BEAUTIFUL FERNS for the Home-Continued 



The Baby's Breath Fern 



Nephrolepis Goodii 



(Introduced by The Good & Reese Co.) 

 This Fern is splendid to use for Fern Dish Planting. It has the 

 finest foliage of all the Ferns. It is so delicate that a lady on seeing 

 it exclaimed: "Call it the Baby's Breath Fern, as it is so dainty in 

 texture that a baby's breath would set its fluffy foliage in motion." 

 It is an improved variety, and the best of its type.^ Nothing is 

 daintier or more exquisite than well-grown specimens. Fine 

 young plants, 30c each; 3 for 79c; 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 formed 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.
