Tl^ "WINDOW" COLLECTION OF PALMS. 



I HESE we offer at very low prices for the collection so as to induce our customers to procure them, believing that 

 (jj_ there is nothing we offer which will give greater satisfaction for the money invested. These young Palms are easily 

 grown into large specimens— one year's growth increasing their value fourfold at least. As some will, no doubt, want 

 larger plants we offer them in two sizes; the larger size will make a fine display at once as they all show character 

 leaves. We can send the second size collection free by mail, if desired, but we advise that they be sent by express 

 (buyer to pay charges), as in that case we can send larger plants and will leave all the soil on the roots, an undoubted 

 advantage. The first size we cannot send by mail. Below we give short descriptions of the plants.

(The ^ ^ ^ 

 Silk Oak.) 



A magnificent plant for decorative purposes, of rapid, 

 easy growth, finely cut foliage, rivaling a rare Fern. 

 The young growths are a light bronze color, the tips 

 being covered with a soft down closely resembling raw 

 silk, hence the name of "Silk Oak." First size, 50c. 

 each ; second size, 25c. each. 



Pyperus alternifolius. ^^^ 



^^ ... (The Umbrella Plant.) . . . 



Although, strictly speaking, not a Palm, yet its habit 

 and appearance entitle it to a place among them. It is 

 happily styled "The Umbrella Plant," as the leaves 

 radiate from the stem and curve downward in graceful 

 fashion. Of the easiest culture, a beautiful living green, 

 and will prove satisfactory in any collection. First size, 

 50c. each ; second size, 25c. each.
