THE GRANDEST FERN OF THE AGE 



NEPHROLEPIS ROOSEVELT 



JUIIEPHROLEPIS ROOSEVELT is a sport from Neplirolepis Bos- 

 BM toniensis, but a wonderful impro-vement over the parent vari- 

 ety and others of stiff, upright growing habit, known as Har- 

 risii 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 pro- 

 duce in a larger size. 



The finished fronds of Nephrolepis Roosevelt are at least a 

 third wider than Boston and have more graceful drooping habit. 

 The pinnte are distinctly undulated, giving them a beautiful wavy 

 efTect 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 stifT, upright growth in a 

 six-inch, the wide, wavy fronds of Roosevelt droop gracefully 

 over the pot, hiding it completely from view. Finished tnree-inch 

 plants of Roosevelt are equally large and more attractive than the 

 average well-grown four-mch 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 excep- 

 tion Nephrolepis Roosevelt is the most valuable fern ever offered 

 for florists' use. It has the vitality to withstand more rough treat- 

 ment 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 pop- 

 ular 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 di8appointe<l 

 in this fern.
