NEPHROLEP1S WH1TMANII. 



A new form of the "Plumed Fern." The pinnae subdividing 

 making miniature fronds, which are superimposed on the main 

 fronds, looking as if two or even three were condensed in one. 

 They are graceful beyond description, feathery, plumy; nothing 

 describes them better than Ostrich Plumes. Price, 2-inch pots, 

 $5.00 per 100; 3-inch pots, $8.00 per 100; 4-inch pots, $3.00 per doz. 

 5-inch pots, $4.00 per doz.; 6-inch pots, $6.00 per doz. 



NEPHROLEPIS AMERPOHLI. 



This newest of the " sports " descended from the " Boston Fern " 

 is appropriately called "Lace Fern " on account of the fineness and 

 delicacy of the fronds. It is very striking in appearance. Broad 

 fronds deep green, very deep growth giving soft filmy appearance. 

 It is very distinct and must be seen to be appreciated. Price, from 

 4-inch pots, $3.50 per doz., 5-inch pots, $5.00 per doz. 



NEPHROLEPIS PIERSONII ELEQANTISSIIHA. 



This is a sport from the Pierson Fern, in which the plumy peculiar- 

 ity of the original form is even more distinctly developed than in 

 the original, the side pinnae being again subdivided and standing 

 at right angles to the direction of the midrib, makes both sides of 

 the frond equally beautiful, while, at the same time, the plant is of 

 much more compact habit, growing only one-half as tall, but with 

 the fronds nearly twice as wide, making it a much more desirable 

 plant for all purposes. (See cut.) Price, 2-inch pots, $5.00 per 100; 

 3-inch pots, $1.00 per doz.; 4-inch pots, $2.50 per doz.; 5-inch pots, 

 $4.00 per doz.; 6-inch pots, $6.00 per doz. 



NEPHROLEPIS SCOTTi. 



This is in essence a condensed form of the Boston fern, with valu- 

 able characteristics added, which are not evident in the parent. The 

 form and habit make it of special value for the house. Price, plants 

 from 4-inch pots, $2.00 per doz., $15.00 per 100; 5-inch pots, $3.50 

 per doz. 



THE BOSTON FERN. 



In well grown specimens the fronds attain a length of six or seven 

 feet, like plumes arching over in every direction, in a most graceful 

 manner. Price, plants from 7-inch pots, $9.00 per doz.; 6-inch pots, 

 $6.00 per doz.; 5-inch pots, $4.00 per doz.; 4-inch pots, $2.50 per
