BEAUTIFUL DECORATIVE FERNS 
These beautiful plants for home decoration vie with the Palms for first place in the 
esteem of flower lovers. They are finely cut and oddly shaped. Ferns give a graceful 
effect produced by few other plants and they do exceedingly well in the parlor and 
conservatory. The Nephrolepis family, of which the well-known Boston is a member, 
er queued us many beautiful species of late years. We recommend all the varieties 
isted. 
NEPHROLEPIS Superbissima. — (The 
Fluffy Ruffles Fern.)—Foliage dark green, 
irregular shaped fronds, heavily imbricat- 
| ed, the pinnae over-lapping, very sturdy in 
its habit. 
| NEPHROLEPIS Elegantissima. — (“The 
Philadelphia Lace Fern”.)—This is a great- 
ly improved Elegantissima, not running 
back nearly so much as the old form. 
NEPHROLEPIS “Roosevelt’.— The pin- 
nae are beautifully undulated, giving the 
Rooseveit a pronounced wavy effect seen 
in no other Fern; as the plant ages this 
effect becomes quite distinct. 
WHITMANII.—(Ostrich Plume Fern). 
More of a dwarf habit than the Boston 
Fern. The fronds are of entirely different 
| nature. Each frond is subdivided on the 
| order of the Compacta Fern, thus produc- 
ing a very beautiful effect. Its decorative 
ability is excellent. 
NORWOOD FERN.—A dwarf compact 
form of Whitmanii, carrying its fronds
