FERNS 



rare and beautilul 



NephTOlepis Piersonii— (The Ostrich Plume Fern.) — The 

 illustration given on this page conveys but a slight idea of 

 the grace and beauty of the feathery, plume-like foliage of 

 this magnificent Fern. The name Ostrich Plume is certainly 

 happily selected. To fully appreciate the beauty and value 

 of the Piersonii one must see it growing. The fronds grow 

 broad and heavy and measure at least six inches across when 

 fully developed, increasing in rare beauty as they grow. It is 

 wonderfully valuable for its beauty and for the ease of culture, hardiness and general adaptability to conditions. 

 It has taken gold medals wherever shown, and many good judges pronounce it the greatest Fern that has ever 

 been produced. I can unhesitatingly recommend the Piersonii Fern to every one of my customers, for I know 

 they will praise it as highly as I do when they have seen it develop in all its wondrous beauty. I sold a large 

 number last year and every purchaser from whom I have heard has no other terms than those of the highest 

 commendation for this rarely beautiful Fern. Let me send you one. I have made the price extremely low 

 and my stock is fine. 



Fine, young plants 15c. to 25c. each, postpaid. 

 Larger plants, by express, 75c, $1.00, $1.50, $2.00 each. 



NephTOlepis Exaltata Bostoniensis — (Boston Fern.) — Ferns may come and Ferns may go, but the Boston 

 Fern promises to go on forever. As a matter of fact, its great popularity increases with every passing 

 year. It has stood the test of time gloriously, which is the very best evidence that it possesses superlative 

 merit. The illustration gives only a fair idea of the beauty and strength of this wonderfully popular 

 Fern. It differs from the ordinary Sword Fern in that it has much longer fronds, which not infrequently 

 attain the marvelous length of six feet. These arch anddroop with exceeding grace, on account of which 

 it is often spoken of as the Fountain Fern. This drooping habit makes it an excellent plant to grow as 

 a single specimen on a table or pedestal. My stock is extra choice and I am sure I can please the most 

 exacting patron. 



Fine, young plants 15c. to 25c. each, postpaid. 

 Larger plants, by express, 50c, 75c, $1.00, $1.50 each.
