Palms and Other Decorative Plants for Homes 



PHOENIX ROEBELENU. 



A new Palm is always interest- 

 ing, but when the newcomer is 

 easily the most graceful and withal 

 the hardiest, it is little short of 

 sensational. The horticultural 



world has enthused over this 

 beautiful Palm. It has the grace 

 and lightness of Cocos li'eddel- 

 liaiia, but is more robust in growth 

 and has ten-fold the foliage of 

 that fine variety. It is essentially 

 different 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 5-inch 

 pots, $1.25 each; 6-inch pots, J2.00 

 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.
