A Wonderful New Nephrolepis 



Nephrolepis Superbissima 



Introduction of 1908 



We desire to call attention to this new fern, which originated with ub and which we are introducing this year. 



It is a very unique and distinct novelty — as distinct from Nephrolepis Piersoni and Piersoni elegantissima as they 

 were from Bostoniensis. It is, in fact, a complete break. The fronds are very heavily imbricated, the pinnaj over- 

 lapping, making the fronds very dense and compact. 



It differs from the other Nephrolepis not only in form, but also in color, being a richer and darker green- 

 entirely different from the yellowish green of all the other Nephrolepis. The plant is very sturdy in its habit, the 

 fronds never breaking down. 



While a photograph shows a similarity to its predecessors, it is absolutely distinct, not only in the formation of 

 the fronds and color, but also in its habit and general characteristics. It makes a much more dwarf and compact 

 growth, the fronds being very dense, firm and rigid, and having a great deal more substance, so that it will stand 

 more knocking around than any other fern of this type. ^ 



It is a sterling novelty. Experts who have seen it consider it by far the best fern ever sent out. It is a plant 

 that needs to be seen to have its great value and sterling qualities appreciated. It really is not in the same class 

 with the other varieties. 



It was awarded a I'lfSl'^ClSlSS w61*TlTlCd.X6 by the Royal Horticultural Society at Crystal Palace in 

 London, November, 1908, the plants exhibited there having been shipped from New York two weeks before that time. After 

 being exhibited in London, the same plants were shipped to Edinburgh, Scotland, where they were again awarded a First-class 

 Certificate by the Scottish Horticultural Society. This will indicate the value of the plant as a novelty, and also demonstrates 

 in a very conclusive manner its fine keeping and shipping qualities. 



We have just begun shipping advance orders, and new orders can now be shipped immediately on receipt.

OWOSSO, MICH. 



Miss May E. Jacobs, the florist on 

 West King street, has a remarkable S. A. 

 Nutt geranium, which has been much no- 

 ticed and admired. Miss Jacobs says 

 of it: 



"It is about five years old and stands 

 eleven feet high, growing in the ground 

 at the end of a bench. It was the won- 

 der of the season to all who came into 

 our greenhouse last spring. We cut 

 about seventy-five clusters of blooms for 

 Decoration day and it has been loaded 

 with blossoms ever since. We think it 

 is rather unusual to see so large a gera- 

 nium in Michigan." 



Newport, Va. — Samuel Kevans, of 

 New York, has been appointed chief 

 florist at the National Soldiers' Home, 

 to succeed Charles Lindsay, who resigned 

 the position in order to return to his 

 home in Scotland. Mr. Kevans is ex- 

 pected to come here by September 1. 



Weehawken, N. J. — After nearly half 

 a century at the same place, Lorentz 

 Sons will move their retail store about 

 September 1 to Bergenline avenue, at 

 Fourth street. This is an excellent loca- 

 tion, next to the Weehawken Trust Co. 

 The greenhouses and wholesale business 

 will remain at the old place.
