THE NEW, ELEGANT, PLUMED FERN. 



THE NEW, ELEGANT, 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 pinnse 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 desir- 

 able plant for all purposes. (See cut.) 

 Price, 2-inch pots, 50c. each, $4.50 

 per doz. ; 3-inch pots, 75c. each, S7.50 

 per doz.; 5-inch pots, SI. 50 each; 6- 

 inch pots, $2.00 each. 



Note. — Plants of the older "Ostrich- 

 Plume Fern," from 3-inch pots, 20c. 

 each, $2.00 per doz. 



The New Parlor Fern, N. SCOTTII. 



It is in essence a condensed form of the 

 Boston fern, with valuable characteristics 

 added, which are not evident in the parent, 



an average plant in an 8-inch pot having 200 fronds which average about 

 20 inches in length and 3 inches in width at the widest point; the pinna? are 

 very closely set, so that they overlap, making a more finished frond than the 

 parent. Plants in 4-inch pots showed a spread of 18 inches and a height of 

 10 to 12 inches. It has a crispness and hardness about it which is superior to 

 the parent, and which is one of its very valuable characteristics. Price, 

 plants from 2-inch pots, 20c. each, $2.00 per doz.; 3-inch pots, 30c. each, $3.00 

 per doz.; 4-inch pots, 50c. each, $5.00 per doz.; 5-inch pots, $1.00 each, $9.00
