SlEBRECHT & WadLEY'S CATALOGUE OF 
PHIENIX RUPICOLA. 
LIVISTONIA Chinensis (lAitanin hnrlmnica). Well- 
known under both names — perhaps best under the 
latter. Probably the most widely distributed palm 
for decorative purposes ; its shining green fan- 
shaped foliage, resisting dust and gas, has made It 
most popular. Of free and rapid growth, and showing 
its fine and characteristic habit at an early stage, it is 
deservedly popular everj'where. We grow it in enor- 
mous quantities, and offer fine specimens in a wide 
range ;of sizes, at from S3.50 to $25; smaller plants, 
$1 to S3. See cut, page 63.
