PIERSON GETS BRITISH AWARD. 



F. R. Pierson Co., Tarrytown, N. Y., 

 sent an exhibit of its new fern Nephrol- 

 epis exaltata superbissima to the meet- 

 ing of the Royal Horticultural Society, 

 London, England, November 12, where it 

 gained the highest award, a first-class 

 certificate. It was described as follows 

 by an English authority: 



"This is another plumose variety of 

 the well known nephrolepis. The fronds 

 are more plumose and dense than N. to- 

 deaoides, each frond being almost like a 

 cushion, several inches in depth. Some 

 of the pinnsB grow upwards, at right an- 

 gles to the rachis, thus producing the re- 

 markable thickness of the frond. It is a 

 very hard fern, and will probably be cap- 

 able of withstanding ill-usage better than 

 N. todeaoides, but it is much less beauti- 

 ful than that variety, being too dense, 

 therefore of heavy appearance." 



Todeaoides is an English sport and the 

 Britons are loyal to all things British. 



FERNS FOR A COOL HOUSE. 



Please let me know what would be the 

 best ferns to grow in a house where the 

 night temperature is about 48 or 50 de- 

 grees. J- O. B. 



Any of the nephrolepises, such as Bos- 

 toniensis, Elegantissima and Whitmani, 

 will do well. Adiantum cuneatum will 

 succeed satisfactorily. Cyrtomium fal- 

 catum, Polypodium aureum, many of the 

 pterises, such as Cretica, Wimsetti, trem- 

 ula, serrulata and argyrsea; Aspidium 

 tsussimense, Lastrea opaca and L. aris- 

 tata, with quite a few of the davallias 

 and aspleniums, may be relied upon. 

 The ferns will require the shady end of 

 the house and prefer a moderately moist 

 atmosphere. C. W. 



Toledo, O. — The Schoen Floral Co. 

 was more than pleased with Thanksgiv- 

 ing business. In addition to store trade 

 they had two large decorations, one for 

 an elaborate wedding and one for the 

 Knights of Columbus.
