The most elegant and graceful of all the smaller Palms. Its

 of slow growth, and are less affected by the dust and dry atmos- 

 phere of the house than any others. The variety here offered is 

 of dwarf, spreading habit, with fine rich dark green foliage.

liivistona Rotnndifolia. 



A miniature fan-leaved Palm, which, in a finished specimen, 

 makes almost a globular plant. Thrifty young plants in 3-inch 

 pots, 25 cts. each ; 4-inch pots, 50 cts. each ; 5-inch pots, 

 75 cts. each. 



Phoenix Canariensis. 



One of the hardiest of the Date Palms, with dark green 

 feathery foliage, of strong growth, and is especially valuable for 

 outdoor decoration, as it stands sun and wind without the least 

 damage, even in exposed situations. Plants in lo-inch tubs, 3 

 feet high, ^6.00 each. 



Phoenix Roebelenii. 



The most graceful of the Phoenix, and a Palm which we feel 

 sure will become popular for room decoration. The plant is 

 of vigorous growth, and its gracefully recurving leaves, with very 

 narrow dark green pinnae, give it a lightness and airiness not 

 surpassed, if equalled, by Cocos Weddeliana ; at the same time 

 it is as hardy as a Kentia, succeeding admirably as a house plant. 

 3-inch pots, 6 to 8 inches high, nicely characterized, ^o 35 each
