PALHS, FOR HOnE ADORNriENT. 



NO collection of plants is complete without Palms. Their bold, majestic, yet graceful, foliage lends a grandeur and magnifi- 

 cence that cannot be obtained by any other class of plants, and no decoration, whether in the conservatory, hall or sitting 

 room, is complete without them. 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 lead- 

 ing and popular sorts at the most reasonable prices.
