Dreer's Autumn Catalogue, 1902. 

 KENTIAS. 



The Kentias, both Belmoreana and Forsteriana, are the hardiest in cul- 

 tivation, 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 of stronger 

 growth with broader, heavier foliage. We also offer several of the rarer 

 varieties of this beautiful genus.
