NEPHROLEPIS ELEGANTISSIIHA COMPACTA 



Another New Fern originating witii us 



To be introduced fali, lOOQ 



Of all the raluable introductions in Ferns that 

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

 phrolepis Plersoni), we consider EleKantissima 

 Oompacta the most valuable of all, particularly 

 from a commercial standpoint. 



While this resembles EleKantlBslma in a general 

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

 its perfect habit. Yet it can hardly be compared 

 with' ElegantlBSima except in a general way, be- 

 cause it occupies a place by itself, and is as 

 distinct from Elegantissima as that variety is from 

 Plersoni. Id fact, it bears the same relation to 

 EleKantissima that Scottii does to Bostoniensis. 



EleKantissima Oompacta has an ideal habit. 

 The fronds are considerably shorter than those of 

 Elegantissima, and it is a more compact plant. It 

 throws a great many more crowns naturally, mak- 

 ing a very busby, dwarf, compact plant. The 

 difTerence between the two varieties can be seen at 

 a glance. 



Fine, atronc plants, 3^4*lnoli pots, tS.OO 

 per dozen; $35.00 per 100; 4-lncli pota, 

 $7.50 per dozen; $50.00 per 100; e.lnch 

 pans, $1.50 each; 8-lncli pans, $8.00 each. 



We make a specialty of all kinds of Nephrolepis, 

 carrying a large stock of all sises at all times— 

 Plersoni, Elegantissima, Superbitsima, Bostoniensis. 

 Scottii, Whitmani, Amerpoblii, etc.
