The Grandest Fern of the Age 



Nephrolepis Roosevelt 



NEPHKOLEPIS BOOSEVEL,T 



is a sport from Nephrolepis Bostoniensis, but a won- 

 derful improvement over the parent variety and others 

 of stiff upright growing habit linown as Harrisii or the 

 Harrisii type. It is a stronger maker of fronds and 

 young plants than any other variety and will produce a- 

 larger finished plant in a 6-inch pot than Boston or 

 Harrisii will produce in a larger size. 



The finished fronds of Nephrolepis Roosevelt are at 

 least a third wider than Boston and have more graceful 

 drooping habit. The pinnae are distinctly undulated giv- 

 ing them a beautiful wavy effect which attracts the eye 

 instantly. Cut flower dealers will find fronds of Roose- 

 velt invaluable for design work. A single plant of Roose- 

 velt grown in a C-inch pot will when finished almost 

 double the number of fronds produced by Boston or 

 Harrisii type varieties and while Boston and Harrisii 

 show stiff upright growth in a 6-inch, the wide wavy fronds of Roosevelt droop gracefully over the pot, hiding it 

 completely from view. Finished 3-inch plants of Roosevelt are equally as large and more attractive than the aver- 

 age well grown 4-inch Boston and growers of Harrisii and the Harrisii type admit they cannot produce attrac- 

 tive plants of these varieties in pots smaller than 10-inch. Without an e.xception Nephrolepis Roosevelt is the 

 most valuable fern ever offered for florists' use. It has the vitality to withstand more rough treatment than 

 other varieties and does not revert to the parent type. In our long experience we have never offered the 

 trade any plant with gi-eater assurance of entire satisfaction and predict Nephrolepis Roosevelt will very soon 

 lead in popular demand, sweeping from the list, Boston, Harrisii and Harrisii type.
