Window of PALMS. 
THE SIX PLANTS SHOWN IN CUT AND DESCRIBED BELOW. 
These young Palms and kindred plants are easily grown into large specimens, one year’s 
growth increasing their value four-fold at least. As some will, no doubt, want larger 
plants we offer them in two sizes; the larger size will make a fine display at once as 
they all show character leaves. Wecansend the second size collection free by 
mail, if desired, but we advise that they be sent by express (buyer to pay charges) 
as in that case we can send larger plants and will leave all the soil on the roots, 
an undoubted advantage. The first size we cannot send by mail. 
GREVILLEA ROBUSTA. (The Silk Oak.) A magnificent plant for decora- 
tive purposes, of rapid, easy growth, finely cut foliage, rivaling a rare fern. 
The young growths are a light bronze color, the tips being covered with a 
soft down closely resembling raw silk, hence the name of ‘‘ Silk Oak.” 
First size, 50c. each; second size, 25c. each. 
LATANIA BORBONICA. (Fan Palm.) The typical Palm and recog- 
nized as being indispensable in every collection. The second size of 
this plant willnot have the fan-shaped (also called character) leaves ; 
they develop the 2d year. First size, 75c.; second size, 25c. each.

the grandest and most useful Palms in cultivation, full of grace 
and beauty. First size, 75c. each; second size, 30c. each.

plant is unsurpassed for hardiness in the house and emi- 
nently fitted to contrast with palms and other decorative

KENTIA BELMOREANA. (The Curly Palm.) The 
finest, perhaps, of all Palms for house culture, and

second size, 35c. each. 
CYPERUS ALTERNIFOLIUS. (The Umbrella 
Palm.) Happily styled ‘‘The Umbrella Palm” 
as the leaves radiate from the stem and curve 
downward in gracefulfashion. Of the easiest 
culture, a beautiful living green, and will 
prove satisfactory in any collection. First 
size, 50c. each; second size, 25c. each.
