Introduction 1905 



There is nothing in the fern line that is as handsome as this beautiful fern when well 

 grown. It is a wonderful improvement over Nephrolepis Piersoni in every respect 

 both in regard to beauty and habit of growth. It is a sport from the Pierson Fern 

 (Nephrolepis P*iersoni), but it is very much more beautiful and of greater value. It is 

 as different from the Pierson Fern as that is from the Boston. The small side pinnse are again subdivided, producing an exquisite and beautiful 

 effect, changing the entire character of the fronds, which measure less than half the length and about twice the breadth of the fronds of the 

 Pierson Fern. The fronds also assume an entirely different form, the side pinnae standing at right angles to the mid-rib of the frond, on 

 edge rather than flat, as is usual, making both sides of the frond equally beautiful— entirely different from any other fern. 



The Plant is very dwarf, only about half the height of the Pierson Fern, and of very much more compact habit. Taking it altogether 

 it makes one of the most equisite plants and one of the most valuable for table and house decoration that has ever been introduced. The cut 

 fronds, on account of their beauty, will be in great demand for table decoration. Well-grown plants make most magnificent specimens.
