Nephrolepis Elegantissima 

 == Compaota = 



Another New Fern Originating witit Usm 



F. R. PIERSON CO., 



Of all the valuable introduction's in ferns that we have sent 

 out, beginning with the Pieison (Xephrolepsis Piersoui), we con- 

 sider Elegantissima Compacta the most valuable of all, particu- 

 larly 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 itself, and is as distinct 

 from Elegantissima as that variety is from Piersoni — in fact it 

 bears the same relation to Elegantissima that Scottii does to 

 Bostonieusis. 



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, compa^^t plant. The difference be- 

 tween the two varieties can be seen at a glance. 



Fine, strong plants. 2i4-ln. pots, $5.00 per doz., $35,00 per 100; 

 4-in. pots. $7 50 per doz., $50.0u per 100 ; 6-in. pans $1.50 each; 8-in. 

 pans, $3 00 each. 



We make a specialty of all kinds of Nephrolepis, carrying a large stock of all 



sizes at all times — Piersoni, Elegantissima, Superbissima, Bostooiensis, 



Scottii, Whitmani, Amerpohli, etc.
