BOSTON OR SWORD FERN. 



Nephrolepis Bostoniensis. 



It is not saying too much to assert that the most popular plant for house culture 

 io-day is the Boston Fern, and Avell it deserves this recognition of its merits. It is 

 so ornamental, even when quite small; but as with age it attains size and its distinc- 

 tive habit of growth, it makes a magnificent speciinen. its long, drooping and grace- 

 fully arching fronds frequently reaching a length of from 4 to 6 feet. Large speci- 

 mens are exhibited to greater advantage in hanging baskets, for which this plant is 

 admirably adapted, but it is equally successful as a pot plant. For outdoor culture 

 in shady places it is also excellent. Adding to all this the fact that no plant is mo'-e 

 easy of cultivation wherever it may be situated, its value must be appreciated. Price
