Ip^alme 



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



Areca Lutescens. One of the most graceful and beautiful Palcos in culti- 

 vation ; the foliage is of a bright glossy green, with rich golden-yellow stems.
