 glossy-green above, glaucous underneath; leaf-stalks chestnut- 

 brown, armed with black spines. 4-inch pots, $2.50 each. 

 Phoenix Roebelenii. The most graceful of the Phcenix, 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 pinna, give it a lightness and 

 airiness not surpassed, if equalled, by Cocos Weddeliana; at the 

 same lime it is as hardy as a Kentia, succeeding admirably as 

 a house plant.
