Kentias. 



The Kentias, both Belmoreana and 

 Forsteriana, are the hardiest in cultiva- 

 tion, 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 atmos- 

 phere 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 Areca Lutescens. 



dwarfer and more spreading, and the 



latter is of stronger growth with broader, heavier foliage. We also offer below 

 and on next page several of the rarer varieties of this beautiful genus. 



]VTO 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 decora- 

 tion, whether in the conservatory, hall or sitting-room, is complete 

 without them. Nearly all the varieties offered are of the easiest cul- 

 ture, 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 popu- 

 ar sorts at the most reasonable prices.
