NEPHROLEPSIS HILLSI 



A NEW FERN 



This is the most dlslnct commercial novelty In many years. 

 It originated in our nursery, as a sport from Teddy, Jr., but, 

 as will be seen by the illustration, it is of an entirely different 

 character to the parent, of stronger growth and a most re- 

 markable variety. It will eventually become a.s popular as the 

 Boston and, having worked up a large stock, we are offering 

 it direct to the trade at a very low price for such a valuable 

 novelty. Strongr, bealtby plants in S-lnoh pots, 99.00 per dosen. 

 Smaller stock will be offered In April. 



Good, hardy, assorted Boston, 

 Roosevelt and Harrisii, 4-inch, pot-bound, 

 ready to ship, $25.00 per 100. 



From beds, ready for S-inch pots 



$20.00 per 100. Plus 10% for boxing. 

 Finished stock from 5-inch to 10-inch always on 

 hand in quantity.

ASTEIl!S~(American Beauty). This is one Aster 

 that can be grown both in early spring and in late fall.

F. R. Hills makes a fine display of 

 ferns at the new market and considers 

 that the opening has greatly added to 

 his sales. 



Hyaeinths in jiots in all colors have 

 the floor in jilants at W. Armacost & 

 Co., the (|iiality being excellent. Roses 

 are arriving in quantity and the ship- 

 ping business is described as excellent.

 Chicago, is visiting Los Angeles. 



At the store of the E. C. Amling Co., 

 Frey's Rainbow frcesias and Iris tingi- 

 tana are making a fine show and moving 

 rapidly. This firm's basket collections, 

 consisting of a selection in different 

 sizes at certain prices, arc moetiiij; with 

 .•1 big demand. 



Roy F. Wilcox is fixing the whole of 

 ills lath houses to double lath, the in- 

 creased shade in summer being bene- 

 ficial to kentias and other jialnis, while 

 in winter the further protection of an- 

 other lath is of great advantage. It 

 costs money, but anything along tlie 

 line of iiujiroving the stock is not balked 

 at by Mr. Wilcox on the score of ex- 

 ]iense. 



Beautifully arranged baskets continue 

 to be a big hit at Lichtenberg's. 



Some splendid funeral pieces were on 

 the floor at the Broadway Florist store 

 on a recent morning, over $1,000 worth 

 in a single day, according to .lack

Spring flowers are a little more plenti-
