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 hor- 

 ticultural world has enthused 

 over this beautiful Palm. It 

 has the grace and lightness of 

 Cocos Weddelliana but is more 

 robust in growth and has ten- 

 fold the foliage of that fine 

 variety. It is essentially dif- 

 ferent from it, foliage from the 

 ground up, gracefully recurved 

 and spreading in habit. It 

 will be most popular for house 

 decoration. (See cut below.) 

 Price, plants from 4-in. pots, 

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

 each. 



Note. — We have in print a 

 leaflet giving full and practi- 

 cal instructions on the care of 

 Palms and ornamental plants 

 in dwelling houses. Sent free
