f^ The Nephrolepis Scotti introduced last year, and a member of 

 the Boston family {Nephrolepis) , is universally recognized by the 

 florists of this country as a great improvement over the Boston Fern. 

 <fl It is as strong as the Boston, but more compact. C| It makes a 

 more bushy and luxuriant growth. <| It makes three times as many 

 fronds as the Boston in a given time. Cfl Its comparative hardiness 

 (being able to stand the trials of indoor growing) , its beauty and com- 

 pactness, make it without question the best decorative house plant. 

 €| It being my own introduction, I have an especially fine stock of 

 strong, well grown plants. Write for Prices. 



I am also Headquarters for DECORATIVE PLANTS of all kinds.

HARDY FLOWERS 



Strong field grown clumps planted this autumn will be established and ready 

 to afford a wealth of bloom earlier in the Spring than if you wait till April. 



Send for attractive folder price-list of the best old fashioned sorts. 

 Order early. 



At the Westbury Nurseries one may choose everything for the com- 

 plete planting of a place. We would call special attention to our stock of 

 splendidly grown, heavily rooted shade trees, flowering shrubs, and ever- 

 greens. Then to our specialty : extra size nursery trees 15 to 30 feet high, 

 grown 8 to 25 feet apart for perfect development. Then choose the great 

 spreading shade tree, 12 to 20 inches in diameter and 25 to 50 feet high, 

 that completes the picture. 



Our catalogue, "Trees for Long Island," opens a new field in horti- 

 cultural knowledge.
