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.
