Kentia Fosteriana. 
This is one of the finest pot plants 
imaginable, and the easiest to grow 
of any of the Palm family. Being al¬ 
most hardy, it is not injured by slight 
changes in temperature, and its stiff, 
glossy leaves enable it to stand the 
dry, hot air of the living-room withbut injury. The leaves are of a deep, 
glossy green, fan-shaped, split deeply into segments. This is, without ex¬ 
ception, the most hardy of its class. Very graceful for table decoration. 
Scarcely equaled. 25c. each. Larger plants, 50c. to $1.00 each.
