 as the finest silk or lace. The fronds retain their freshness 

 for weeks when cut, and are greatly admired for floral 

 decoration. An exceedingly beautiful plant for house and 

 conservatory culture, and will thrive nicely in the temperature of an ordinary living-room. Entirely

 its leaves. It is a vigorous and healthy plant that anyone can grow, and is of bushy, compact form The 

 leaves are large and thick, with a peculiar velvety finish ; and the color is splendid, rich, purple crimson, like 

 real velvet — very bright and handsome, and entirely unlike anything else. The color does not bleach or fade, 

 but retains its beauty, whether planted in house or open ground. Highly recommended as one of the most 

 beautiful and satisfactory foliage plants for house or garden ever introduced. Price, 15 cts. each ; 2 for 

 25 cts. ; $1.25 per 'dozen, postpaid.
