PALMS 



FOR HOME ADORNMENT 



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. 

 Areca Lutescens. One of the most graceful and beautiful Palms 



in cultivation ; the foliage is of a bright, glossy green, with rich 



golden-yellow stems. 



3-inch pots, bushy plants 12 to 15 inches high $ 25 each.

Areca Verschaffelti. A splendid Palm, with finely divided pinnae 



of deep green color with yellowish midrib. 3-inch pots, 12 inches 



high, 50 cts. each. 4-inch pots, 15 inches high, 75 cts. each. 

 Arenga Saccharifera. 4-inch pots, 50 cts. each. 

 COCOS Weddeliana. The most graceful and elegant of all Palms. 



Its slender, erect stem is freely furnished with its gracefully arching 



leaves, of a rich green color. The smaller sizes are admirable for 



fern dishes, while the larger sizes are beautiful subjects for home 



adornment. Young plants in 3-inch pots, 25 cts. each. 

 Elaeis Quineensis. The Oil Palm, a very decorative species, 



with dark green pinnatified foliage. 4-inch pots, 50 cts. each. 



5-inch pots, $1.00 each. Specimens in 8-inch tubs, $3.00 to 



$5.00 each. 

 Kentia Belmoreana. The Kentias are the hardiest Palms 



in cultivation. They are of slow growth, and are less affected 



by the dust and dry atmosphere of the house than any others. 



The variety here offered is of dwarf, spreading habit, with 



fine rich dark-green foliage.

 house Palms, with pinnate foliage of a dark green color; the 

 stems are thickly set with long black spines. Fine young

 a Palm which has become one of the most popular for room 

 decoration. The plant is of vigorous growth, and its grace- 

 fully recurving leaves, with very narrow dark green pinnae, 

 give it a lightness and ariness not surpassed, if equalled, by 

 Cocos Weddeliana ; at the same time it is as hardy as a 

 Kentia, succeeding admirably as a house plant.
