Filifera Paliq. 
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, 
i be 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 
ornamental anywhere. All Palms of the fan-leaved sorts 
have, when young, leaves of a long, nanow shape, develop¬ 
ing the round, fan-shaped ones as they grow older. Strona

There are several varieties of Phoenix, most of them 
differing but little from each other. They are sturdy, hardy 
and robust growers, in time attaining a considerable size, 
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 60c. 
Zaipia- 
We have all heard of the wonderful-beau tv of the rare 
Kevoluta, and a good specimen of which is worth $5 
to $o0. 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 or it. oOc. each; 4 for $1.00. Extra large by express,60c. eaclio
