 stems.

Areca Verscliaffeltii. 



A splendid Palm, with finely-divided pinnre of a deep green 

 color with yellowish midrib. 3-inch pots, 15 inches high, 50 

 cts. each; 5-inch pots, 24 inches high, $1.50 each; 6-inch 

 pots, 30 inches high, $2.50 each. 



Arenga Saoharifera. 



In a large specimen this is a most striking and attractive 

 Palm. The ends of the leaves have a cut appearance like those 

 of the Fish-tail Palm, and of a rich deep green color. 6-inch 

 pots, 30 inches high, $2.50 each ; 7-inch pots, 36 inches high, 

 ^3.50 each. 



Bactris Major. 



Not a new, but a comparatively rare Palm, which, where 

 the temperature of a warm conservatory can be given, is an 

 interesting subject, on account of the many long spines with 

 which not only the stems, but also both surfaces of the leaves, 

 are densely covered. 3-inch pots, 10 to 12 inches high, gi-oo 

 each ; 6-inch pots, 30 inches high, ^3.00 each. 



Cooos Weddeliaua. 



The most elegant and graceful of all the smaller Palms. Its 

 slender, erect ster-i is freely furnished with its gracefully archmg 

 leaves, of a rich green color. Admirable for fern dishes, as they 

 are of slow growth and maintain their beauty for a long time. 

 Young plants in 3-inch pots, 12 inches high, 25 cts. each ; 

 beautiful specimens in 5-mch pots, 18 to 24 inches high, ^1.50 

 each. Larger specimens $3.00 and ^5.00 each. 



Kentia Belmoreana. 



The Kentias are the hardiest Palms in cultivation. They are 

 of slow growth, and are less affected by the dust and dry atmos- 

 phere of the house than any others. The variety here offered is 

 of dwarf, spreading habit, with fine rich dark green foliage.

 high, $1.50 each. 



Latania Borbonica.

Livistona Rotnndifolia.

 makes almost a globular plant. Thrifty young plants in 3-inch 

 pots, 25 cts. each ; 4-inch pots, 50 cts. each. 



PhcBnix Roebelenii. 



The most graceful of the Phoenix, and a Palm which we feel 

 sure will become popular for room decoration. The plant is 

 of vigorous growth, and its gracefully recurving leaves, with very 

 narrow dark green pinna; give it a lightness and airiness not 

 surpassed, if equalled, by Cocos Weddeliana ; at the same time 

 it is as hardy as a Kentia, succeeding admirably as a house plant. 

 3-inch pots, 6 to 8 inches high, nicely characterized, $0 35 each
