iATANI.\ 



leRBONICA. 



CYCAS REVOLUTA. ("SAGO P\LM. ') 



CVCAS REVOLL'T.A. For years the " Sago Palm " was so 

 scarce that the price was very high and beyond the reach of ordinary 

 plant buyers. We imported a fine lot of them from Japan and offer 

 them very low, so as to be within the reach of all. 



It is probably the most valuable decorative plant grown, both 

 for lawn and house decoration; the heavy, glossy, deep green fronds 

 resist alike the gas, dust and changes of temperature to which 

 house plants are frequently exposed. (See cut.) We offer plants at 

 S2.00, S3.00, S4.00 and S5.00 each, graded according to number 

 of leaves and size. 



COCOS WEDDELLIANA. This beautiful Palm is unquestion- 

 ably the most elegant and graceful in cultivation. The finely cut 

 leaves are recur\'ed with exquisite grace. Price, from 4-inch pots, 

 75c. each; from 2-inch pots, 25c. each, S2.25 per dozen. 



RUBBER PLANTS. We have a splendid stock of this useful 

 and ornamental plant, which will flourish under the most adverse 

 conditions. Fine, sturdy, short -jointed plants, 15 to 18 inches, 75c. 

 each, S7.50 per dozen. 



THE QOLD-DUST DRACAENA. {Dracaena Godsejf.ana.) 

 Entirely distinct from all other Dracaenas; of branching, shrubby 

 habit, developing from the base so as to form compact graceful 

 specimens in a short tim^. The leaves are numerous, broadly lan- 

 ceolate, about 4 inches long and 2 inches wide; of a strong leathery 

 texture, with highly polished surface as if varnished ; rich, dark green 

 in coloT, liberally sprinkled with irregular 

 specks and spots of rich yellow. On the 

 older leaves the spots gradually change 

 to ivory-white, making a fine contrast. 

 It is very hardy as a house plant, equaling, 

 if not surpassing, in this respect, the 

 Rubber Plant. (See cut.) Strong plants 

 from 4-inch pots, 50c. each ; -plants from 

 3-inch pots, 35c. each, S3. 50 per doz. 



L,4TANIA BORBONICA. (Fan Palm.)

 any extended description. (See cut.)

 dozen 3-inch pots. 30c. each, S3. 00 per 

 dozen 4-inch pots, 50c. each, S4.50 per 

 dozen; 5-inch pots, 75c. each, S7.50 per 

 dozen. 



HENDERSON'S 



-SUPERB PANSIES.- 



We have sold these for a number of years and have received hundreds c f 

 letters praising their superb beauty. When our pansies are in bloom we go 

 over them daily and every plant showing superior merit is removed to our 

 seed plot, where nothing but the largest, handsomest and most perfect are 

 allowed to remain. Consequently the seed is saved from the greatest 

 variety of types, including only the best. Price, yoiing plants, 30c. per 

 doz., S2.00 per 100, §15.00 per 1000. 



ARECA LUTESCENS. 



ARECA LUTESCENS. This majestic Palm 

 is without a peer for strength and elegance 

 combined. (See cut.) Price, fine bushy plants, 

 12 to 15 inches high. 50c. each. S4.50 per 

 dozen; 20 to 24 inches, SI. 00 each, SIO.OO per 

 dozen; 24 to 28 inches, SI. 50 each, S15.00 per 

 dozen. 



PAND.A.NUS VEITCHH. This is a grand 

 decorative plant, creamy-white variegation. 

 Fine plants from 6-inch pots, S2.00 each; 

 5-inch pots, SI. 50 each. 



PANDANUS UTILIS. This is perhaps the 

 most useful of our ornamental foliage plants. 

 As a vase plant or single specimen in green- 

 house or conservatory it cannot be surpassed. 

 Price, 5-inch pots, V5c. each, S7.50 per dozen; 

 4-inch pots, 40c. each, S4.00 per dozen. 



PHOENIX CANARIENSIS. One of the 



hardiest of the Date Palms, with dark green 

 feathery foliage, of strong growth, and is 

 especially valuable for vases, tubs, and out- 

 door decoration, as it stands sun and wind 

 without the least damage, even in exposed 

 situations. A splendid Palm for house cul- 

 ture. Price, fine plants from 7-inch pots, 

 2 to 2* feet high, S2.00 each. 



PHOENIX RUPICOLA. The most graceful 

 of the species and a valuable decorative 

 variety. Price, plants from 4-inch pots, 50c. • 

 each, S5.00 per dozen. 



SEAFORTHIA ELEGANS. A native of 

 Australia, and one of the most beautiful of 

 the Palm family. The whole plant is per- 

 fectly smooth, leaves drooping and feather- 

 like, and is one of the finest subjects in culti- 

 vation for the conservatory or greenhouse. 

 It is of easy, rapid growth and makes a noble 

 specimen in a short time as compared with 

 Kentias and other slower growing Palms. 

 Price, 30c. each, S3.00 per dozen.
