Palms and Other Decorative Plants. 
To supply the growing demand for these decorative plants for home adornment, we have grown a large stock of the 
best varieties for the purpose : 
Latania Borbonica. (The Fan-leaved Palm.) Very decorative 
and the hardiest of all Palms. $1, $2, $3, $4, $5 and $10 each, ac¬ 
cording to size. 
Areca Lutescens. This variety has a large, finely-divided 
leaf and is very handsome. Prices same as above. 
Seaforthea Elegans. This is similar to the Areca lutescens, 
of more rapid growth and bolder in its appearance. Prices same 
as above. 
Corypha Australis. A robust-growing variety. $1 to $3 
each. 
Chamerops Excelsa. A rapid, easily-grown and very hardy 
Palm. 75 cents, $1.00 and $1.50 each. 
Ficus Elastica. (India Rubber Plant.) We have a fine stock 
of this popular house plant. It stands more neglect and abuse 
than any plant that can be grown. 75 cents, $1 and $2 each. 
Cycas Revoluta. (Sago Palm.) $1.50, $2.00, $3.00 and $5.00 
each. 
Curculigo Recurvata. A splendid plant for house decoration. 
Large bright green, gracefully-drooping leaves. 50 cents and $1 
each. 
New and Choice Dahlias. 
Mrs. B. A. Elliott. Pale 
yellow; an exquisitely-beautiful 
show flower of first-rate quality, 
large, constant and extra fine; 
the plant is of noble appearance, 
the bloom being very erect on 
stiff stalks, and we have no hesi¬ 
tation in saying it is the finest of 
the color ever raised. 25 cents 
each. 
William Darville. Is a new 
variety ; a fine form, partaking 
very much of the style of Con¬ 
stance, but differing very consid¬ 
erably in habit from that well- 
known variety, having the blooms 
produced on long wiry stems and 
thrown well up above the foliage, from the time of the first 
flower’s opening until the last have appeared ; in color it is a 
bright purplish magenta, very free flowering, and will cer¬ 
tainly become one of the most useful and attractive of the 
whole of the Cactus, or decorative varieties. 30 cents each. 
William Rayner. A beautiful new variety ; very distinct 
in color from all the other varieties in cultivation. It is of 
a pretty distinct salmon-buff tint, and remarkably free flow¬ 
ering, throwing its very effective and distinctly-colored 
flowers well above the foliage. We are sure it will be 
welcomed as one of the most effective Cactus Dahlias 
ever introduced. 25 cents each. 
Zulu. This, as may be gathered from the name, is a very dark- 
complexioned introduction. By far the deepest-colored Dahlia of 
this section yet introduced, and on this account alone forms a very 
distinct, pleasing and effective contrast with other varieties ; the 
color is of an exceptionally rich deep purple maroon, frequently 
New Single Dahlia, Miss 
Henshaw. As valuable an intro¬ 
duction among the single as is 
the well-known double variety 
appearing under the same name ; 
it is a large and fine form, color 
of a pale, pleasing primrose tint, 
prettily and distinctly edged, 
after the fashion of a Picotee, 
with white. At once one of the 
most distinct and most effective, 
and the most useful, either upon 
the plant, for cutting, or for exhi¬ 
bition purposes, ever sent out; 
was last autumn awarded first- 
class certificate by the Royal 
Horticultural and National Dahlia 
Societies. 25 cents each. 
TYPES OK DAHLIA FLOWERS. 
having petals edged with deep rich crimson; in form a thorough 
Cactus-like Dahlia. As a proof of its sterling worth we have but 
to mention the fact that it was last season awarded first-class 
certificates by both the Royal Horticultural and National Chrys¬ 
anthemum Societies. 25 cents each.
