PALMS.

PALMS. 
This is the most noble family in the vegetable kingdom, and yet partakes of 
sufficient diversity in character to allow selections to be made from it for the green- 
houso, stove, or conservatory, in either of which they give a richer tropical appearance 
than that of any other plant ; some of the miniature-growing kinds are, froift their 
light and gracoftil form, admirably adapted for table decoration, vases, and almost 
every purpose where 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 other places where Palms 
have been used. 
Selections of Stove Palms at 6 , 9 , and 12 guineas per dozen. 
Selections for the Greenhouse at 6 , 9 , and 12 guineas per dozen .
