 ful Palms in cultivation ; the foliage fs of a bright glossy-green, 

 with rich golden-yellovi' 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 ordin- 

 ary conditions. Our facilities for producing this class of stock are the most 

 complete 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.
