Cyrtomium Rochfordianum Compactum (Crested Holly 
Fern). Next to the Boston Ferns, the Holly Fern is the most 
satisfactory for apartment use; and this new variety has made 
a place for itself in the front rank as a decorative plant. Its 
foliage is of rich, glossy dark green; the pinnae or leaflets, 
beside being wavy or undulated on the edges, are also deeply 
cut or toothed, giving the plant a graceful and light appearance.

with long graceful fronds. 4-inch pots, 50 cts.; 6-inch pots, 
$1.50 each; 8-inch pots, $3.00 each. 
Polypodium Mandaianum. This variety differs from the 
type by the pinnae being curled and twisted on the edges instead 
of laciniated; it naturally makes a bushy graceful specimen and 
on account of its peculiar glaucous blue fronds and its hardiness 
as a house plant in which it is not surpassed by any other makes 
it especially valuable for decorative purposes. 6-inch pots, $2.00 
each. 
Pteris Alexandrae. A pretty crested variety, the bright green 
fronds being nicely variegated with silvery white. ¢-inch 
pots, 15 cts. each; 4-inch pots, 50 cts. each.
