DREER'S SELECT LIST. 



Palms are now indispensable in all decorations, vvhetner for apartments, 

 conservatories or for tropical bedding m Summer. The large demand the 

 past few years has induced us to considerably increase our facilities for 

 propagating and growing this class of stock, and we have now thirty-five of 

 our largest houses devoted to their cultivation alone, which enables us to 

 supply all the leading and popular varieties at most reasonable prices. The 

 varieties offered are those best adapted for house culture. / 



^ The heights given are from top of tot to top oj plant.) 



ARECA LUTESCENS. 



One of the most graceful and beautiful Palms in cultivation ; the foliage 

 is of a bright glossy-green, with rich golden-yellow stems. 



KENTIAS. 



The Kentias, both Belmoreana 

 and Forsteriana, are the hardiest 

 in cultivation and give better 

 satisfaction as a house plant than 

 any other varieties. They are 

 of slow growth, and are not 

 affected by the dust and dry 

 atmosphere of the house, 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.
