134 JOHN LEWIS CHILDS, 
Filifera Palrp. 
One of the best window Palms, needing no petting to 
succeed. Stands dust and dry air, and lack of sunshine, 
and is very ornamental with its elegant fan-shaped leaves, 
of a rich, dark, leathery green, picturesquely fringed with 
long, thread-like filaments along the segments of the leaves. 
The plant is a compact grower, well-adapted to pot culture, 
succeeding in any situation, and with any treatment that 
will keep a Geranium alive. It will make a grand ornament 
during winter, and in summer it can adorn a veranda, or be 
placed in any shady place about the garden or yard, or used 
for a center in a vase, basket or flower bed—always orna¬ 
mental anywhere. All Plants of the fan-leaved sorts have, 
Avhen young, leaves of a long, narrow shape, developing the 
round, fan-shaped ones as they grow older. Strong plants , 
20c. each; 3 fur 50c.; 7 for $1.00. Seed, per paper, loc.

pt)oerHX pal ids. 
There are several varieties of Phoenix, most of them 
differing but little from each other. They are stnr ffofrvha rdy 
and robust growers, in time attaining a eonsiderifiSSPze; 
they are always graceful and handsome, with foliage not 
surpassed. For window culture they are always a success 
as they readily adapt themselves to any situation. We can 
recommend them highly. Fine plants, 25c. each; 3 for 6oc.

We have all heard of the wonderful beauty of the rare 
Cycus Pievoluta, and a good specimen of which is worth $5, 
to $30. Here we have a close relative Of little cost,'quick- 
growing, and almost, if not quite, as decorative a plant for ; 
windows, hallways, etc. The Zamia grows freely, and will 
thrive, if need be, with no sunlight at all. No Palm is more 
beautiful than this, with its numerous long fronds of vivid 
green, and of such majestic beauty that all stop in admira¬ 
tion of it. 30c. each ; 4 for $1.00. 
(Zoeos WeddeSliaDa. 
A perfect little gem; one of the most elegant and grace¬ 
ful little Palms that has ever been introduced. The plant is 
dwarf and very neat; leaves whitish green on the under 
side, and arching out most gracefully. It is finely adapted 
for decorations of all sorts, and easily endures the hardships 
usually falling to house plants. 40c. each ; 3 for $1.00.
