NEW and RARE FERNS. 



Adiantum Farleyense Gloriosa. 



(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 beer 

 limited in its cultivation to specialists. This new 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 advantage, which 

 ■will assure for it widespread popularity. Good plants in 3-inch 

 pots, 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. In 4-inch pots, 50 cts. each; 

 $5.00 per doz. 



The New Crested Holly Fern. 



Cyrtomium Rochfordianum. 



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

 factory for apartment use, and we believe that this new variety 

 will quickly find a place for itself in the first rank as a decora- 

 tive plant. Its foliage is of rich, glossy, dark gieen; the pinnae 

 or leaflets, besides being wavy or undulated on the edges, are 

 also deeply cut or toothed, giving the plant in connection with 

 its massiveness a graceful and light appearance. Good young 

 plants in 2J-inch pots, 15 cts. each; 1-1.50 per doz. Strong 

 plants in 4-inch pots, 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 



Nhw Chested Holly Fern. 



The Glory Fern (Adiantum Farleyense Gloriosa). 



Nephrolepis Fxaltata Superba. 



Probably the most beautiful of all the crested or plumed 

 Boston Ferns, the fronds being densely frilled their whole length. 

 The plant attains a height of over 3 feet when well grown, re- 

 quiring, in the case of this variety, the facilities of a conservatory 

 or greenhouse; but it is such a grand subject that it is worthy of 

 special care. Good plants, 50 cts. each. 



NEPHROLEPIS MAGNIFICA. 



This is another valuable form of Ostrich Plume type of Boston 

 Fern in which the foliage is finely divided, so as to appear like 

 a piece of fine lace; the fronds are broad and of a depth that 

 gives them a delicate cushion-like appearance. Good plants in 

 3-inch pots, 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 



Pol y podium Glaueum Cristatum. 



A perfect gem and entirely distinct from all other Ferns, and 

 a splendid subject to grow into specimen plants; the fronds attain 

 a height of about 2 feet, and are of a metallic glaucous blue 

 color, with the edges of the pinnae wavy and crispate, giving the 

 plant a graceful, unique appearance. $1.00 each. 



PTERIS CHH.HSII. 



The most beautiful of all the Pteris, and as it produces no 

 seed or spores will always be scarce. It is a strong grower, and 

 makes handsome specimens for the exhibition table. The fronds 

 are large, with the pinnae deeply dentated and undulated on the 

 edges and crested tips. 50 cts. each. 



New Golden-leaved Selaginella. 



(S. Emilieana Aurea.) 

 The green-leaved Selaginella Emilieana is one of the prettiest 

 of the mosses, and is extensively grown for use in fern-dishes, 

 as well as for individual specimens in connection with Ferns, etc 

 It succeeds well in the window garden, forming pretty, shapely- 

 plants from 6 to 10 inches high. This new variety, however, 

 has rich golden-yellow foliage, very distinct and effective. Good 

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