 certain to prove a welcome and popular variety, holding for 

 delicacy and gracefulness the same position among the Nephro- 

 lepiS that Adiantum Gracilllmum does among the Maiden Hair 

 Ferns. The pinnae is so finely divided that it reminds one of a 

 piece of fine lace; the fronds are broad and of a depth which 

 gives them a cushion-like appearance. It forms a beautiful 

 specimen and Is admired by everyone who sees it. We are 

 now booking orders for September delivery.

 become a most important commercial variety. While in a 

 general way it reminds one of an exceptionally well grown 

 plant of N. Elegantlsslma it Is entirely distinct from this 

 and all others. In its strong yet compact growth and its bold 

 heavy foliage which is distinctly trlpinnate or three times 

 divided. Specimen plants which we now have growing are
