Grand New Ostrich Plume Fern 



(Nephrolepis Piersonii) 



THIS is undoubtedly one of the finest plants for House Decoration 

 ever offered. It is a strong, vigorous grower and resembles the 

 Boston Fern in some ways, but the fronds are much broader and 

 heavier and more feathery and they arch over in an equally graceful 

 manner, showing, with the young growth, two shades of green, pro- 

 ducing a lovely mossy effect which adds greatly to the beauty of the 

 plant. It IS a quick, rapid grower, not subject to insects, and can be 

 depended on to make a handsome display at once, and is certainly one 

 of the most beautiful and satisfactory decorative plants for House or 

 Conservatory ever introduced. Price, fine strong plants, 25, 35 and 

 50cts. each, postpaid. Extra size plants for immediate decoration, 75 

 cts., |1.00, |1.50 and |2.00 each, express.

 and droop over in the most delightful way. Very popular and always in 

 large demand. Price, good strong plants, 15, 20 and 25 cts. each;
