CURRIE BROTHERS’ FARM AND GAkv.iv ANNUAL. 69 
FERNS. | — 
As conservatory specimens, parlor ornaments or for general decorative purposes, the many 
sautiful species of the Fern Family stand almost unrivaled. Planted in rock work in the con- 
vatory they are exceedingly effective; while in ferneries, for window decoration, or as dining 
ble centerpieces, for which the small and more delicate kinds are most useful, they hold a unique 
ace, which may be said to be indisputably and exclusively their own. Many of the more robust, 
though scarcely less beautiful sorts, are admirably adapted for exterior decorations in shaded 
orders and secluded nooks, where the direct rays of the noonday sun cannot reach them. 
Our collection embraces a large assortment of the finest and most beautiful species, but only ‘ 
ose varieties which are easily grown and most reliable. Customers may confidently rely on us ail 
send the most suitable kinds, if they will kindly inform us in ordering the purpose for which the 
ants are intended.

NOTE—AIl sizes of our Boston Ferns | 
Nephrolepis Bostoniensis. ; 
It is not saying too much to assert that the most popular plant 
for house culture today is the Boston Fern, and well it deserves 
this recognition of its merits. If but one plant could be grown in 
the house we would advise that this beautiful Fern be selected. It 
is so ornamental, even when quite small; but as with age it at- 
tains size and its distinctive habit of growth, it makes a magnifi- 
, cent specimen, its long, drooping and gracefully arching fronds 
frequently reaching a length of from 4 to 6 feet. Large specimens 
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 itis also excel- 
* lent. Adding to all this the fact that no plant is more easy of 
cultivation wherever it may be situated, its value must be appre- 
ciated.
