HARDY FERN'. 



HARDY FERNS. 



The tendency towards natural gardening 

 has brought many plants into prominence 

 which had long "been neglected; none are 

 more deserving of this distinction than 

 Hardy Ferns. Given a porous soil rich in 

 humus, a shady or partially shaded position 

 and moisture, and they luxuriate coming 

 up year after year. We offer a choice 

 selection of the best native sorts. Price, 

 25c. each, $2.50 per doz., $18.00 per 100.

 fragrant, double white flowers. Price, 

 50c. each, $4.50 per doz. 



NEW OSTRICH-PLUME FERN. 



NEPHROLEPIS WKTMANI. 



A new form of the " Ostrich Plume " 

 Fern. The pinnae subdividing making 

 miniature fronds, which are superimposed 

 en the main fronds, looking as if two cr 

 even three were condensed in one. They 

 are graceful beyond description, feathery, 

 plum}-; nothing describes them better than 

 Ostrich Plumes. This is the best of the type.

Cactus Flowering Geraniums* 



A very unique and strikingly beautiful distinct type 

 which, originating in England but a few years ago, at 

 once won a place in great popular favor as pot plants, 

 for the conservatory and window boxes, for which they 

 are unusually pleasing and attractive, on account of 

 their remarkably handsome and thrift}' but dwarf 

 growth, small foliage, and marvelous profusion of bloom.

 Fire Dragon. Bright scarlet crimson, exceptionally 



striking and showy. 

 Mrs. J. Brown. Dark scarlet; dwarf grower; free 



bloomer. 

 The Countess. Deep solferino shading to rose-pink. 



35c. each, $3.50 per doz.; set of 4 for $1.25. 



Kephrolepis Piersoni Elegantissima. This is a sport from 

 the Pierson Fern, in which the plumy peculiarity of the 

 original form is even more distinctly developed than in the 

 original; the side pinnae being again subdivided and stand- 

 ing at right angles to the direction of the midrib, makes 

 both sides of the frond equally beautiful, while, at the 

 same time, the plant is of much more compact habit, 

 growing only one-half as tall, but with the fronds nearly 

 twice as wide, making it a much more desirable plant 

 for all purposes. {See cut.) Price, 2-inch pots, 15c.
