Introduction 1905 



There is nothing in the fem line that is as hand- 

 some as this beautiful fern when well grown. It 

 is a wonderful improvement over Nephrolepis 

 Piersoni in every respect both in regaidto beauty 

 and habit of growth. 



It is a sport from the Pierson Fern (Nephro- 

 lepis Piersoni), but it is very much more beautiful 

 and of greater value. It is as different fiom the 

 Pierson Fern as that is from the Boston. The 

 small side pinna; are again subdivided, producing 

 an exquisite and beautiful effect, charging the 

 entire character of the fronds, which measure less 

 than half the length and about twice the breadth 

 of the fronds of the Tierson Fern. The fronds 

 also assume an entirely different form, the side 

 pinnae standing at right angles to the mid-rib of 

 the frond, on edge rather than flat, as is usual, 

 making both sides of the frond equally beautiful 

 — entirely different from any other fern. 



The Plant is very dwarf, only about half the 

 height of the Pierson Fern, and of very much 

 more compact habit. Taking it altogether, it 

 makes one of the most exquisite plants and one of 

 the most valuable for table and house decoration 

 that has ever been introduced. The cut fronds, 

 account of their beauty, will be in great demand for table decoration, 

 ell-grow-n plants make most magnificent specimens.
