PAL/AS, CYCADS AND SCREW-PINES. 19 III Palms, Cycads and Screw-Pines. In the whole world of plants the Palm stands pre-eminent. Linnaeus called palms the "princes of the vegetable kingdom," and they have held the throne of royalty for centuries. The cultivation of palms is one of the most satisfactory branches of floriculture; and they are, without doubt, the most beautiful and graceful subjects for house culture at the north, or for the grand effects that may be produced by grouping the more hardy species on our southern lawns. Palms are not hard to grow, and require a great deal less care than the majority of house plants. Give them a deep pot or tub to accommodate the long roots; have this amply drained and filled with rich soil, and re-pot once a year; give partial shade and plentj- of water while the plant is growing, and with an occasional sponging of the leaves to keep them clean and bright, and no difficulty will be experienced in growing small plants into fine and valuable specimens. High prices have deterred many persons from purchasing these plants, and it is now our object to place a grand collection of them before the public at prices at which all may indulge their fancy for them, and at no greater outlay than for common plants. True, we grow some very rare and high-priced ones, but these are only offered to persons who can afford to buy them. Many of the low-priced ones are just as handsome, and from our stock of over a hundred thousand plants, we can always make satisfactory selections. At the follow- ing prices, plants are sent free by mail, except when two prices are given ; the higher price will indicate a much larger size, and such as can be sent by express only. Plants of the smaller sizes do not in most cases show their true or characteristic leaves, but will be strong, well-rooted, pot-grown plant
