N O collection of plants is complete without Palms. Their bold, 
majestic, yet graceful foliage, lends a grandeur and magnificence 
that cannot be obtained by any other class of plants, and no deco¬ 
ration, whether in the conservatory, hall or sitting room, is complete with¬ 
out them. Nearly all the varieties offered are of the easiest culture, suc¬ 
ceeding under the most ordinary conditions. Our facilities for producing 
this class of stock are the most complete in this country, 35 of our largest 
houses — over three acres of greenhouse structure — being devoted to them 
alone, enabling us to supply all the leading and popular sorts at the most 
reasonable prices. 
( The heights given are from top of pet to top of plant.') 
Areca Lutescens. One of the most graceful and beautiful 
Palms in cultivation ; the foliage is of a bright glossy-green, 
with rich golden yellow stems.

high, with three to four leaves, $10.00 each. 
Cocos Weddellana. The most elegant and graceful of all

Kentlas. The Kentias give better satisfaction as a house plant

we to select one Palm only, it certainly would be a Kentia.
