DEEEE'S MID-SUMMEE CATALO&UE

 also one of the hardiest Maiden-hair Ferns for house culture. 

 Fine plants, 25 cts. and 50 els. each. 



Adiantum Farleyense. The finest of all the Maiden- 

 hairs, but requires the moist atmosphere of the greenhouse 

 to succeed. 25 cts., 50 cts., and ;$l.oo each.

 rich, dark green, glossy foliage, forming a handsome spec-

Microlepia iiirta cristata. 



cts. and 25 cts. each. 



Neplirolepis Whitmani [Improved Ostrich Flume Fern). 

 This is a "sport" from theOstrich Plume Fern, in which the' 

 plumy peculiarity of the original is even more distinctly devel- 

 oped, the side pinnae being again subdivided and standing at 

 right angles to the midrid, making both sides of the frond 

 equally beautiful. Specimen plants in 6-inch pots, 75 cts. each. 



Nephrolepis Scotti [Diuarf Boston Fern). Asa decora- 

 tive house plant this gives entire satisfaction. In a general 

 way it may be described as a condensed Boston Fern, the 

 whole plant being dwarfer and more compact. The fronds 

 are shorter and narrower, gracefully recurving, and which 

 even in a small plant makes a finished specimen. Specimen 

 plants in 6-inch pots, 50 cts. and 75 cts. each. 



Nephrolepis Scliolzeli ( The Flumed Scott or Dwarf Bos- 

 ton Fern). In this new form, a sport from Scotti, we have 

 all the desirable features of the parent, with plumy fronds 

 similar to the Ostrich Plume Fern. Its leaves are held erect 

 with a graceful arch, forming a plumy globe, which is as 

 pretty in a small plant as it is in a specimen plant of largest 

 size. A splendid variety for table decoration. Young plants, 

 50 cts. each; JS-OO per doz.; 4-inch pots, ;?l.00each; 6-inch 

 pots, iS2.oo each. 



Neplirolepis exaltata Bostoniensis. The celebrated 

 Boston Fern. Specimen plants, 50 cts. and 75 cts. each. 



Pteris Wilsoni. A beautiful crested variety and one of the 



most serviceable house Ferns in our collection. 15 cts. and 

 25 cts. each. 



Pteris Victorise [Silver Variegated Fern). A lovely sort, 

 with a silvery variegation through the centre of each leaf. 25 

 cts. and 50 cts. each. 



Pteris Chiidsii. The most beautiful of all the Pteris, and 

 as it can only be propagated by division, will always be 

 scarce. It is a strong grower, and makes handsome speci- 

 mens for the exhibition table. The fronds are large, with 

 the pinnae deeply dentated and undulated on the edges and 

 crested tips. $1.00 each. 



Ferns in variety suitable for filling Fern Dishes, etc., etc. 2^- 

 inch pots, 10 cts. each; ^l.oo per doz.; 56. 00 per 1 00.

FionS (Rubber Plant).

 for home decoration. Its thick, leathery leaves enables it to 

 stand excessive heat and dryness. 4-inch pots, 10 inches high, 

 50 cts. each ; 6-inch pots, 24 inches high, 75 cts. each. 



Pandurata [The Majestic Rubber Plant). A truly majes- 

 tic plant. Its gigantic leaves are irregular in outline, of a rich 

 deep green with creamy-white veins and of remarkable sub- 

 stance, enabling the plant to flourish under the most unfavor- 

 able conditions. One of the finest foliage plants of recent 

 years. Good specimens, 24 inches high, ^3.00 each. 



Repens. A trailing or creeping variety, with small foliage ; 

 useful for baskets, covering greenhouse walls, etc., 15 cts.
