PALMS. 



Palms are now indispensable in all decorations, whether for apartments, conservatories, or for tropical bedding in 

 summer. The large demand the past few j-ears has induced us to considerably increase our facilities for propagating and 

 growing this class of stock, and we now have twenty houses devoted to their cultivation alone, which enables us to 

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