Cassia Floribunda, A. Boehm. 



Four Fine 

 Boston Ferns. 



Neplirolepis 



Exaltata Superba. 



Probably the most beautiful of all 

 the crested or plumed Boston Ferns. 

 Our illustration gives a fair idea of its 

 densely frilled fronds. The plant at- 

 tains a height of over 3 feet when 

 grown continuously, requiring, in the 

 case of this variety, the facilities of a 

 conservatory or greenhouse; but it is 

 such a grand subject that it is worthy 

 of special care. Good plants, $'2.00 

 each. 



NEPHROLEPIS 



GIATRASII. 



This may appropriately be called a 

 miniature Boston Fern, from which it 

 is a sport, and is still smaller in all its 

 parts than the popular Scott fern. 

 Where a perfect specimen is required 

 in a three, four or five-inch pot this is 

 the ideal variety. Plants in 4-inch 

 pots, 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 



Neplirolepis Scliolzeli iPiumed Scott Fem). 



In this new form, a sport from Scold, we have all the desirable 

 features of the parent, with plumy fronds similar to the Ostrich Plume 

 Fern. Its leaves are held erect with a graceful arch, forming a plumy 

 globe, which is as pretty in a small plant as it is in a specimen plant of 

 the largest size. A splendid variety for table decoration. -1-inch pots, 

 50 cts. each; G-inch pots, ~'< cts. each; specimen plants, $2.50 each. 



NEPHROEEPIS SFPERBISSIJIA. 



A unique variety, differing from all others and really in a class by 



itself. It makes a dwarf, compact growth, the fronds being very 



dense, firm and rigid, and of a deep green color. 3-inch pots, 25 cts. 

 each; 5-inch pots, 75 cts. e^cli. 



CASSIA FEORIBUNDA, 

 A. BOEHM. 



A free-flowering plant, with large orange-yellow flowers, 

 which are produced throughout the summer and fall. An ele- 

 gant subject for planting in the border in summer, or for pot cul- 

 ture, or it may be grown in a tub into a large specimen, five feet 

 or more high, in which shape it makes an effective lawn plant. 

 It can be wintered in a dormant condition in a cellar or similar 

 place, where not exposed to severe frost. 35 cts. each. 



Grand New Fern 

 Poly pod iu in Glaucum Cristatum. 



A perfect gem and entirely distinct from all other Ferns, and 

 a splendid subject to grow into specimen plants; the fronds 

 attain a height of about 2 feet, and are of a metallic glaucous- 

 blue color, with the edges of the pinna? wavy and crispate, 



giving the plant a graceful, unique appearance. $1.00 



each. 



RARE FERN 



PTERIS CHIEDSII. 



The most beautiful of* all the Pteris, and as it pro- 

 duces no spores will always be scarce. It is a strong 

 grower, and makes handsome specimens for the exhibi- 

 tion table. The fronds are large, with the pinnre deeply 

 dentated and undulated on the edges and crested tips. 

 $1.00 each.
