PALHS 



FOR HOME ADORNMENT 



No collection of plants is complete without Palms. Their 

 bold, majestic, yet graceful foliage lends a grandeur and mag- 

 nificence that cannot be obtained by any other class of plants, 

 and no decoration, whether in the conservatory, hall or sitting- 

 room, is complete without them. 



Areca Lutescens. One of the most graceful and beautiful 

 Palms in cultivation; the foliage is of a bright, glossy green, 

 with yellow stems. 



3-inch pots, bushy plants, 12 to 15 inches high. .$ 25 each.

COCOS Weddeliana. The most graceful and elegant of all 

 Palms. Its slender, erect stem is freely furnished with its 

 gracefully arching leaves, of a rich green color. The smaller

 fully, recurving leaves, with very narrow dark green pinnse 

 give it a lightness and airiness not surpassed, if equalled, by 

 Cocos Weddeliana; at the same time it is as hardy as a Ken- 

 tia, succeeding admirably as a house plant.
