These are magnificent plants, of noble 
and majestic habit, and most impres¬ 
sive. They are probably the most 
valuable decorative plants grown, both 
for' lawn and house decoration; their 
heavy, glossy, deep green fronds resist 
alike the gas, dust and cold to which 
decorative plants are frequently ex¬ 
posed. I offer dormant stems imported 
direct from Japan, all sound and in 
good order. Place the stems about one- 
third to one-half in a pot that is about 
an inch larger than the stem all around. 
As you fill in the dirt use a piece of 
lath to pack the soil as hard as you can. 
Use a soil that will firm hard. 
Stems, to 1 pound each, 30c. 
each ; 3 for 50c. Larger stems, 50c. 
each.

the finest pot plants imaginable, and the 
easiest to grow of any of the Palm 
family. Being almost hardy, it is not 
injured by slight changes in temper¬ 
ature, and its stiff, glossy leaves enable it to stand the dry, hot air of the 
living-room without injury. The leaves are a deep, glossy green, fan-shaped, 
split deeply into segments. This is, without exception, the most hardy of its 
class. Very graceful for table decoration. Scarcely equaled.
