KENTIAS. 



Kentia Belmoreana and Forsteriana are the hardiest Pahns in culti- 

 vation, and give better satisfaction as house plants than any other va- 

 rieties. 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 one of these. The two varieties are of similar ap- 

 pearance, the former being dwaifer and moie spreading, and the latter 

 of stronger growth, with broader, heavier foliage. We also offer several 

 of the rarer varieties of this beautiful genus.
