One of the best window Palms* needing no petting to 
succeed. Stands dust and dry air. and lack of sunshine,

long, thread-like filaments along the segments of the leaves. 
The plant is a compact grower well adapted to pot culture, 
iracoeeding 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 
ornamental anywhere. All Palms of the fan-leaved sorts

Cycas Revoluta, and a good specimen of which is worth $5 
to $50. Here we have a close relative of little cost, quick 
growing, and almost,, if not quite, as decorative a plant for 
windows, hallways, ere. The Zamia crows 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 f or $ 1.00. Extra large by ex]yress % 60c. each .
