Ficus LuTEScENs (Mistlctoe Fig). 



Three NEl^V ENGLISH FERNS. 



Adiantum riacrophyllum Bipinnatum Albo-stri- 

 atum. A rare variety, and one of tlie prettiest of the 

 variegated Maiden-hairs ; tlie mature pinnae are deep 

 green striped with white, the young fronds being a 

 pretty bronzy-rose color. The combination of the three 

 colors is very striking. $L 00 each.

 an erect plant 15 to 18 inches high, with the pinnae 

 curled and twisted in the most peculiar manner; an in- 

 teresting plant in any collection. 50 cts. each. 

 Pteris Childsll. The most beautiful of all the Pteris, 

 and as it produces no SDores it can only be propagated 

 by division, and will always be scarce. It is a strong 

 grower, and makes handsome specimens for the exhib- 

 ition table. The fronds are large, with the pinnae deeply 

 dentated and undulated on the edges and crested tips, 

 r $1.00 each. 



FICUS LUTESCENS (Mistletoe Fig). 

 A new species whicli is especially interesting on account 

 of its free and prolific fruiting qualities, it bearing at each 

 leaf axil a small fig, which, at first green, changes to a p 

 yellow; the dark green foliage is small, the whole plant 

 minding one of a branch of mistletoe. An excellent subject 

 the window garden. $1.00 each. 



M FICUS PANDURATA. 



(The Majestic Rubber Plant.) 



A truly majestic plant. Its gigantic leaves, which frequently 

 measure 10 inches in width by 15 inches in length, are irreg 

 ular in outline, are of a rich, deep green with creamy-while veins 

 and of remarkable substance, enabling the plant to flourish un- 

 der the most unfavorable conditions. One of the finest foliage 

 plants of recent years. The stock is limited, and orders will

THREE NE^W BOSTON FERNS. 



Nephrolepis Barrowsl {Improved Ostrich Plume Fern). This 

 beautiful Fern possesses the same vigorous growth which is char- 

 acteristic of the Boston Fern, with its graceful fronds, but with 

 each pinnae or leaflet subdivided so as to form a perfect 

 miniature frond. '1 he fronds grow broad and heavy, measuring 

 w hen fully developed at least 6 inches across. It is impossible 

 in any description to convey even a slight idea of the grace and 

 plume-like beauty of this Fern.

" 6 " " 76 " " 7.50 



Nephrolepis Piersoni Elegantissima. This is a " sport " 

 Irom the Ostrich Plume Fern, in which the plumy peculiarity of 

 the original is even more distinctly developed, the side pinnae 

 being again subdivided and standing at right angles to the mid- 

 rib, making both sides of the frond equally beautiful. The plant 

 with fronds nearly twice as wide, 

 making it a much more desirable 

 plant for all purposes. 



Strong young plants, in 2J--inch 

 pots, 25 cts. each ; $2.50 per doz. 



Strong plants, in 4-inch pots, 50 

 cts. each ; $5.00 per doz. 



Strong plants, in 6-inch pots, 

 $1.00 each. 



Specimen plants, in 8-inch pots, 

 $3. 00 each. 

 Nephrolepis Scotti ( Dwarf 

 Bustoii l^ern). As a decorative 

 house plant we believe that this 

 will give better satisfaction than 

 any Fern now in cultivation. In 

 a general way it may be described 

 as a miniature Boston Fern, the 

 whole plant being dwarfer and 

 more compact. The fronds are 

 shorter and narrower, gracefully 

 recurving, and which even in a 

 small specimen makes a finished 

 plant with which no other variety 

 can compare. 



Strong young plants, in 2^-inch 

 pots, 10 cts. each; $1.00 per doz. 



Strong young plants, in 3-inch 

 pots, 25 cts. each ; $2.50 per doz. 



Strong plants, in 6 inch pots, 

 75 cts. each ; $7.50 per doz.

 $1.50 each.
