 with creamy-white veins and of remarkable substance,

 tions of European specialists. We list but a few below.

 each. 



Neplirolepis Barrowsi {^Improved OstHch Plume Fern). 

 This beautiful Fern possesses the same vigorous growth which 

 is characteristic of the Boston Fern, with its graceful fronds, but 

 with each pinnte or leaflet subdivided so as to form a -perfect 

 miniature frond. The fronds grow broad and heavy, measur- 

 ing when fully developed at least 6 inches across. It is im- 

 possible in any description to convey even a slight idea of 

 the grace and plume-like beauty of this Fern. 3 -inch pots, 

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



NEPHROLEPIS SCO'lTII 



Nephrolepis Elegantissima. This is a " sport" from the 

 Ostrich Plume Fern, in which the plumy peculiarity of the 

 original is even more distinctly developed, the side pinnsej 

 being again subdivided and standing at right angles to the; 

 midrib, making both sides of the frond equally beautiful. 

 The plant is of more compact habit, with fronds nearly twice 

 as wide, making it a much more desirable plant for all pur- 

 poses.

Nephrolepis Whitman!. An improvement on iV. Eh'gant- 

 issiina, with still more gracefully divided pinnre, giving the 

 whole plant an airy lace-like appearance not found in any other 

 variety. 3-inch pots, 50 cts each. 



Nephrolepis Scotti {Dwarf Boston Fern). 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 froi.ds are shorter and nar- 

 rower, gracefully recurving, and which even in a small speci- 

 men makes a finished plant with which no other variety can 

 compare. 3-inch pots, 15 cts.; 4-inch pots, 25 cts.; 6-inch 

 pots, 7^ cts. each.
