NO collection of plants is complete without Palms. Their bold, majestic 

 yet graceful foliage lends a grandeur and magnificence tliat cannot lie- 

 obtained by any other class of plants, and no decoration, whether in the 

 conservatory, hall or sitting-room, is complete without them. Nearly all the 

 varieties offered are of the easiest culture, succeeding under the most ordinarv 

 conditions. Our facilities for producing tliis 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 them alone, enabling us to sup- 

 ply all the leading and popular sorts at the most reasonable 

 prices,

KENTIAS. 



^^S^ The Kenlias, 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 growtli, 

 and are not affected by the dust and dry atmosphere of the 

 house, and were we to select one Pahri only, it certainly 

 would be a Kentia. The two varieties are of similar ajipenr- 

 ance, the former being dwarfer and more spreading, and the 

 latter is of stronger growth with broader, he.nvier foliage. We 

 also offer on next page several of the rarer varieties of this beauti- 

 ful genus
