O collection of plants is complete without Palms. Their bold, majestic 



yet graceful foliage lends a grandeur and magnificence that cannot be 



obtained by any other class of plants, and no decoration, whether in 



the conservatory, hall or sitting-room, is complete without them. Nearly all 



the varieties offered are of the easiest culture, succeeding under the most or- 



dinai-y conditions. Our facilities for producing this class of stock are the 



most complete in the countr)', 35 of our largest houses — over three acres of 



crreenhouse structure — being devoted to them alone, enabling us to supply all 



the leading and popular sorts at the most reasonable prices.

 others. The two varieties are of similar appearance, the former 

 being dwarfer and more spreading, and the latter is of stronger 

 growth, with broader, heavier foliage.
