PALMS FOR HOME ADORNMENT

 yet graceful foliage lends a grandeur and magnificence that cannot be obtained 

 by any other class of plants, and no decoration, whether in the con- 

 servatory, hall or sitting room, is complete without them' 

 Areca Lutescens. One of the most graceful and beautiful Palms 

 in cultivation; the foliage is of a bright, glossy green; with yellow 

 stems.
