POTS. 3-in., •4 ' 5 ' 6 ' 7 ' NO collection of plants is complete without Palms. Their bold, majestic yet graceful foliage lends a grandeur and magnificence that cannot be obtained by any other class ot plants, and no decoration, whether in the conservatory, hall or sitting-room, is complete without them. Nearly all the varieties offered are of the easiest culture, succeeding under the most ordinary conditions. Our facilities for producing this class of stock are the most com- plete in this country, 35 of our largest houses—over three acres of greenhouse structure—being devoted to them alone, enabling us to supply all the leading and popular sorts at the most reasonable prices. ^ ( The heights given are from top of pot to top of ) KENTIAS. The Kentias, both Belmoreana and Forsteriana, are the hardiest in cultivation, and give better satisfaction as a house plant than any other varieties. They are of slow growth, and are not affected by the dust and dry atmosphere of the house, and were we to select one Palm only, it certainly would be a Kentia. The two varieties are of similar appearance, the former being dwarfer and more spreading, and the latter is ol stronger growth with broader, heavier fojiage. We also offer on next page several of the rarer varieties of this beautiful genus. Kentia Belmoreana. SIZE NO OF HtlGHl IN OF INXHES. EACH. ,3 in., 4 to 5 12 § 25 10 12 Fin
