 ing fronds ; pinnules large and closely set upon the rachis ; of a pleasing green.

 and decompound. It is a very grand plant, and succeeds well in a warm green- 

 house. $1.00. 



POLYPODIUM KURRUDRIANUM.— (i^^rom the Sandwich Islands.) 



**A new and remarkably beautiful Fern. From its manner of growth it is 

 peculiarly adapted for culture in hanging baskets. Of a drooping habit, it first 

 sends out a number of wooly fronds of a dark brown color. After the rope- 

 looking fronds have attained to the length of from twelve to fifteen inches, they 

 unroll and become a beautiful bright green, and continue to grow until they 

 are from five to six feet long. 25 cents.

 lar and pointed, of a graceful arching habit of growth, and most elegantly cut 

 into a multitude of small blunt oblique soriferous segments ; color a pale green.

ASPLENIUM LONGISSIMUM.— (A^eu;.)

 feet long, and are produced in great abundance, so that the plant is well fur- 

 nished at all seasons ; the pinme are of more coriaceous texture than those of 

 most basket Ferns, and thus the duration of the frond is prolonged. 50 cents.

 lioides. It is a noble Fern, of robust growth, sending forth, as from a central
