Mr. Johk Scott. 



Dear Sir:— I desire to express to you my very 

 sincere appreciation of the magniflcent exhibit of 

 Scottii made. at St. Loiiis. It was certainly one of 

 the finest displays ever made at any S. A. F. Con- 

 vention. Scottii is without a doubt the finest com- 

 mercial Nephrolepis ever offered to the trade. The 

 lot that you shipped me in June has more than ful- 

 filled all that you claimed for it. Find enclosed 

 my order lor some of the larger sizes. 



I predict it the most valuable Nephrolepis in ex- 

 istence to-day. Phujp Bbeitmktkb.

Borough of Brooklyn, N. T. 

 My dear Mr. Scott:— Your exhibit of the Nephro- 

 lepis Scottii at the recent S. A. F. Convention in 

 St. Louis was so far superior to anything that I 

 have seen at the conventions, that I wish to con- 

 gratulate you upon the success you have attained 

 in bringing within reach of all plant lovers, on6 of 

 the most beautiful and useful of all ferns now in 

 the market. 

 I predict for it a great future. 

 Believe me, sir, to be. 



Yours very truly, Wm. P. Ottdk.

 Mr. John Scott, Brooklyn, N. Y. 



Dear Mr. Scott:— The twelve (12) specimen Ne- 

 phrolepis Scottii in 14-inch tubs were received in 

 perfect condition. They are without exception the 

 most beautiful Nephrolepis I have ever seen. 

 My customers are delighted with them. 



Yours truly, J. H. Tbot. 



Davtd Clarke's Sons, New York, say : 

 * We have tried all the new Introductions 

 of Nephrolepis and in N. Scottii are cer- 

 tain we have at last found the ideal." 



J. M. HoDOSON. Florist. (Inc.). New- 

 port, says : " Scottii is far better than 



the Boston in all sizes and will certainly 

 take its place. We have tried all the 

 other introductions, but fail to find them 

 satisfactory for our class of trade." 



H. A. DREERsays: " It Is the new Bos- 

 ton fern that has come to stay."

 Mr. John Scott. 



Dear Sir: -The 1000 Scottii Runners that you sold 

 me in June have more than fulfilled all you claimed 

 tor them— it is the finest commercial fern ever in- 

 troduced and it will positively take the place of 

 the Boston fern. Anyone visiting here will be con- 

 vinced that Scottii is all that we claim for it, when 

 they see it. Herman Dretbb. 



VEPHB0I;EPZS scottii makes three times as many fronds as Boston in a gi^ren time. Fronds are always In 



proportion to size of plant. Plants are dense and bushy in all sizes. 



IT IS THE MOST GRACEFUL AND SYMMETRICAIi NEPHROLEPIS KNOWN.
