FINE FERNS 



NEPHROLEPI8 BOSTONIENSlS. (Tlie Boston Fern) 

 6-in. pots 50c each. ' 



NEPHROLEPI8 SCOTTII. (Tlie 8cott Fern) 



6-in. pots 50c each. 



NEPHROLEPIS WHITBfANI 

 The Improved Oatrlch Plume Fern 



Unquestionably the most valuable of this type, superseding Piersoni, 

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

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

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

 habit of the plant is more perfect. 



2M-in. pots, 75 '. per doz.; $5.00 per 100; $40.00 per 1000. 



6 " 76c each. 



NEPHROLEPI8 AMERPOHUI 



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

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

 ness the same positiun amon^ the KephrolepiH that Adiantum Gracillimum 

 does amoDK the Maidenhair Ferns. The pinna; are so finely divided that it 

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

 which Kives 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.; $Z5 00perl0O: $200 00 per 1000. 



NEPHROLEPTS TODEAOIOES 

 Todea or Filmy Fern-like Nephrolepls 



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

 both from the Royal Horticultural Socety 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 ao 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 sreat faith in its 

 future. 4-inch pots. 50c each; $5.00 per doz.; $40.00 per 100. 

 6-inch pots, $1.00 each. 

 NEW DOUBLE BLUE LOBELIA. KatUeen 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- 

 ciosa 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 lirst-class stock of Begonia Lorraine, 234-inch 

 pot-plants which have been propagated from leaf cuttinK^ and which will 

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

 tain to please you. $2.00 per doz.: $16.C0 per 100; $140.00 per 1000.
