 is the best Palm now in cultivation, being hardier than the 

 Phcenix, which it somewhat resembles, but is more graceful 

 and of a glaucous color.

Cocos Weddeliana. The most elegant and graceful of all the 

 smaller Palms. Admirable for fern dishes, as they are of slow 

 growth and maintain their beauty for a long time. 3-in. 

 pots, 10 inches high, 25 cts. each; beautiful specimens in 5- 

 inch pots, 18 to 24 inches high, gl. 50 each. 



Kentias. The Kentias give better satisfaction as a house plant 

 than any other variety. They are of slow growth, and are 

 not affected by the dry atmosphere of the house, and were we 

 to select one Palm only, it certainly would be a Kentia. 



T\j^ 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 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.
