« Palms and Other Decorative Plants for Homes. 



PHOENIX ROEBELENH. 



A new Palm is always interesting. 

 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 Weddelliana. 

 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 be- 

 low.) Price, plants from 3-inch pots, 

 75c. each; 6-inch pots, $3.00 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.
