JAPAN CEDAR (Cryptomeria Japonica). 



THE NEW LADY FERN... (Polystlchum ProUfera.) 



THIS is truly a most beautiful plant for parlor, library or conservatory; also for the window garden 

 and table decoration. It is as yet very rare and not much known, but wherever seen is recognized 

 at once as a plant of exquisite beauty, entirely out of the usual. It grows low and bushy and is 



extremely graceful in habit and form as shown in 

 our photograph herewith, and besides its beautiful 

 form, the fronds have an exquisite moss-like vel- 

 vety appearance impossible to describe, but of the 

 most refined and delicate beauty. It is the remark 

 of everyone, "It is the most lovely fern I ever saw, ' ' 

 and it certainly has no equal, so far as we know. It 

 is easy to grow and will thrive and retain its ex- 

 quisite beauty for years, in the parlor or living- 

 room, with only ordinary care. We are fortunate 

 in being able to offer it to our friends in advance of 

 most other establishments. Price, nice young 

 plants, 25 cts. each, postpaid.
