PALMS. 



Palms are now indispensable in all decorations, whether for apartments, conservatories or for tropical 

 bedding in summer. The large demand the past few years has induced us to considerably increase our 

 facilities for propagating and growing this class of stock, and we have now twenty houses devoted to their 

 cultivation alone, which enables us to supply all the leading and popular varieties at most reasonable prices.

 beautiful Palms in cultivation ; bright glossy 

 green foliage and rich golden yellow stems. 50 cts.
