TWO IMPORTANT NEW COMMERCIAL FERNS 



Cyrtomium Rochfordianum 



THE CRESTED HOLLY FERN 



T]ic Most Valuable l^r, crati-'c Fern of Ki\-eut hitrodu^tioi: 



A most important ndditinn to our list of Ferns. Its 

 foliage is of a rich. deep, glossy green color, tlie pinnte 

 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 worii and for apartment use. 



:;Vi i"<l' pots, 7.T cts. per dozen; $5.00 per 100; $40.00 

 per 1000. Also a limited lot uf flats of about 200 plant!< 

 each, at $3.00 per flat. 



Adiantum Farleyense Gloriosa 



THE GLORY FERN or RUHM VON MORDRECHT 



The Fern Which Will Rez'olutiojiize the Cut Froini Busineis. 

 For the grower of Ferns for cutting this new Maiden 

 Hair will undoubtedly prove a most important addition; 

 it closely resembles Adiantum Farleyense and will make 

 a splendid substitute for that fancy variety and it can 

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

 conditions in which Adiantum Farleyense could not exist. 

 At our Rivervlew Nursery we have given it a very 

 fair trial for this purpose during the past winter. A 

 block 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 

 Xephrnlepis, and under this treatment the.v developed 

 not only 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. 



o successfully grows the ordinary varieties of Adiantum such as Cuneatum. Croweanum and Hybriduiii, can 

 precisely the same conditions given to the^e sorts.
