 Ferns in the country in the following va- 

 rieties; in fact, we are headquarters for them.

NEPHROLEPIS NORWOOD 



The most beautiful form of Nephrolepis to 

 date; graceful, compact and symmetrical; a 

 vigorous, healthy grower. No written de- 

 ■cription can convey an adequate idea of its 

 extreme value. All growers are invited to in- 

 ■pect it at our Norwood greenhouses. If you 

 are located not more than a thousand miles 

 away, it will pay jrou to make the journey.

 Dest of the newer introductions.

 types range from narrow to very large leaf.

 set of thirteen, named after the "Thirteen 

 Original States," which have won highest 

 honors wherever shown.

 supplied by us in the past few years to some 

 of the leading retail florists, who have fea- 

 tured them in mantel, table and funeral work. 

 They are also especially attractive to use with 

 Chrysanthemums. 



Cut Crotons will last in a cool place from 

 three to four weeks. We can supply them 

 «very day in the year. Very highly colored 

 sprays at 25c., 35c. and SOc. Cut Leaves, $3
