TWO IMPORTANT NEW COMMERCIAL FERNS 



Cyrtomium Rochfordianum 



THE CRESTED HOLLY FERN 



The Most I'aluaMe Dccofath-c Fern of Recent lutrfduction 

 A most important addition to our list of Ferns. Its 

 foliage is of a rich, deep, glossy green color, the pinnse 

 or leaflets besides being wavy or undulated are also 

 deeply cut or toothed, giving the plant a graceful light 

 appearance, which make it valuable not only as a dish 

 Fern but decorative work and for apartment use. 



•iVi "Hill l>o(N, 7.5 ots. per dozen; S5.00 per 100; .$40.00 

 per 1000. Also a limited lot of Hats of aliout 2(X) plants 

 each, at $3.00 per flat. 



Adlantum Parley«ns« Gloriosa 



THE GLORY FERN or RUHM VON MORDRECHT 



The Fern Wllicli Will Rc:-<<!utionv:.e the Cut FrouJ Business. 



For the grower of Ferns for cutting this new Maiden 

 Hair will undoubtedly prove a most important addition; 

 it closely resembles Adlantum Farleyense and will make 

 a splendid substitute for that fancy variety and it can 

 lie produced at much less cost, as it will thrive under 

 conditions in which Adlantum Farleyense could not exist. 

 At our Riverview Nursery we have given it a very 

 fair trial tor this purpose during the past winter. A 

 lilock of these plants were planted on a bench in a house 

 devoted to the ordinary Boston Fern and received the 

 ordinary treatment and temperature given to the 

 Xpphrolepis, and under this treitment the.w developed, 

 not onlv fronds of great beauty on longer, stiffer stems 

 than Farleyense produces, but also many more fronds 

 than would be developed by that variety in the same 

 length of time under the most favorable condition. 

 Anyone who successfully grows the ordinary varieties of .\di:uitum such as Cuneatum, Croweanum and Hybridum, can 



grow it under precisely the same conditions given tn these sorts. , x, - m/ s i. 



We have a fine block of about 30,000 young plants coming on which will be ready to send out m September from 2%-lnch 



pots, and for which we are now booking orders at *'2.00 per (ioz.; $1S,00 per 100: $140.00 per 1000.
