A WONDERFUL NEW NEPHROLEPIS 



Nephrolepis Superbissima 



INTRODUCTION OF 1908 



[""■■"Jl 1'' tiesire to call attention to this new fern, which originated with us and which we are introducing this 

 ITwl year. It is a very unique and distinct novelty — as distinct from Nephrolepis Piersoni and 

 W k m Piersoni elegantissima as thty were from Bostoniensis. It is in fact a complete break. The fronds 

 ^^^1 are very heavily imbricated, the pinnae overlapping, making the fronds very dense and compact. 



It differs from the other Nephrolepes not only in form, but also in color, being a richer and darker 

 green — entirely different from the yellowish green of all the other Nephrolepes. The plant is very sturdy in 

 its habit, the fronds never breaking down. 



While a photograph shows a similarity to its predecessors, it is absolutely distinct, not only in the form- 

 ation of the fronds and color, but also in its habit and general characteristics. It makes a much rrore dwarf 

 and compact growth, the fronds being very dense, firm and rigid, and having a great deal more substance, so 

 that it will stand more knocking around than any other fern of this type. 



It is a sterling novelty. Experts who have seen it consider it by far the best fern ever sent out. 

 It is a plant that needs to be seen to have its great value and sterling qualities appreciated. It really is not in 

 the same class with the other varieties. It was awarded a 



...FIRST-CLASS CERTIFICATE... 



by the Royal Horticultural society at Crystal Palace in London, November, 1907, the plants exhibited there 

 having been shipped from New York two weeks before that time. After being exhibited in London, the same 

 plants were shipped to Edinburgh, Scotland, where they were again awarded a first-class certificate by the 

 Scottish Horticultural Society. This will indicate the value of the plant as a novelty, and also demonstrates in 

 a very conclusive manner its fine keeping and shipping qualities. We have just begun shipping advance 

 orders, and new orders can now be shipped immediately on receipt.
