NEW NEPHROLEPIS FERN-JOHN WANAMAKER 



In presenting this fern to the trade, we feel confident that it will make a 



place for itself. 

 The John Wanamaker fern is a wonderful advance over all plain or wavy 

 frond varieties. The side pinnae of the fronds are very fully undu- 

 lated, giving the plants a very wavy appearance. It will make as 

 many fronds as Teddy, Jr., plants in 4-inch pots having oyer sixty 

 fronds. It is a beautifully formed plant, full and compact. 

 Orders will be filled strictly in rotation. 



Strong plants, 2>,4-in. pots, - ? 4.00 per dozen. 



20.00 per 100. 

 250 at 1000 rate. 150.00 per 1000.
