30 Dreer’s Autumn Catalogue, 1898. 
PALMS—Continued. 
The Kentias, both Belmoreana and Forsteriana, are the hardiest in cultiva- 
tion and give better satisfaction as a house plant than any other varieties. They 
are of slow growth, and are not affected by the dust and dry atmosphere of the 
house, and were we to select one Palm only, it certainly would be a Kentia. 
The two varieties are of similar appearance, the former being dwarfer and 
more spreading, and the latter is of stronger growth with broader, heavier foli- 
age. See illustration of AK. Be/moreana in right foreground on back cover.
