The Boston Fern 



TThie Best 



FERNS 



For House Culture 



THE BOSTON 



Nephrolepis Bostoniensis 

 This is one of the old standbys. and still 

 one of the best. The beautiful fronds grow 

 two to three feet long and droop over in the 

 most delightful way. Its long, graceful 

 drooping fronds often attain a length of five 

 or six feet in a single year, while its foliage 

 is clean and healthy, not subject to the at- 

 tacks of scale, mealy bugs and other insects. 

 Fine young plants 10c. , 1 5c. and 25c. each, 

 postpaid. Larger Plants SOc. and $1.00 to 

 $1.50 each, by express, not prepaid. 



Whitmanii Fern 



THE OSTRICH PLUME FERN 



(Nephrolepis Piersonii) 

 A strong, vigorous grower, resembling the Boston Fern some- 

 what, but the fronds are much heavier and more feathery, and arch 

 over in a most graceful manner, showing two shades of green and pro- 

 ducing a lovely mossy effect, which adds greatly to its beauty. Fine 

 young plants lOc, 15c. and 25c. each, postpaid. Larger plants 50c., 

 $1.00 to $1.50 each, by Express, not prepaid. 



"WHITMANH" 



The .New Crested Fern 



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 fresh fronds of light green that contrast 

 exquisitely vdth the deep green of the older fronds. It is somewhat 

 like Barrowsii, but decidedly more fluffy, more delicate and beautiful. 

 Fine \oung plants 15c., 25c. and 35c. each, postpaid. Larger plants 

 75c., SI. 00, $1.50 to $2.00, each, by Express, not prepaid. 



NEWPORT PARLOR FERN 



(Nephrolepis Scottii) 



Resembles the Boston Fern in some respects, but grows more 

 erect, has shorter, narrower fronds and makes three times as many 

 of them; has taken gold and silver medals at many great shows 

 wherever exhibited. Thrives nicely in parlor or living room, requires 

 very little attention, and is one of the grandest plants for the house 

 or conservatory it is possible to have and one of the handsomest dec- 

 orative varieties ever introduced in all stages of its growth and de- 

 velopment. Fine young plants lOc, !5c. to 25c. each, postpaid. 

 Larger plants SOc, $1.00 to $1.50 each, by Express, not prepaid.
