Cyrtomium Rochfordianum (Crested Holly Fern) 



NEW AND RARE FERNS 



Adiantum Farleyense Gloriosum. 



(Ruhm von Mordrecht, or Glory Fern.) 



An easy-growing form of that most beautiful of all Maiden- 

 Hairs, Adiantum Farleyense, which, on account of its special 

 requirements in atmospheric and temperature conditions, has 

 been limited in its cultivation to specialists. This variety, which 

 is identical in every particular, has a stronger constitution, and 

 may be successfully grown under the same conditions as any 

 ordinary form of the Maiden-Hairs, a decided and great ad" 

 vantage, which will assure for it widespread popularity. (See 

 cut.) Good plants in 3-inch pots, 25 cts. each; $2.50 per do^. 

 4-inch pots, 50 cts. each; §5.00 per doz. 6-inch pots, $1.50

CYRTOJIHJJI ROCHFORDIANUM 



(Crested Holly Fern.) 



Next to the Boston Ferns, the Holly Fern is the most satis- 

 factory for apartment use, and this variety has made a place for 

 itself in the first rank as a decorative plant. Its foliage is of 

 rich, glossy, dark green; the pinnae or leaflets, besides being

 giving the plant a graceful and light appearance. (See cut.) 3- 

 inch pots, 15 cts. each. 4-inch pots, 25 cts. each.

 and is similar in habit of growth to its parent, producing on 

 well-grown plants fronds from '2 to 3 feet long, on which all of the 

 pinnae is beautifully fringed or laciniated; entirely distinct from all other 

 varieties; it makes a handsome specimen grown either in a pot or a 

 hanging basket. Illustrated on page 157. 4-inch pots, 50 cts. each;

 2 feet, and are of a metallic glaucous blue color, with the 

 edges of the pinna wavy and crispate, giving the plant a grace- 

 ful, unique appearance. $1.00 each.

 pinnae deeply dentated and undulated on the edges and crested tips. 4|
