One of the most beautiful Sago Palms west of the Mississippi is said to be in possession of Mr. M. J. Nagel, a noted landscape gardener of Jefferson City, Missouri. It is only 18 inches from the tub to the first leaves; but the stem is 2 feet 6 inches round, has 52 old leaves 3 feet 6 inches long, and is now pushing out 46 new leaves, which at date of this note were 3 feet 8 inches long. What a profitable plant it would be to some florist in those large cities where these plants are used for decoration, or the leaves themselves used in floral ornamentation !

If there is a finer plant west of the Mississippi, we should be glad to have the facts and figures.
