The 'noble mountain cabbage' of Jamaica, the kingly ;—Mayne Reid. The Royal Palm stands light frosts unharmed, but the freeze of January, '86, was fatal to good-sized plants in this latitude. Native in several locali- ties of extreme South Florida. Three trees once stood on Cape Sable, visible eighteen miles out at sea, but were destroyed by the gale of 1872. The Royal Palms of Cape Roman reach a height of 150 feet. Valuable as a decorative Palm. 25 cents each, $ per dozen; 3t04feet, 50 cents each, $5 per dozen. ^^^~Our nurseries were named from some fine specimens of this Palm—and royal indeed it is—which were growing here luxuriantly before the great freeze of 1886. This killed them completely, and in the place of the best one we now have another sturdy plant. The il- lustration on first page of cover is a Royal Palm. 0. sp. from Demerara (British Guiana). This comes from the Royal Botanic Gardens, and as }'et is unnamed. $1 Phcenix PH(ENIX. The Date Palms. We unhesitatingly recommend the genus Phoenix for the most extensive cultivation in the open air in the lower South, and for the conservatory and greenhouse North.
