No colleciion of plants is complete without Palms. Their bold, majestic 

 yet graceful foliage lends a grandeur and magnificence that cannot be 

 ubtained liy any oiher class of plants, and no decoration, whether in 

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

 the varieties ofiiered are of the easiest culture, succeeding under the most 

 ordinary conditions. Our facilities for producing this class of stock are the 

 most complete in the country, 35 of our largest houses — over three acres of 

 greenhouse structure — being devoted to them alone, enabling us to supply 

 all the leading anti popular sorts at the most reasonable prices.

Our Celebrated Offer of Palms. 



We will send prepaid to any address in the United States a 

 strong, titntty plant each of Areca Lutescens. Kentia Belmoreana, 

 Keiuia Y crsteriana, Latania Borbonica and Cocos for $i.oo. 



We have sent out thousands of these collections to every State 

 in the Union, and have received numerous reports testifying to 

 their great value. 



COCOS FLEXUOSUS, 



A tall, slender-growing plant with finely divided pinnae, es- 

 pecially valuable for such sections of the country as Louisiana 

 and California, where it may be grown planted out in the 

 open air. 



We offer a limited number of 9 inch pots, 8 feet high, with 

 3 to 4 leaves, at $10.00 each. 



COCOS WEDDELIANA. 



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

 slender, erect stem is freely furnished with its gracefully arching 

 leaves, of a rich green color. Admirable for fern-dishes, as 

 they are of slow growth and maintain their beauty for a long 

 time. 3-inch pots, 12 inches high, 25 cts. each. Specimen 

 plants, $2.00 and $3.00 each. 



ELAEIS GUINEENSIS (The ou PaUn). 



A beautiful species, with c^ark green pinnate foliage of rapid 

 and easy growth ; 4-inch pots, 15 inches high, 75 cents each. 



KENTIAS. 



The Kentias, both Belmoreana and Forsteriana, are the hard- 

 iest in cultivation, and give belter 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, 

 1 he two varieties are of similar appearance, the former being 

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

 ■with broader, heavier foliage.
