NEPflROLEPIS ELEGANTISSIMA COMPACTA 



Another New Pern originating witli us 



To be introduced fail, 1909 



Of all the yaluable introductions in Ferns tbat 

 we have sent out, besinning with the Pierson (Ne- 

 pbrolepis Plersoni), we consider Elegantissima 

 Compacta the most valuable of all, particularly 

 from a commercial standpoint. 



While this resembles EleKantlssima in a general 

 way, it is far superior to that variety, on account of 

 its perfect habit. Yet it can hardly be compared 

 with ElegantiBsima except in a general way, be- 

 cause it occupies a place by itself, and is as 

 distinct from Elegantiseima as that variety is from 

 Pierroni. Id fact, it bears the same relation to 

 Elegantissima tbat Scottii does to Bostoniensis. 



Elegantisslma Compacta has an ideal habit. 

 The fronds are considerably shorter than those of 

 Elegantisslma, and it is a more compact plant. It 

 throws a great many more crowns naturally, mak- 

 inar a very bushy, dwarf, compact plant. The 

 difference between the two varieties can be seen at 

 a glance.
