PALMS. 



Palms are now indispensable in all decorations, whether for apartments, conservatories or for tropical bedding in 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 of our largest houses devoted to their cultivation alone, which enables us to supply all the leading 

 and popular varieties at most reasonable prices.

 all the smaller Palms. Its slender erect stem is freely fur- 

 nished with its gracefully arching leaves, made up of in-

 of slow growth and maintain their beauty for a long time.
