«* Palms and Other Decorative Plants for Homes ^ 



PHOENIX ROEBELENII. 



A new Palm is always inter- 

 esting, but when the newcomer 

 is easily the most graceful and 

 withal the hardiest, it is little 

 short of sensational. The horti- 

 cultural world has enthused over 

 this beautiful Palm. It has the 

 grace and lightness of Cocos Wed 

 delliana, but is more robust in 

 growth and has ten-fold the foli- 

 age of that fine variety. It is 

 essentially different from it, foli- 

 age from the ground up, grace- 

 fully recurved and spreading in 

 habit. It will be most popular 

 for house decoration. (See cut be- 

 low.) Price, plants from 4-in. pots. 

 $1.00 each; 5-inch pots, $1.50 each. 



Note. — We have in print a 

 leaflet giving full and practical 

 instructions on the care of Palms 

 and ornamental plants in dwelling 

 houses. Sent free on application
