pbocnix Leoncnsis 



{Date Palm). 

 This is a strong, healthy and beau- 

 tiful tree-like Palm, is of exceedingly 

 rapid growth and is remarkably hardy, 

 standing several degrees of frost in 

 most cases ; attains an enormous size 

 —the trunks sometimes grow larger 

 than a flower barrel ; to do this, how- 

 ever, requires several years. Grows 

 upright and strong ; exceedingly choice 

 and rare. First-size plants, 35 cts. each ; 

 3 for $1. Large plants, 1 to 2 feet, 60

 Native of the Canarj' Islands. It is a 

 Date Palm, and in the South matures 

 its fruit. It makes a fine specimen plant 

 and should be included in every collec- 

 tion. Nice plants, 20 cts. each ; 3 for 50 

 cts. ; 7 for $1. 



H IMagnif icetit palm, 

 Latania Borbontca* 



Certainly no plant could be more or- 

 namental or satisfactory than this su- 

 perb variety, which is conceded to be 

 one of the best decorative Palms now 

 known. It is immensely popular and 

 deservedly so, because it is not only re- 

 markably beautiful, but of the easiest 

 culture, standing neglect well and at- 

 tains a great size. The leaves are large, 

 deeply divided and fan-shaped (see c«0. 

 Requires fairly good soil, moderate 

 moisture and partially shady situation. 

 We have a limited supply in two sizes ; 

 at prices named they are bargains. 

 First size, large plants, 20 cts. each ; 7 

 for SI. Larger plants, 30 cts. each, post- 

 paid by mail. 



Cocos ^eddeUina^ 



The most elegant and graceful of all 

 the smaller Palms. It is an erect grower 

 and is freely furnished with gra cefully 

 arching leaves of a rich green color. 

 This variety is admirably adapted to 

 growing in Fern dishes, being of slow 

 growth and maintaining its beauty for 

 a long time. Nice plants, 35 cts. each ; 

 3 for U. 



Cycas Revoluta* 



The best known of all the Cycas, 

 and probably the grandest and most 

 majestic decorative plant in the world. 

 The leaves, which are like elegant Fern 

 fronds, are remarkable for their won- 

 derful beauty ; the leaves are used ex- 

 tensively for decorative purposes and 

 usually sell for $2 each : lives to a great 

 age ; easily grown ; water sparingly. 

 Good plants commonly sell for from $5 

 to $50 each, which, of course, keeps it 

 out of the hands of flower lovers in 

 general {see cut). We offer a limited 

 number of fine pot-grown plants at 50 

 cts. each, postpaid by mail. 



palm, dasbingtonia 

 filifera* 



This is conceded to be one of the best 

 Palms for amateur culture. It stands ill- 

 treatment with impunity, and thrives 

 where other Palms die. It is exceedingly 

 ornamental, with elegant fan-shaped 

 leaves, of rich, dark, leathery green, from 

 which hang long, thread-like filaments ; a 

 compact grower, needs no petting or coax- 

 ing to succeed {see cut). We offer strong, 

 well-rooted plants that are sure to grow. 

 15 cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts.; 9 for U. 



Hspidistra Taricgata — 

 Silver Sbield. 



Silver Shield is a good name for this fine 

 ornamental-leaved Japanese plant. There 

 is absolutely no other that will stand more 

 ill-treatment, such as dust, dry air, want of 

 light, etc. Leaves are long, broad, shiny, 

 alternately striped green and pure white ; 

 frequently green, others all white; likes 

 lots of water. We recommend it as one of 

 the grandest of plants ( see cut) . A grower 

 going out of business had to dispose of his 

 stock. We bought it, hence the low prices. 

 This valuable plant cannot be grown for 

 less than 35 cts. per plant. While our stock 

 lasts we will sell this lot at 30 cts. each ; 2 

 for 50 cts., fine, large plants. Larger plants, 

 50 cts. each, postpaid by mail.
