FINE FERNS. 



Our collection of Ferns is the most extensive in this country, embracing many varieties 

 only found in the collections of European specialists. 



We grow annually over one and one-half million of these plants, and not only are ther 

 now grown for interior decoration, but beautiful eti'ects 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 hare
