BEST PLANTS FOR GARDEN AND GREENHOUSE. 



KENTIAS. 



The Kentias, both Behnoreana and 

 Forsteriana, are the hardiest in cultivation 

 and give better satisfaction as a house 

 plant than any other varieties. They are 

 of slow growth, and are not affected by the 

 dust and dry atmosphere of the house, and 

 were we to select one Palm only, it cer- 

 tainly would be a Kentia. The two va- 

 rieiies are of similar appearance, the for- 

 mer being dwarfer and more spreading, 

 and the latter is of stronger growth with 

 broader, heavier foliage. 



KENTIA 



BELMOREANA. 



V^T'e are the Largest 



Growers of Palms 



-^^-^In the World. 



Palms are now indispensable in all decorations, whether for apartments, 

 conservatories or for tropical bedding in summer. The large demand the past 

 few years has induced us to considerably increase our facilities for 

 propagating and growing this class of stock, and we have now 

 thirty-five of our largest house? devoted to their cuUivation alone, 

 which enables us to supply all the leading and popular varieties at 

 most reasonable prices. The varieties enumerated below are those 

 best adapted for house culture.
