Ornamental Ferns 



Nephrolepis "ROOSEVELT" 



NEW 1911. See cut xm^ 

 The Grandest Fern in Its Class Yet Introduced 



In general characteristics this plant resembles the 

 world-famous Boston Fern, 'but it makes a bushier 

 and more attractive appearance as it produces 

 many more fronds than the Boston. In the Roose- 

 velt the pinnse are beautifully undulated, giving a 

 pronounced wavy efEect seen in no other fern, and 

 as the plant ages, this charming peculiarity becomes 

 more marked. 



If planted in good loamy soil in which some sharp 

 sand is mixed and kept in growing condition, a 

 small plant will produce an effect like illustration 

 in a short time. 



Price, 50c. each, postpaid. Larger size, $1.00leach, 

 by express. 



Nephrolepis Amerpohli 



Here is one of the most irresistibly beautiful Ferns 

 in existence. It belongs to the Ostrich Plume type, 

 but we think it more charming than any former introduc- 

 tion. The pinnse are so finely divided as to make each 

 broad graceful frond seem like a piece of most delicate 

 lace work. Enthusiastically admired. Price, 25c. and 35c. 

 each, postpaid. 50c. and $1.00 each, by express.

Elegantissima UVyylS'^^RN)

 sides of the fronds are equally beautiful. Plant grows 

 compact, growing only half as tall as the old Pierson but 

 with the fronds nearly twice as wide. Price, 15c. and 25c. 

 each, postpaid. Extra size 50c. and $1.00, by express.

 beautiful fronds grow two to three feet long and droop 

 over in the most delightful way. Price, good strong plants, 

 15c. and 25c. each, ppd. Larger size, 50c. and 75c., by exp.
