CYCAS REVOLUTA 



(SAGO PALH). 



These are magnificent plants of noble and majestic habit, and most 



impressive. They are probably the most valuable decorative plants 



grown, both for lawn and house decoration ; their heavy glossy, deep 



green fronds resist alike the gas, dust and cold, to which decorative 



plants are frequently exposed. We grow an immense stock of them 



and have this season an exceptionally fine lot in popular sizes for 



house decoration. _ .
