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 Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Royal Palm Nurseries; Henry G.
