of Palms is well known to be the most extensive in America. It is noted, also, for being the best in assort- 
as it does, everything fine in Palms, from grand specimens 15 to 20 feet higli, to dozens of beautiful smiill 
species compact and charming enough for table decoration. A 
Palm house recently added to our nurseries ('J85 x 32 x 16 feet) is the 
largest in America. 
To produce the best Palms has been our aim at all times, and 
therefore our great stock is all in the best possible condition, having 
been grown With great care in low temperatupe. Palms grown 
in a high temperature make a more rapid growth, but it is a soft 
growth, easily affected by atmospheric changes, and invariably droops 
soon after removal to cooler conservatories or dwellings. 
We solicit correspondence from all who are making additions to 
their collections of Palms, and will be glad to furnish estimates of 
the stock desired. Our list of Grand Specimens of Choice and 
Rare Palms, page 12, will be of special intei-est to such customers.

Palm. 
This feathery and graceful golden-stemmed Palm is one of the 
handsomest in cultivation, and desirable in every stage of growth. 
It is of free growth, branching at the rout into numerous siems.and soon 
develops into fine specimens, well tarnished with leaves. Tlie long, 
arching, pinnated fronds are firm-textured, duralile, shining green on 
both surfaces, and most gracefully disposed. The plant tits well into 
any decorative scheme, and has a great variety of uses. We have a 
grand stock of it in many sizes, all in fine condition and well har- 
dened. Our illustration shows the bush form so i)opular among Rose 
Hill customers. $1.50 and upward. For other Areeas, see next page.
