FIVE BEAUTIFUL 



New and Rare Ferns. 



THE GI.ORY^ FERN. 



Adiantuin Farleyeiise Gloriosa. 



(Ruhm von MordrechtJ 



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 cullivation 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 advan- 

 tage, which will assure for it widespread popularity. Good 

 plants in 4-inch pots, $1.00 each. 



RARE FER:K

 duces no spores will always be scarce. It is a strong 

 grower, and makes handsome specimens for the exhib- 

 ition table. The fronds are large, with the pinnx 

 deeply dentated and undulated on the edges and 

 crested tips. 50 cts. each.

The New Crested Holly Fern. 



(Cyrtomium Rochfordianum.) 



Next to the Boston Ferns, the Holly Fern is the most satisfactory 

 for apartment use, and we believe that this new variety will quickly 

 6nd 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 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, 25 cts. each; 

 specimen plants in 6-inch pots, $1.50 each. 



Neplirolepis Exaltata 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 grown continuously, requiring, in 

 the case of this variety, the facilities of a conservatory or greenhouse; 

 bat it is such a grand subject that it is worthy of special care. Good 

 plsnts, 50 cts. each. 



Polypodiuxn Glaucum 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.
