KENTIAS. 



The Kentins, both Beimorea.iia and Forsteri^na, are the hardiest in cultiva- 

 tion, and give better satisfaction as a liouse plant than any other varieties. They 

 are of slow growth, and ars not affected by the dust and dry atmosphere of the 

 hoBse, and were we to select one Palm only, it certainly would be a Kentia. 

 The two varieties are of similar appearance, the former being dwarfer and more 

 spreading, and the latter is of stronger growth with broader, heavier foliage.
