THE GRANDEST FERN OF THE AGE 



NEPHROLEPIS ROOSEVELT 



BJHjEPHROLEPIS ROOSEVELT is a sport from Nephrolepis Bostoniensis, but a wonderful improvement over the parent 

 |fVl| variety and others of stiff, upright growing habit, known as Harrisii or the Harrisii type. It is a stronger maker of 



fronds and young plants than any other variety and will produce a larger finished plant in a six-inch pot than 

 Boston or Harrisii will produce in a larger size. 



The finished fronds of Nephrolepis Roosevelt are at least a third wider than Boston and have more graceful droop- 

 ing habit. The pinna? are distinctly undulated, giving them a beautiful wavy effect which attracts the eye instantly. Cut 

 flower dealers will find fronds of Roosevelt invaluable for design work. A single plant of Roosevelt grown in a six-inch 

 pot will when finished almost double the number of fronds produced by Boston or Harrisii type varieties and while Boston 

 and Harrisii show stiff, upright growth in a six-inch, the wide, wavy fronds of Roosevelt droop gracefully over the pot, 

 hiding it completely from view. Finished three-inch plants of Roosevelt are equally lar^ and more attractive than the 

 average well-grown four-inch Boston, and growers of Harrisii and the Harrisii type admit they cannot produce attractive 

 plants of these varieties in pots smaller than ten-inch. Without an exception Nephrolepis Roosevelt is the most valuable 

 fern ever offered for florists' use. It has the vitality to withstand more rough treatment than other varieties and does not 

 revert to the parent type. In our long experience we have never offered the trade any plant with greater assurance of 

 entire satisfaction and predict Nephrolepis Roosevelt will very soon lead in popular demand, sweeping from the list Boston, 

 Harrisii and the Harrisii type. We are booking orders for delivery, June 1st, 1911, and will fill them in strict rotation 

 as to the date received. Get yours in early; you will not be disappointed in this fern. 2X'iach pots, 40c each; 

 $3.50 per dozen; $25.00 per 100; $200.00 per 1000. 25 plants at 100 rate; 250 plants at 1000 rate.
