Nephrolepis Elegantissima Compacta 



Another New Fern Originating witit Us, to lie Introduced Fall, 1909 



Of all the valuable introductions in ferns that we have 

 sent out, beginning with the Pierson (Nephrolepsis Pier- 

 soni), we consider Elegantissima Compacta the most 

 valuable of all, particularly from a commercial standpoint. 



While this resembles Elegantissima in a general way, it 

 is far superior to that variety, on account of its perfect 

 habit. Yet it can hardly be compared with Elegantissima 

 except in a general way, because it occupies a place by it- 

 self, and is as distinct from Elegantissima as that variety is 

 from Piersoni — in fact it bears the same relation to Elegan- 

 tissima that Scottii does to Bostoniensis. 



Elegantissima Compacta has an ideal habit. The fronds 

 are considerably shorter than those of Elegantissima, and 

 it is a more compact plant. It throws a great many more 

 crowns naturally, making a very bushy, dwarf, compact 

 plant. The difference between the two varieties can be 

 seen at a glance. 



Fine, *trong plants, 2^-in. pots, $5.00 per doz., $35.00 per 

 100; 4-in. pots, $7.50 per doz., $50.00 per 100; 6-in. pans 

 $1.50 each ; 8-in. pans, $3.00 each.] 



We mike a specialty of all kinds of Nephrolepis, carrying a large stock of all sites at all times — Piersoni, 

 Elegintis5iim, Superbissima, Bostoniensis, Scottii, Whitmani, Amerpohli, etc.
