Beautiful Ferns for the Home Continued 



The Crested Fern 



Nephrolepis Scholzeli. 



The fronds are crested and stand erect, with graceful arch, 

 forming a plant of ideal shape, and they never break down, giving 

 the plant a ragged appearance, as is so often the case with other 

 plumed ferns. Fine young plants, 20 cents each; 3 for 50 cents; 

 large plants, 60 cents each. 



Baby's Breath — Fern "Goodii." 



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 each; 3 for 50c; strong plants, 75c. 



The Fluffy Ruffles Fern 



Nephrolepis Superbissima. 



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

 tinguishing characteristics are its dark green foliage, darker than 

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

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

 Fern." The fronds are very heavily imbricated, the pinnae over- 

 lapping, and so tormed as to resemble miniature Ferns, giving it the 

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

 its habit. Fine young plants, 40c each; 3 for $1.10; large 

 size, 75c.
