Adiantum Farleyense Gloriosum 



The Glory Fern 



(Ruhm von Mordrecht) 



This sijlendid Fern, which so closely resembles Adiantum Far- 

 ]eyense in appearance and which does not require the special skill 

 and care in growing that is necessary to produce good plants of A. 

 Farleyense, has Quickly made a place for itself not only on account 

 of the fact that it can be produced for little over half that of grow- 

 ing Farleyense, but also because either in a cut state or as plants 

 used in decorative work, it will j2ti!^Xft3t the<eid variety ten to one, 

 making it an available subject where Farleyense cannot be used at 

 all. Since its introduction some fiv^.OT six Vears ago there has 

 never been a supply large enough to iheet the'demaM. 



We have this season prepared an extra large stock and we offer 



2^-inch pots $1.60 per doz.; $10.00 per 100 



8-inch pots 2.00 per doz.; J5.0u perlOO

ORCHroS, PALMS 

 and plants of every variety 



The stamp of approval has been put 



by the florists who visited the Grand Central 

 Palace in New York this week, on the exhibits 



that we staged for the S. A. F. and 0. H. We are so proud 

 of the tilings that good judges said of our plants that we want 

 you to know it. Either come to see our stock— hy coming to 

 see our plants at home, or, if you can't do that, ask us to have 

 some of the plants come to see you at your place.
