Palms 
Kentia 
When it comes to the point of a lasting and beautiful 
specimen for indoor decoration the Kentia takes pre¬ 
cedence over all other cultivated species. It will thrive 
and grow for years in any ordinary living room, with¬ 
standing the naturally harsh and dry atmosphere 
characteristic of the interior of a building, with little 
more attention than judicious watering and an occa¬ 
sional repotting. 
Well-furnished single specimen from 5-inch pot 24 
to 30 inches high: Each, $1.75. 
6-inch pot, 30 to 36 inches high: Each, $2.50. 
Made-up specimen 4 to a pot, 30 to 36 inches high, 
each, $3.50; 7-inch pot 36 to 42 inches high, each, $4.50; 
8-inch pot 48 to 60 inches high, each $6.00.

in stock from 6 to 20 feet high; prices on application.
