e "Old Original Sword" 

 Fern 



Nephrolepis Exaltata. 



lis is the "old original Sword Fern," 

 "daddy" of them all, the one plant 

 which all the Nephrolepis we offer 

 ;. It is entirely different from any 

 s progeny, having narrow fronds that 

 long and of very erect growth. For 

 reason it is more largely used as a 

 jrpiece in vases than any of its des- 

 ants. Fine young plants, 20c; 

 ng plants, 75c. 



The "Crested" Fern 



Nephrolepis Scholzeli. 



le fronds are crested and Stan-, erect, 

 graceful arch, forming a plant of 

 . shape, and they never break down, 

 lg the plant a ragged appearance, as 

 > often the case with other plumed 

 Fine young plants, 20 cents 

 i; large plants, 60 cents each. 



The "Fluffy Ruffles" Fern 



Nephrolepis Superbissima. 



lis new Fern is quite different from all other Ferns. Its dis- 

 lishing characteristics are its dark green foliage, darker than 

 other Fern, its dense growth, much more compact, and its 

 ular shaped fronds, which give it the name of "Fluffy Ruffles 

 The fronds are very heavily imbricated, the pinnae over- 

 ing, and so formed as to resemble miniature Ferns, giving it the 

 arance of a Fern within a Fern. The plant is very sturdy in 

 abit. Fine young plants, 40c; large size, 75c. 



Boston Fern. 



The "Boston" Fern 



Nephrolepis Bostoniensis. 



Fronds which frequently attain a length of six feet. These arch 

 and droop over very gracefully, on account of which it is frequently 

 called the Fountain Fern. This drooping habit makes it an ex- 

 cellent plant to grow as a single specimen on table or pedestal. 

 Fine young plants, 20c; strong plants, 75c.
