Acanthophoenix 

 Crinita. 



An interesting Palm, with 

 feathered foliage, which is a 

 dark green above and silvery ( 

 beneath ; the stems and trunk 

 are thickly covered with short, 

 brown bristles and spines. Good 

 thrifty plants in 3^ inch pots, 12 

 inches high. SI. 50 each. 



Areca L,utescens. 



One of the most graceful and 

 beautiful Palms in cultivation ; 

 the foliage is of a bright glossy- 

 green, with rich golden-yellow 

 stems. 



NO collection of plants is complete without Palms. Their bold, majestic 

 yet graceful foliage lends a grandeur and magnificence that cannot be 

 obtained by any other class of plants, and no decoration, whether in the 

 conservatory, hall or sitting-room, is complete without them. Nearly all the 

 varieties offered are of the easiest culture, succeeding under the most ordinary 

 conditions. Our facilities for producing this class of stock is the most com- 

 plete in this country, 35 of our largest houses — over three acres of greenhouse 

 structure — being devoted to them alone, enabling us to supply all the leading 

 and popular sorts at the most reasonable prices. 



( The heights given are from top of pot to top of plant.) 



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. We also offer on next 

 page several of 'the rarer varie- 

 ties of this beautiful genus.
