Ornamental Ferns 



Nephrolepis Amerpohli — New 



Here is one of the most irresistibly beautiful Ferns 

 we ever saw. It belongs to the Ostrich Plume type, 

 but we think it more charming than any former intro- 

 duction. The pinnae are so finely divided as to 

 make each broad graceful frond seem like a piece of 

 most delicate lace work. The dense luxuriant foliage 

 makes up a plant that will be enthusiastically ad- 

 mired amid the most elegant surroundings. Price, 

 25c. and 35c. each, postpaid. 50c. and $1.00 each, 

 by express. 



"WHITMANII" 



We think this the most popular Fern. Rather 

 dwarf in growth, but graceful, very compact, dense 

 and feathery. Each frond or branch has a double 

 row of perfect little fronds set at right angles to the 

 midrib, and so thick they seem almost crowded. It 

 is a healthy, vigorous grower, constantly unfolding 

 fresb fronds of light green that contrast exquisitely 

 with the deep green of the older fronds. It is some- 

 what like Barrowsii, but decidedly more fluffy, more 

 delicate and beautiful (see illustration, frond No. 

 1). Price, 20c. and 30c. each, postpaid. Larger size, 

 50c, 75c. and $1.00, by express. 



OSTRICH PLUME FERN 



(Nephrolepis Piersonii) 



A strong, vigorous grower, resembling the Boston 

 Fern somewhat, but the fronds are much heavier 

 and more feathery, and arch over in a most graceful

manner, showing two shades of green and produ- 

 cing a lovely mossy effect, which adds greatly to its beauty 

 (see illustration, frond No. 2). Price, strong plants, 15c. and 

 25c. each, postpaid. Extra size plants for immediate 

 effect, 50c, 75c and $1.00 each, by express. 



THE BOSTON FERN 



(Nephrolepis Exaltata) 



This is the old standby, and still one of the best. The 

 beautiful fronds grow two to three feet long and droop over 

 in the most delightful way. (See illustration, frond No. 3.) 

 Price, good strong plants, 15c, 20c and 25c each, postpaid. 

 Larger size, 40c, 50c, 75c and $1.00, by express.

NEWPORT PARLOR FERN 



(Nephrolepis Scottii) 



Our engraving is made from a photo- 

 graph, and therefore shows the plant ex- 

 actly as it appears; it resembles the Bos- 

 ton Fern in some respects, but grows 

 more erect, has shorter, narrower fronds 

 and makes three times as many of them; 

 has taken gold and silver medals at 

 many great shows wherever exhibited. 

 Thrives nicely in parlor or living room, 

 requires very little attention, and is one 

 of the grandest plants for the house or con- 

 servatory it is possible to have. Price, 

 15c, 20c and 30c each, according to 

 size, postpaid. Extra size for immediate 

 effect, 50c, 75c and $1.00 each, by ex- 

 press, at purchaser's expense.
