 peer for strength and elegance com- 

 bined. Its dark, glossy green leaves

 stems, and the entire foliage is 

 gracefully disposed. The trunk and 

 stems are a golden yellow, irregu- 

 larly spotted with bronzy green, 

 giving it a peculiar charm. Price,

Coeos Weddeliana. 



This beautiful palm is unques- 

 tionably the most elegant and 

 graceful in cultivation. The finely 

 cut leaves are recurved with ex- 

 quisite grace. It is admirably 

 adapted for the centres of jardin- 

 ieres and fern dishes, as it retains 

 its freshness for a long time, while 

 for dinner-table decoration it is un- 

 excelled. Price, fine plants, 18 to 

 24 ins. high, $2.00 each ; 10 to 12 

 Ins. high, 75c. each. Smaller plants, 35c. each.

 will flourish under the most adverse conditions. Price, $1.00 each, 12 to 

 15 ins. high. Fine plants, 2 feet high, $1.50 each. 



Pandanus TJtilis. 



Pandanus is perhaps the most useful of our ornamental foliage plants. 

 As a vase plant or single specimen in greenhouse or conservatory it can- 

 not be surpassed. It is also largely used to decorate the halls in our 

 finest private residences. Price, fine plants, from 4-in. pots, 50c. each ; 

 from 3-in. pots, 30c. each. 



Palms and DeeoFath/e Plants. 



Iiatania Borboniea. (pan Palm.)

 SI. 00 each; 6-in. pots, $2.00 each; 7-in. pots, $3.00 each. Specimen

Kentia Belmoreana. 

 The Kentias are among the best of the Palm species for general cul- 

 tivation, being 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.

 grade, fine plants, $2.00 each; strong plants, 20 to 24 ins. high, $1.50

 35c. each. 



Draeazna Indivisa. 

 Of all the plants in use for centres of vases, 

 baskets, or for beds in the open ground,

 Plant." Price, 50c. and $1.00 each,

 symmetry of form, grace and beauty 

 of foliage are unequaled in the veg- 

 etable kingdom. (See cut.) Price, 

 20 to 30 ins. high, $3.00, $4.00 and
