^ THE e1 St PLUMED FERN. 



Nephrolepis Piersoni Elegantissima. This is a sport from 

 the Pierson Fern, in which the plumy peculiarity of the 

 original form is even more distinctly developed than in the 

 original; the side pinnae being again subdivided and stand- 

 ing 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, 15c. 

 each, §1. 50 per doz.; 3-inch pots, 25c. each, $2.25 

 per doz.; 4-inch pots, 40c. each, 84.00 per doz.; 5-inch 

 pots, 60c. each; 6-inch pots, 75c. each; 7-inch pots, 

 $1.25 each
