Contrary to our proposed rule, we shall not give the last of Palms in our collec- 
tion, as it contains species of Cnryota, Chemcedoras , Mauritia, etc., that are not suitable 
for lawn decoration, but will name a few of the best for such purposes. If any one 
should want a Palm not in our list, and we do not have it, we could furnish it without 
delay, as we are in direct dealing with dealers in Palms, etc. 
Chemcerops Excelsa. Chemcerops Humilis . 
Ord«r-PAIJIACEjE. 
BRAHE A FILIMENTOSA ( Pritcliardia Filifera). — A splendid novelty trom Lower 
California, which, in sheltered situations, or where Chemcerops excelsa stands, would 
probably prove hardy. It is a Fan Palm, the novelty as well as the beauty of which 
consists in the thread-like tiliments which hang from the edges of the leaves. These 
lengthen as the leaves grow, and droop together in confusion, rendering it very 
unique and distinct in character. 
CARL UDO VIC A PALM AT A. — Handsome stemless Palms, with large, fan-shaped 
plaited leaves. The leaves are borne on three-cornered stalks from (5 to 15 feet high, 
often 4 feet in diameter and deeply cut into 4 or 5 divisions, each of which is again 
cut. This is the Palm that furnishes the material for the common Panama hat. 
C'ycas Revoluta. 
Corypha Australis. 
CHEMCEROPS EXCELSA, or FORTUNI. — A native of the north of China, and 
nearly hardy. Dwarf Palms in their native country, growing only 20 or 30 feet high, 
but with us attaining the height of only a few feet The leaves are shaped and plaited 
like the fan, having the margin deepiv cut into numerous sharp pointed divisions ; 
and the bases of their long and generally prickly footstalks are inserted into a mass 
of coarse fibrous matter. Color, dark green, erect. [See cut.]
