ADIANTIM CROWEANIM 



The New Maidenhair Fern. 



FTER A THOROUGH and careful examination by all the experts and critics in 

 the trade at the St. Louis Convention, and stood the test so well, the pro- 

 gressive, keen and up-to-date florist should this year buy this standard intro- 

 duction that is freely conceded to be the best keeping, lasting and money-making, 

 both for cut fronds and plants of all Adiantums ever introduced to the trade. : : :

A Great Acquisition. 



The best of all ferns for cut fronds. BrlnKS the hlgrhest prices. 

 The eaBlBBt to «rrow and the easiest to sell. Has received the hl^rh- 

 est encomiiuns from the leading cut flower dealers In the country. 



ADIANTUM CROWEANUM criminated at Utica. N.Y.. about 

 fourteen years airo, and has been extensively irrown by the origrinal 

 owner, Mr. Crowe, who has received phenomenal prices for the cut 

 fronds In the New York and other markets, and has created a irreat 

 demand for it. Buy now. Buy liberally and reap the benefits. 



The fronds are long, elesrantly proportioned and of a texture 

 that renders it the best keeper and shipper of all Adiantums. It is 

 a verv free and continuous grrower, requires no rest and responds 

 readily to fertilizers. Anyone can crrow it and get good money for it.

HOW THE CUT FRONDS SHIPPED ACROSS 

 THE ATUNTIC. 



With reference to a quantity of fronds sent to Liverpool, 

 Eng., the recipient writes from that port, June 17. 1904, as fol- 

 lows: "The ferns were as fresh as when they were first cut 

 and I believe you can safely send them to Europe, providing 

 they are as carefully packed as these were. They are simply 

 perfect." i Signed] Thomas R. Pboctob.
