NEPHROLEPI8 WHITBfANI 

 Tbe Improved Ostrloli Plume Fern 



Unquestionably the most valuable of this type, superseding Piersonl, 

 Barrowsii and ElegantisBima. all of which we have now discarded in favor 

 of this variety. Not only are the pinna^ on tbe individual fronds more finely 

 divided, but the fronds are denser, broader and more graceful and the 

 habit of the plant is more perfect. 



2H-in. pots, 75q per doz.; $5.00 per 100: $40.00 perlOOO. 



6 " 76c each. 



NKPHROLEPIS AMERPOHLII 



This is the latest addition to the Ottrich Plume type and is certain to 

 prove a welcome and popular variety, holding for delicacy and graceful- 

 ness the same position among the Nenhrolepis that Adiantum Gracillimum 

 does among tbe Maidenhair Ferns. Tbe pinneo are so finely divided that it 

 reminds one of a piece of fine lace, the fronds are broad and of a depth 

 which gives them a cushion-like appearance. It forms a beautiful speci- 

 men and is admired by everyone who sees it. 



We are now booking orders for September delivery. 



50c each; $3.50 per doz.; $^5 00 per 100; $200.00 per 1000. 

 NEPHROLEPTS TODEAOIDES 

 Todea or Filmy Fem-lilce Neplirolepis 



This is an English introduction that has received a first-class certificate 

 both from the Royal Horticultural Society and from the Royal Botanic 

 Society of London, and is likely to become a most important commercial 

 variety. While in a general way it reminds one of an exceptionally well 

 grown plant of N. Elegantissima, it is entirely distinct from this and all 

 others, in its strong yet compact growth and its bold heavy foliage, which 

 is distinctly tripinnate or three times divided. Specimen plants which we 

 now have growing are admired by everyone and we have great faith in its 

 future. 4-inch pots. 50c each; $6.00 per doz.; $40.00 per 100. 

 6-lnch pots. $1.00 each. 

 NEW DOUBLE BLUE LOBELIA. Katlileen Mallard 



A charming plant of English introduction, which we are now offering 

 for the first time. It originated as a chance seedling from Lobelia Spe- 

 dosa and has very large double flowers of an intense, rich, deep blue color. 

 It is a most desirable plant, which meets with favor with everyone who 

 sees it. We offer good plants for propagating purposes, 20c each; $2.00 

 per dozen; $15.00 per 100. 



BEGONIA GLOIRE DE LORRAINE 



We are now delivering first-class stock of Begonia Lorraine, 2J4-inch 

 pot-plants which have been propagated from leaf cuttings and which will 

 make plants that are much superior to stock grown in the ordinary way. 

 Tou will make no mistake in placing your orders at once; the stock is cer- 

 tain to please you. $2.00 per doz.; $15.00 per 100; $140.00 per 1000.

AN IliVITATinN Tn All ^^(^iiest^ay afternoon. August 2lBt, has been set aside by tbe entertainment committee of the Philadelphia 



MH IHfllnllUH lU ni.Ui Florists' Club for a visit to Riverton, and we extend a cordial invitation to everyone to join us on this day. A 



large steamboat, capable of accommodating .3000 people, has been engaged by us for the purpose. The trip up the Delaware river is a most interesting
