PALMS AND CYCADS. 
This is the most noble family in the vegetable kingdom, and yet affords sufficient 
■diversity of character to allow of selections being made from it for the greenhouse, 
stove, or conservatory, to either of which Palms impart a richer tropical appearance 
than any other plant. Some of the miniature dwarf-growing kinds are, from their 
light and graceful forms, admirably adapted for table decoration, for vases, or for 
almost every purpose in which ornamentation is desired. The more hardy and larger 
kinds can be used for sub-tropical gardening, to which they impart a most luxuriant 
grandeur, evidence of which has been given at Battersea Park, and in other places 
where Palms have been used. 
Selections of Stove Palms at 6, 9, and 12 guineas per dozen. 
Selections for the Greenhouse at G, 9, and 12 guineas per dozen. 
Large .specimens from 2, 3, 4, 5, to 10 guineas each. 
Those marhed with an asterisk are hinds that will succeed in a greenhouse.
