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 wiihput 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 com- 

 plete in this country, 35 of our largest houses — over three acres of greenhouse 

 structure — being devoted to ihem alone, enabling us to sup- 

 ply all the leading and popular sorts at the most reasonable 

 prices. V

geo]som:a gracilis. 



An elegant dwarf-growing species, with finely-feather f 

 foliage; similar to Cocos IVeJdeliatta. 3-inch pots, 10 incht-

KENTIAS. 



The Kentias, both Belmoreana and Forsteriana, are the 



hardiest in cultivation, 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 



/yy<,<^ 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 fonner 

 being dwarfer and more spreading, and 

 the latter is of stronger growth with 

 broader, heavier foliage. We also offer 

 on next page several of the rarer varie- 

 ties of this beautiful genus.
