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 acomparatively low tem- 
perature. Asa 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; in 
such cases we will use our judgment in selecting.

\ charm.
