RELIABLE PALMS. 



The Palm may justly be termed the Queen of decoi-ative plants. That many varieties are difficult to keep in 

 a health V, vigorous condition, except in a conservatory, is true; but fortunately there are a few which are so 

 hardy aiad enduring that they are among the easiest plants to manage. Those we offer are of this class. They 

 are also among the most graceful and beautiful of all the Palms. Our plants are well hardened and thrifty, and 

 by comparison our prices will be found very low indeed.
