PALMS— Continued. 



ARECA VERSCHAFFELTII. 



A beautiful species with large pinnate leaves of a light green with creamy 

 mid-rib and stems, while the trunk is bronzy purple ; 4-inch pots, 12 inches 

 high, 50 cts. each. 



CEROXYI.I.ON NIVEUM. 



A very rare Palm of imposing habit, large, broad foliage, which is of a 

 silvery white on under side. §2.00 each. 



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 Pahn only, it certainly would 

 be a Kentia. The two varieties are of similar appearance, the former beinf 

 dwarfer and more spreading, and the latter is of stronger growth with broader, 

 heavier foliage.
