DREBE'S MID-SUMMER CATALOGUE.

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 of 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 

 is the most complete 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.
