i ^^^ der the most ordinary conditions. Our facilities for producing this class of 



stock is the most complete in this country, 35 of our largest houses — over three acres 



of oreenhouse structure — being devoted to them alone, etiabling us to supply all the 



leading and popular sorts at the most reasonable prices.

COCOS WEDDEEIANA. 



The most elegant and 

 graceful of all the smaller 

 Palms. Its slender erect 

 stem is freely furnished 

 with its gracefully arch- 

 ing leaves, of a rich green 

 color. Admirable for 

 fern-dishes, as they are 

 of slow growth and main- 

 tain their beauty for a 

 long time. (See cut.) 

 3 in pots, 12 in. high, 

 25 cts. each; 4-in. pots, 

 15 in. high. 50 cts. each. 



COCOS 



INSIGNIS. 



This may be called a 

 strong-growing C. IVed- 

 deliana, being identical 

 except that the foliage is 

 larger and heavier and of 

 stronger growth. 4-inch 

 pots, 3 plants in a pot, 15 inches high, 75 

 cts. e.ich. 



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 cer- 

 tainly would be a Kentia. The two varie- Cocos 

 ties are of similar appearance, the former 

 being dwarfer and more spreading, and the latter is o 

 broader, heavier foliasre.
