 cultivation. The finely cut leaves are

 tains its freshness for a long time 

 while for dinner table decoration it 

 is unexcelled. Price, $1.10 each

This is one of the most exquisitely 

 graceful among the smaller palms.

 most valuable of the Phcenixes, of

KENTIA BELiHOREANA, 



The Kentias are among the best of the palm species for general cultivation beiag 

 almost impregnable against diseases. The variety shown in the engraving is one 

 of the best in its class, graceful habit, bright green foliage gracefully disposed; as 

 a decorative plant for the window, dinner table or conservatory it scarcely has an 

 equal. (See Cut.) Price, strong plants, 2 feet high, $3-00 each; strong plants, 18 

 in. high, $1.50 each. Plants from 4 in. pots, 75c. each; small plants, cSic. each.

PTYCHOSPERMA ALEXANDRA. 



A very elegant species, rare in cultivation, but on account of its many good 



qualities and great hardihood is destined to become very popular when known. 



The leaves are pinnate and beautifully arched; of a pretty pink when young but 



green when mature: tall, slender trunk. Price, fine plants from 6 in. pots $1.50 each.

 ble to describe. \\ e can supply 12 

 varieties, all entirely distinct. Price, 

 5Cc. each; set of 12sorts for $5.00. 



Pandanus 



Gramniformis. 



A distinct variety of this useful 

 species. The foliage is a rich green 

 gracefully drooping and toothed like 

 the others. As a centre plant for 

 boxes, baskets or vases, it is extreme- 

 ly valuable. Price, $1.00 each. 



Aspidistra Lurida "Var. 



A splendid plant for home orna- 

 ment. Broad, strong foliage beauti- 

 fully variegated green and white.

 have seen plants remain in good con- 

 dition for years where all others fail- 

 ed. Price", $1.00 each. 



KENTIA BELMOREANA. 



RUBBER PLANTS: 



We have a splendid stock of this useful and ornamental plant, which will flourish 

 under the most adverse conditions. Price, $1.00 each, 12 to 15 in. high. Fine plants 

 2 feet high, well colored, $2.00 each. 



VARIEGATED RUBBER PLANTS. 



This is unquestionably among the finest of decorative plants for every purpose. 

 The foliage is as large as the plain green variety and is healthfully marked with 

 creamy white and pea green on a dark, glossy green ground. It is equally hardy as 

 the green variety. It is as yet somewhat scarce but will be undoubtedly popular, 

 when better known. Price, fine plants, 18 in. high, $4.00 each. 



VARIEGATED OLEANDER. 



Another very handsome plant for window and conservatory. It is distinctly mark- 

 ed rich creamy white on a dark green ground. It flowers as well as the common sorts 

 and when in bloom the effect is charming, even when not in flower its appearance is 

 strikingly beautiful. Price, strong plants, $1.00 each. 



CURCUEIGO RECURVATA. 



A stately palm, with broad gracefully arched recurved foliacre. Owing to the form 

 and manner in which the leaves are poised on the stems the slightest motion of the air 

 causes them to oscillate. Price, large plants, $3.00 each; small plants, 7">c. each.
