COONTIE, OR ZAMIA INTEGRIFOLIA. , Gooi^tie, Zan}ia Irjtegrifolia. A Rare South Florida Cycad. This strikingly beautiful and interesting Cycad, a native of the extreme southern part of Florida, is something be- tween a Palm and a Fern, but is neither, and is of extreme stateliness and beauty. The leaves are pinnate and Pa few- like, but coiled in the bud like Ferns ,and retain their beauty for some years. The beautiful flower-head is like a pine- cone in shape, appearing as if stamped out of rich maroon velvet. When ripe it bursts and exhibits its glossy, rich yellow seeds, which change to red. It makes a magnificent decorative pot plant, standing heat, dust, and almost any amount of abuse, and is a fine companion for the rare Sago Palm, which it somewhat resembles, though entirely dis- tinct. In Europe the Coontie is so rare and highly prized as to be catalogued at from $10 to $15 each. The plants we offer are all pot-grown, beautiful specimens, with fine-fronds (leaves) and an abundance of roots, ready for immediate effect, and all sure to live and thrive.
