Our collection of Ferns is the most extensive in this country, embracing many varieties only found in tlie collections of European 

 specialists. 



We now grow annually over two millions of these plants, and not only are they grown for interior decoration, but beautiful effects 

 can be produced in. the open border, in conjunction with other foliage plants, in such positions where they are shaded from the direct 

 rays of the sun, and where they can be liberally supplied with water. We have marked the vai'ieties best suited for this j)urpose with 

 an asterisk (*).
