at Dreer's that they can furnish either 

 home-grown or foreign-grown kentias, 

 and it is pretty difficult for anyone who 

 is not an expert to tell one from the 

 other, unless it be in extreme cases. 

 Some idea of the size of the orders 

 that are filled for kentias can be gath- 

 ered from the fact that two orders were 

 there picked out, each calling for so 

 large a number of plants that it would 

 have been scarcely believed a few years 

 ago, and these plants were of the dec- 

 orative sizes. 



The quantity of Asplenium Nidus- 

 Avis has been inQreaa«d this season. 

 There are two houses, one of larger and 

 the other of smaller sizes; they present 

 a fine appearance. Xyrtomium Koch- 

 fordianum is becoming a popular 

 Christmas fern; its holly-like foliage 

 makes it a favorite in 4-inch pots. 

 Adiantum Farleyense is looking well 

 under glass, while its foil, Adiantum 

 Glory of Mordrecht, is in perfect con- 

 dition in the frames where it has been 

 growing since July. This seems to 

 settle the question of treatment, for 

 Farleyense would never thrive out- 

 doors in summer. Farleyense is the 

 more graceful, but the Glory fern com- 

 bines grace with durability.
