TWO IMPORTANT NEW COMMERCIAL FERNS 



Cyrtomium Rochfordianum 



THE CRESTED^ HOLLY FERN 



The Most Valualle Decorative Fern of Recent Introduction 



A most important addition to our list of Ferns. Its 

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

 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. 



2J4 iiith P»l», '■•i fts. per dozen; $5.00 per 100; $40.00 

 per 1000. Also a limited lot tf flats of about 200 plants 

 each, at $3.00 per flat. 



Adiantum Farleyense Gloriosa 



THE GLORY FERN or IRUHM VON MORDRECHT 



The Fern Which Will Revolutionize the Cut Frond Busineis. 

 For the grower of Ferns for cutting this new Maiden 

 Hair will uudoubtedly 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 Eiverview 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 

 Xephrolepis, and under this treatment they developed 

 not only fronds of great beauty on longer, stlCfer 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 ordiuary varieties of Adiantum such as Cuneatuni, Croweanum and Hybridum, can 

 grow it under precisely the same conditions given to these sorts. 



We have a fine block of about 30,000 young plants coming on which will be ready to send out in September from 2i4-Inch 

 pots, and for which we are now booking orders at $S.OO per doz. ; $15.00 per 100; $140.00 per 1000.
