JAPANESE HANGING GLOBE FERN. 
A unique and handsome ornament for the greenhouse, conservatory or 
living-room window. The Japanese prepare this by fastening the rhi- 
zomes (creeping stems) of Davallia Bullata around a ball of moss while in a 
dormant condition. When wanted to grow they need only be immersed in 
water and hung up, immersing them again at required intervals. The 
stock we offer is second-year growth, not the freshly made-up stock. 
Price, 1st size Globe Ferns, 50c. each, $5.00 per doz. 
Globe Fern Stands. Madefrom Japanese bamboo, handsomely spotted. 
Very useful to hold the Globe Fern. Price, 25c. each. By express only. 
NEW FERN NEPHROLEPIS 
°° ANNA FOSTER, 
A promising new variety, a ‘‘sport’’? from the Boston Fern and entirely 
iw distinct from it. The contour of the plant is more graceful and more com- 
pact, lighter and more of that airy grace which is so desirable in a 
Fern. The tips of the pinne are crested, which is its distinguishing 
characteristic, so that it might be called ‘‘The Cvested Boston Fern.’’ 
It grows freely, propagates readily and is a very valuable addition to

The “OSTRICH-PLUME” FERN. 
new 
NEPHROLEPIS PIERSONII. 
An entirely new form of the famous Boston Fern. 
The fronds grow in the most luxuriant manner, 
the pinne subdividing making miniature fronds, 
which are superimposed on the main fronds, 
looking as if two or even three were condensed 
inone. They are graceful beyond descrip- 
tion, feathery, plumy; nothing describes 
them better than Ostrich Plumes, which 
they verymuch resemble. The young min- 
lature fronds are constantly developing, 
a rich, lush-green on the darker green 
ground of the main fronds, a charm- 
ing contrast being thereby produced. 
The habit of the plant is grace per- 
sonified; the fronds arch over inwavy 
irregularity delightful to the eye. It 
Societies thus honoring it, also the 
Society of American Florists. It 
has received the highest awards 
wherever exhibited and is easily 
the most valuable plant intro- 
duced in many years. (See cut.)
