and New Ostrich Plume Fern cazz 
Weta 
offering this 
grand new Fern, 
which we believe 
is the finest plant 
novelty intro- 
duced for many 
years. It resem- 
bles the Boston 
Fern in some 
ways, but is inde- 
scribably more 
beautiful, and 
being equally 
hardy and easily 
grown, will atonce 
take its place as 
one of the grand- 
est and most beau- 
tiful decorative 
plants for house 
and conservatory 
culture yet pro- 
duced. Our pho- 
tograph gives 
some idea of its 
feathery plume- 
likefronds, though 
the plant has to be 
seen to fully ap- 
preciate its wonderful beauty. It has taken the highest honors that can be bestowed in this 
country on any new plant. The fronds are large and heavy, arching in the most graceful manner, and 
showing two distinct shades of green, which with the young growth produce an exquisite mossy effect, 
NEW OSTRICH PLUME FERN (Nephrolepis Piersonii) 
exceedingly beautiful and attractive, and quite as noticeable in small plants as in large ones. It isa_ 
quick, rapid grower, not subject to insects or disease, and can be depended on to make a handsome dis- 
play at once. It is certainly one of the most beautiful and satisfactory decorative plants for house or con- 
servatory ever introduced. Price, fine strong plants, 25 cts., 35 cts. and 50 cts. each, postpaid. Extravsize 
plants for immediate decoration, 75 cts., $1.00, $1.50 and $2.00 each, by express. 
The Lovely Araucaria Excelsa 
(Norfolk Island Pine, or Christmas Tree Palm) 
ee is undoubtedly the handsomest and most 
beautiful of allthe Decorative Evergreens for house 
culture. It has no equal, but is not often seen 
because rare and expensive, but we are now in posi- 
tion to offer it at reasonable prices, so that all who 
wish can have one of these beautiful trees in their 
home; it grows nicely in parlor or living-room, re- 
quires very little care, not subject to insects, stands 
hard usage well, is exceedingly beautiful and has a 
high-bred distinguished appearance entirely different 
from anything else. Price, fine sturdy little Trees, 6 to 8 
inches high, 60 cts. each; 8 to 10 inches high, 2 to 3 
tiers of branches, from 4 inch pots, 75 cts. each, post-

each, by express.

attractive. Strong plants, 30 cts. each, postpaid, Extra
