PALMS 
Owing to the growing popularity of Palms we are making a specialty of them, and can supply these by the 
thousand. 
ature as is consistent with the health 
of the plants, and the largest part of —— 
our stock is carried through the sum- 
mer in slat houses, where they have 
free circulation of air and a clean and 
healthy growth, becoming: thoroughly 
hardened off by fall. Our plants can, 
therefore, stand distant carriage with- 
out injury, and will not suffer from 
the sudden change when removed 
from a high greenhouse temperature 
to that of a sitting-room, 
Al] our Palms, being grown in 
pots, can be forwarded during the 
whole year. Measure is from top of 
pot to top of plant, in its natural 
position. 
We would state that as all varie- 
ties do not grow alike we cannot quote 
plants of equal height at the same 
price. Some are of rapid growth, oth- 
ers affect a dwarf habit. Young plants 
of such varieties as Phoenix, Sea- 
forthia and a few others, do not show 
their characteristic forms of foliage 
until the second year. The lowest 
prices refer to 2-year-old plants, rang- 
ing from 10 to 12 inches, according to variety. 
CULTURAL Drrections.—Use a compost of 
equal parts of leaf-mold, rich garden soil and 
well-decayed cowdung and some hone meal. 
We devote upwards of 30,000 square feet of glass to this class of plants.
