CYCAS. These are magnificent plants, the true type 
of the Cycadoeas. Of noble and majestic habit, and 
most impressive, yet they do not grow too large. They 
are probably the most valuable decorative plants grown, 
both for indoor and outdoor use, and the cut leaves have 
recently been made available for funeral wreaths, etc. 
The Cycas are very hardy ; their heavy, glossy, deep 
green fronds resist alike the gas, cold and dust to which 
decorative plants must frequently be exposed. We 
grow them by the thousand, and offer a superb stock.
