Phoenix Canariensis. PALMS... We offer a list of the more esisily handled Palms. They are nice, thrifty, clean stock, and when potted will soon bring four or five times the price at which they are here offered. NOTE—It may be well to state here that in mentioning the number of leaves to each size, it has reference to embryo, not character leaves. PHOENIX CANARIENSIS. (The Canary Island Date Palm.) No other Palm ha^ gained so speedily in public favor the last few years as this handsome habitue of the Canary Islands. This Palm belongs to the pinnate class, which means that its branches are feather-shaped. These branches are long, gracefully arched, and, as the picture shows, are borne in luxuriant abudance. The color of the foliage is dark, glossy-green. The Canary Islands Date Palm is of rapid growth, and soon attains large size. Price, 23>^-inch pots, 12 inches, 4 and 5 leaves. 50c per dozen; $4 per 100; 33^-inch pots, 12 to 14 inches, 75c per dozen; $6 per 100. KENTIA FOSTERIANA. This is one of the finest pot plants imaginable, and the easiest to grow of any of the Palm family. Being almost hardy, it is not injured by slight changes in the the tempera- ture and its stiff, glossy leaves enable it to stand the dry, hot air of the living room without injury. The leaves are a deep, glossy-green, fan shaped, split deeply into segiment. This is, without exception, the most hardy of its class. It is very graceful for table decoration. Scarcely has its equal. Price, 2^-inch pots, 8 to 10 inches, 3 leaves, $1.50 per dozen; $10 per 100; S-inch pots, 12 inches, 3 and 4 leaves, $2 perdozen; $15 per 100; 4-inch pots, 12 to 18 inches, $3 perdozen; $20 per 100. NEW OTAHEITE DWARF ORANGE. Among the new varieties of oranges that have been re- cently introduced from Japan and other countries, there is one dwarf free-flowering variety, which is suitable for pot culture, and which with anyone proves one of the most desir- able pot plants it is possible to possess. We refer to the Ja- panese Otaheite. While it will grow three or four feet high and branch freely, it is not an uncommon thing to see little cutting plants five or six inches high full of bloom, and even bearing one or two medium-sized oranges. The fruit at their best are not more than half the size of an ordinary orange, but are very bright and beautiful in color, delicious in qual- ity ; but it is for its flowers more than its fruit which com- mends it to general cultivation. When it blooms it is so full that it seems to be all flowers. The pure waxy-white blos- soms emit a delicate yet powerful fragrance, which is sur- passed by no other flower. Price, 2^.inch pots, 40c per dozen; $3 per 100; 4-inch pots, $1 per dozen; $8 per 100. Lantania Borbonica, Latania Barbonica—The well-known favorite Fan Palm, beautiful in all stages of growth. No plant is more easily grown, and none more tenacious of life, enduring the dust, the cold and heat from open windows, and gas-heated air of our dwellings.

We offer them to you at the following low prices; Latania Barbonica—Price, 23^-inch pots, 6 to 8 inches, 2 and 3 leaves, 40c per dozen; $3 per 100.
