., $30.00 per 100. Same 

 height but not so heavy, $3.00 per doz., 

 $20.00 per 100; 15 to 20 in. high, $2.00 per 

 doz. , $15.00 per 100. Plants from 3 in. pots, 

 1 year old, $1.00 per doz., $8.00 per 100. 



DRAC/ENA FRAGRANS. 



One of the finest of our ornamental- 

 leaved plants; deep green, broad, gracefully 

 drooping leaves. Our stock of this is 

 grand and the price is low. Price, plants 

 18 to 20 inches high, $1.50 each. 



ARAUCARIA EXCELSA. 



(Norfolk Island Pine.) Deep green, 

 feathery foliage, arranged in whorls, ris- 

 ing one above the other at regular dis- 

 tances; its symmetry of form, grace and 

 beauty of foliage are unequaled in the 

 vegetable kingdom. 



Price, 12 to 15 inches high, 4 to 5 tiers, 

 $2.00 each. 



PHINIX RECUNATA. 



A fine, large-growing Palm of easy 

 growth, very sturdy and graceful. It will 

 stand much neglect without injury, fine 

 for vases. 



Price, 20 to 24 inches high, 5 to 7 leaves, 

 $1.25 each. Large plants, 3 feet high and 

 wide, $2.50 each. 



LATANIA BORBONICA.
