The Boston Fern. 



THE BOSTON FERN 



Nephrolepis Bostoniensis 

 This is one of the old standbys, and still one 

 of the best. The beautifid fronds grow two to 

 three feet long and droop over in the most de- 

 lightful way. Its long, graceful drooping fronds 

 often attain a length of five or six feet in a sin- 

 gle vear, while its foliage is clean and healthy, 

 not "subject to the attacks of scale, mealy bugs 

 and other insects. Fine young plants 10c. , 

 15c. and 2Sc. each, postpaid. Larger Plants 

 50c. and $1.00 to $1.50 each, by express, not 

 prepaid. 



THE OSTRICH PLUME FERN 



(Nephrolepis Piersonii) 

 A strong, vigorous grower, resembling 

 Boston Fern somewhat, but the fronds are 

 much heavier and more feathery, 

 arch over in a most graceful manner, 

 showing two shades of green and pro 

 (hieing a lovely mossy effect, which 

 adds greatly to its beauty. Fin 

 young plants lOc, I5c. and 25c. 

 each, postpaid. Larger plants 50c. 

 $1.00 to $1.50 each, by Express, 

 not prepaid. 



NEWPORT 

 PARLOR FERN

 In some respects, but grows 

 more erect, has shorter 

 narrower fronds and makes 

 three times as many of 

 them. Thrives nicely in 

 parlor or living room, re- 

 quires very little atten- 

 tion. Fine young plants

Japanese Fern Ball. 



New Crested Fern. 



THE NEW CRESTED FERN 



(Whitmanii) 



We think this the most popular Fern. Rather 

 dwarf in growth, but graceful, very compact, 

 dense and feathery. Each frond or branch has 

 a double row of perfect little fronds set at right 

 angles to the mid-rib, and so thick they seem 

 almost crowded. It is a healthy, vigorous 

 grower, constantly unfolding fresl. fronds of 

 light green that contrast exquisitely with the 

 deep green of tlie older fronds. It is somewhat 

 like Barrowsii, but decidedly more fluffy, more 

 delicate and beautiful. Fine young plants ISc, 

 25c. and 35c. each, postpaid. Larger plants 7Sc., 

 $1.00, $1.50 to $2.00, each, by Express, not 

 prepaid.
