PALMS, CrCADS AND SCREW-PINES. 31 SCREV-PINES. PAN DAN us. p. utilis. One ofCthe most popular and useful plants that we grow for decorative purposes ; in the window, garden, hanging basket, or among the piazza plants, it always has its place, and fills it. Here in south Florida it grows in the open ground, sprouting readily from the root if cut back by frost. In this variety the sharply serrated edges of the leaves are bright red, the body of the leaf green. 30 cents each, four for $1 ; extra fine plants, two feet high, $2.50 each. P. odoratissimus. An elegant species, with rich dark green leaves, so glossy that they appear like polished wax. A few large plants at 50 cents each. P. Veitchii. In this species the leaves are beauti- fully striped white and green. $1 to S5 each.
