NO 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 ot 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 ordinary 

 conditions. Our facilities for producing this class of stock are the most com- 

 plete in this country, 35 of our largest houses — over three acres of greenhouse 

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

 and popular sorts at the most reasonable prices. ^

KENTIAS. 



The Kentias, both Belmoreana and Forsteriana, are the hardiest 



in cultivation, 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 ol stronger 



growth with broader, 



heavier fojiage. We also 



offer on next page several of 



the rarer varieties of this 



beautiful genus.
