The Florists' Review 



Fbbbdart 17, 1921 



NEW FERN 



NEPHROLEPIS 

 HILLSl 



This Is the most dislnct 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 is beautifully serrated, producing fine 

 fronds, and of excellent habit, being readily salable in large 

 or small plants. A point that will appeal to the grower is that 

 it thrives well under adverse conditions, making a fine growth 

 under the benches on which other plants are growing, thus 

 saving room at all times. It has been thoroughly tested 

 out, both in our greenhouses and under lath, and we have no 

 hesitation in recommending it as the best of the Nephrolepis 

 sports to date. It will eventually become as 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 5-incli pota, $9.00 per dozen. 

 Smaller stock will be offered in April. 



Good, hardy assorted Boston, Boosevelt and Harrlsil, 4 -inch,

 flower beds and fruit and flowering trees 

 being arranged with pleasing effect. A 

 bed of daffodil>, a bed of flowering 

 cherries and other details were worked 

 out and in the center a fountain playing 

 gave life to the whole. The firm and its 

 staff were highly complimented on turn- 

 ing out a most effective ]>iece of work. 



.). Dietericli has just finished the erec- 

 tion of a large, new liitli house at his 

 nursery, at \Viiitcrs)iurg, Cal. 



At the store of W. Armacost & Co. a 

 line batch cd' pot hyacinths are coming 

 ill, the flowers being well de\-eloped and 

 the pots of convenient size for shipping. 

 The rose business here now is exception- 

 ally good, an immense daily cut from 

 the greenhouses being (|uickly cleaned 

 up. 



S. Murata & to. >ay that sliijiping 

 business this season is ninuiiig along 

 even with that of last year ."uid, .-is that 

 was a record ye.nr. this is a most satis- 

 factory showing. Mr. Miirata says that 

 in all his experience he has never known 

 stock so jdentiful in February as this 

 year, but he looks for a - carn.'itinn 

 shortage in the near future. 



An extraordinary \aiiet\- of" inaidi'ii 

 liair has been developed at Wright's 

 Flower Plioj) greenhouses and named 

 Adiantuni Wrightii. It has something of 

 tlic habit of the old A. Willi.nnisii iiiid 

 also a little of the gold jiowdery masses 

 on the liack of tin- frfmds as in the oMer 

 kind. Rut the growth is remarkable, 

 fronds having bi-en cut as much as three 

 feet in length, while from sixteen to 

 eigliteeii inclies is common. It is a 

 great grower and lU'oducer and, .al- 

 t hough until now it has been grown for 

 the firm's store trailc only, Mr. Wright 

 lias decided to work uji a larger stock 

 and disseminate it. J. (Joco, or(d]i<l and 

 plant grower for the firm, has just re- 

 turned from a somewhat lengthy trip 

 to Europe and reports having had a 

 most enjoyable time.
