FINE FERNS. 



The limited space in this catalogue allows us to offer but a 

 few of the most important varieties. For a complete list see our 

 Garden Book. 



ADIAXTUM CROWEANUM. 



This is unquestionably the hardiest of the Maiden-hairs, and 

 thrives better as a house plant than any other of this type. It 

 closely resembles the popul.ir Adianttim cuneatiiin, but of 

 stronger growth. 3-inch pols, 25 cts. each ; $2.50 per doz. 

 6-inch pots, 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz. 



ADIANTII3I CUNEATUM. 



The most popular of the Maiden-hair Ferns, and which, with 

 careful treatment, will succeed as a house plant. Strong plants, 

 15 els., 25 cts. and 50 each. 



ADIANTUM FARI.EYENSE. 



The most beautiful of the Maiden-hai'.s, but requires the 

 moist atmosphere of the greenhouse for its successful cultiva- 

 tion. 25 cts., 50 cts., Ijil.OO and $2.00 each. 



ASPI.ENIUM NIDUS AVIS, 



(The Bird's Nest Fern.) 

 An interesting species, with large, dark-green foliage. 50 

 Cts. each. 



CIBOTIUM SCHIEDEI. 



This Mexican Tree-Fern is the finest decorative house plant 

 ■we know of, and, though appearing soft, is as hardy as any va- 

 riety in our collection, succeeding under the same conditions as 

 a Boston Fern ; exceedingly graceful. 3-inch pots, 50 cis. each; 

 6-inch pots, $2.00 each; 8-inch tubs, $5.00 each. 



NEPHROLEPIS BOSTOISIENSIS. 



(The Boston Sworrl Fern.) 



This is the original Boston Fern, which for -years -has been 

 the most popular house plant in cultivation. Young plants, 15 

 cts. each ; specimens in 6-inch pots, 75 cts. each ; larger speci- 

 mens, $1.00 to $3.00 each. 



NEPHROEEPIS SCOTTII. 



(Dwarf Boston Fern.) 



Identical to Boston Fern, except that it is sma:ller in all its 

 parts and of more compact and denser growth. In our judg- 

 ment this is the ideal decorative jilant for the house. Young 

 plants, 15 cts. each; 6-inch pots, 75 cts. each; specimen plants, 

 $1.00 to $3.00 each. 



NEPHROEEPIS ^VHITMANI. 



(The Improved Ostrich Plume Fern.) 



Unquestionably the most valuable of this type, superseding 

 Piersoni, Barrowsi and Elegantissima, all of which we have 

 now discarded in favor of this variety. Not only is the pinnse 

 on the individual fronds more finely divided, but the fronds are 

 denser, liroader and more graceful, and the habit of the plnnt is 

 more perfect. Young plants, 15 cts. each ; 6-inch pots, 75 els. 

 each; specimen plants, $2.00 and $3.00 each. 



NEPHROEEPIS AMERPOHEI. 



This holds for delicacy and gracefulness the same position 

 among the Nephrolepis that Adianlum Gracillimum does among 

 the Maiden-hair Ferns. The pinnae is so finely divided that it 

 reminds one of a piece of fine lace ; the fronds are broad and 

 of a depth which gives them a cushion-like appearance. 

 Young plants, 15 cts. each ; 6-inch pots, 75 cts. each. 



NEPHROEEPIS SUPERBISSIMA. 



This, the latent and most distinct of the new Boston Ferns, is 

 a unique novelty, being in a class by itself. It makes a dwarf, 

 compact growth, the fronds very dense, firm and rigid, and will 

 stand more abuse than any other. Young plants, 75 cts. each ; 

 $7.50 per doz.; 4-inch pots, $1.00 each; 5-inch pots, $1.50 

 each ; larger specimens, $2. 50, $5.00 and $7 50 each. 



PTERIS WIESONI. 



Among the crested forms of this beautiful genus this is the 

 mo^t desirable. It is of compact growth, with the pinnae more 

 densely crested than in any other variety. An elegant house 

 plant. Young plants in 3 inch pots, 15 cts. each ; specimens in 

 6-inch pots, 50 cts. each. 



FERNS FOR FERN DISHES. 



We have at all times a good supply of the most desirable va- 

 rieties for this purpose. 2|-inch pots, $1.00 per doz.; $6.00 

 per 100. 3-inch pots, $1 50 per doz.; $10 00 per 100. 





Ptekis Wilsoni.
