THE PIERSON FERN. Nephrosis Piersoni. 



This wonderful new 

 fern, which has attracted 

 so much attention, will 

 be sent out in spring. 



On account of the 

 weight of the foliage, the 

 plant assumes an exceed- 

 ingly graceful appear- 

 ance, and, owing to the 

 fulness of the broad 

 fronds, even small plants 

 are well furnished, mak- 

 ing much more sym- 

 metrical and beautiful 

 plants than the Boston 

 Fern. The divided pin- 

 nae keep growing con- 

 stantly, showing two dis- 

 tinct shades of green, the 

 ends being a light green, 

 while the centre and main 

 part of the fronds show a 

 dark, rich shade, the con- 

 trast producing a very 

 beautiful effect. 



Strong Plants, 2\i- 

 inch pots, $1.00 each; 

 $9.00 per dozen.
