A noble Palm, much like O. reffia, having coarser leaves and even more robust character than it. Is, perhaps, better for pot-culture than O. regiu, carrying more foliage when in a young state.

The Date Palm. We unhesitat- ingly recommend the genus Phoenix for the most extensive planting in the open air in the Lower South, and for the conservatory and the home. It is easily grown into grand specimens at an early age, and thrives in the house with but little sun- shine. It is so very hardy and healthy that it can stand a good deal of neglect. Pinnate-leaved. P. Canariensls.* The Canary Island Date. One of the finest for open ground planting, as it is very hardy and attains great size. A fine Palm for avenue planting, as well as single specimens. Strong plants, in 3>^-inch pots, 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz. P. farinifera.* D. India and South China. The seeds are covered with a sweet, mealy pulp, and the trunk yields a form of sago, used by the native Hindoos. Forms character when young, and is particularly good for pot-culture. Young plants, 10 to 12 inches high, no character, 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz.; 16 to 20 inches, commencing character, 25 cts. each ; 20 to 30 inches, showing character leaves, 40 cts. each, I4 per doz. P. humlle.* Adwarf variety with narrow leaves. Strong plants, 40 cts. each. P. Ldonensis.* D. Remarkably choice, upright- growing Palm, adapted for pots as well as open ground. Our largest Phoenix is of this species, and it is a grand specimen. It is very hardy, and makes a large tree, suitable for street and avenue anywhere in South Florida and South California. We have a grand stock of plants in various sizes. Young plants, 8 to 12 inches high, 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz.; 15 to 18 inches, 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz.; 18 to 24 inches, showing character, 35 cts. each, S3.50 per doz.; 20 to 30 inches, with character, 50 cts. each, $5 per doz.

A very fine sort, with dark green foliage, and quite distinct. Nice, young plants, 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz.; larger, commencing character, 25 cts. each. P. pumlla.*D.
