FARFUGIUM. 



FERNS. 



As conservatory specimens, parlor ornaments, or for gen- 

 eral decorative purposes, the many delicate, beautiful, species 

 of Ferns stand almost unrivalled. Medium sized and smaller 

 Ferns are admirably adapted for planting in rock work in the 

 conservatory and for the fernery in the' parlor. Our collection 

 is large and varied, but, owing to limited space, we cannot 

 enumerate the kinds. We have all the leading and rare sorts, 

 being in a position, therefore, to supply almost any demand.
