PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.—PLANT DEPARTMENT. 47 
The “Window” Collection of Palms. 
HESE we offer at very low prices for the collection so as to induce our customers to procure them, believing that 
there is nothing we offer which will give greater satisfaction for the money invested. These young Palms are easily 
grown into large specimens—one year’s growth increasing their value fourfold 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. We can send 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. Below we give short descriptions of the plants.
