PALMS, FOR HOME ADORNMENT. 



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. Our facilities for producing this class of stock are the most complete in the country, 35 of oui 

 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.
