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-makinj, 

 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. Brlngrs the highest prices. 

 The easiest to grow and the easiest to sell. Has received the high- 

 est encomiums from the leading cut flower dealers in the country. 



AJOIANTUM CRO^KANUM originated at Utica, N.Y.. about 

 fourteen years ago, and has been extensively grown by the original 

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

 fronds in the New York and other markets, and has created a great 

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



The fronds are Iodk. elegantly proportioned and of a texture 

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

 a very free and continuous grower, requires no rest and responds 

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



HOW IT PLEASES AFTER TRAVaiNG ACROSS THE CONTINENT.

 fronda, yrowa more npriffht and has amaller pinnules 

 than Hybridum. Adiantum Kybridnm does not grow 

 quite as tall as Oroweanum, the ftronds are not quite as 

 straig'ht or upriffht as Croweanum and are of darker 

 shade of fffun.. The pinnules are much largr*' than in 

 Croweanum. Dr. Benjamin Bobinsoa of the Oray Serbar- 

 lum examined the plants this day and said they were 

 quite distinct. Tours resj>ectfully,
