THE GLORY FERN ( Adiantum Farleyense Gloriosa) 



DREER'S FINE FERNS 



VARIETIES OF SPECIAL MERIT 



Adiantum Croweanum. 



We are the sole distributers of Mr. Crowe's stock of 

 this valuable fern. 



This for many years has been the standard variety for general 

 commercial work. We have a nice lot of 3-inch pots. $2.00 per 

 doz.; $15.00 per 100; $140.00 per 1000. 



Adiantum Hybridum. 



Preferred by some growers to A. Croweanum. A large thrifty 

 stock of 2'/i-inch pots. 85 cts. per doz.: $6.00 per 100; $50.00 per 1000. 

 4-inch pots, $1.50 per doz., $12.00 per 100. 



Adiantum Farleyense Qloriosa. 

 The Qlory Fern or Ruhm von Mordrecht. 



This variety has proven a most valuable addition for the grower 

 of choice fronds for cutting purposes. It closely resembles Adian- 

 tum Farleyense and will make a splendid substitute for that fancy 

 variety and it can be produced at much less cost, as it will thrive 

 under conditions in which Adiantum Farleyense could not exist. 



Anyone who successfully grows the ordinary varieties of Adian- 

 tum such as Cuneatum, Croweanum and Hybridum, can grow it 

 under precisely the same conditions given to these sorts. 



3-inch pots, $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100.

Cyrtomium Rochfordianum. 



The Crested Holly Fern. 



A most important addition to our list of Ferns. Its foliage is of a 

 rich, deep, glossy green color, the pinnje or leaflets besides being 

 wavy or undulated are also deeply cut or toothed, giving the plant 

 a graceful light appearance, which makes it valuable not only as a 

 dish Fern but for decorative work and apartment use. 



2'/4-inch pots, ready now $3.00 per 100; $25.00 per 1000 



4 ' Oct. 1 $2.00 per doz.; $15.00 per 100 



Cibotium Schiedei. 



It seems almost impossible to put up a first-class decoration 

 without including some of this beautiful variety. 



We offer a splendid stock of 6 -inch pots, $1.50 each; 8-inch pots, 

 12.50 each; 10-inch tubs, $3.50 to $5.00 each. 



Nephrolepis John Wanamaker. 



A "sport" from Nephrolepis Scholzelii, with longer, narrower, 

 gracefully drooping fronds. It is not so compact in growth as 

 Scholzelii, and, therefore, does not decay in the center, and is a 

 durable house fern. It is a rapid grower, making an abundance of 

 fronds, and is quite distinct from any other Nephrolepis. 



Strong Plants from I'A Inch pots. 



$3.00 per dozen, $20.00 per 100, $150.00 per 1000. 



The following ready for delivery October 1st. 



4 inch pots, $50.00 per 100; 6 inch pots, $1.00 each. 

 8 inch pots, $2.00 each; Specimens in tubs, $5.00 each.

Pteris Childsi. 



This beautiful variety is to Pteris what Farleyense is to Adian- 

 tums, and like that variety produces no spore, so that propagation 

 is by the rather slow method of division, which will keep it a rare 

 variety. The plant is of strong growth, attaining a height of about 

 20 inches; fronds large, pinnae deeply dentated and undulated, tips 

 crested. Makes a beautiful specimen for exhibition. 



Fine plants, 4-inch pots, 50 cts. each. 



Polypodium 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 glaueus-blue color, 

 with the edges of the pinnae wavy and crispate, giving the plant a 

 graceful, unique appearance. Good 5-inch pots, 75 cts. each. 



Polypodium Mandaianum. 



This beautiful Fern originated as a seedling of P. Aiireum and is 

 similar in habit of growth to its parent, producing on well-grown 

 plants fronds from 2 to 3 feet long, on which all of the pinna is 

 beautifully fringed or laciniated; entirely distinct from all other 

 varieties. It makes a handsome specimen grown either in a pot or 

 a hanging-basket.
