DREBR'S FINE FERNS. 



THE BOSTON FERN AND ITS VARIETIES. 



We offer below ihe Boston Fern and the best and most distinct varieties of it, all are highly desirable and among the most 

 popular decorative house plants. The illustration above shows as clearly as a photo reproduction can show the general character- 

 istics of the four leading Dewer kinds. 



Nephrolepis Amerpohli. 



The Philadelphia Lace Fern. 



This variety of recent introduction has met with much favor 

 during the past season and especially so as a cut frond for which pur- 

 pose it is particularly well suited on account of the pinnae being so 

 finely divided, reminding one of a fine piece of lace. The fronds are 

 deep and broad which gives them a cushion-like appearance forming 

 beautiful specimen plants.

Nephrolepis Scottii (The Scott Fem). 



The Scott Fern still holds its place as one of the most important of 

 the Nephrolepis, the public appreciates well grown plants of it, and the 

 ease and quickness with which saleable plants can be produced and 

 this at a saving of time as well as of room compared with all other 

 varieties, has also made it a favorite with the grower.

Nephrolepis Superbissima. 



The Latest and Most Distinct of the New Boston Ferns. 



This new fern is a unique and distinct novelty as different from any 

 of the other crested forms, as they are distinct from the ordinary Bos- 

 ton Fern, it is really in a class by itself. The fronds are very heavily- 

 imbricated, the pinnae overlapping, making the fronds very dense and 

 compact. In color also it is different, being of a richer, darker green. 

 The plant is very sturdy in its habit, the fronds never breaking down. 

 It makes a much more dwarf and compact growth, the fronds being 

 very dense, firm and rigid, it will stand more knocking around than 

 any other fern of this type.

Nephrolepis Todeaoides. 



Todea or Filmy Fern-like Nephrolepis. 



This is an .English introduction that has received a first class 

 certificate both from the Royal Horticultural Society and from the 

 Royal Botanic Society of London, and is likely to become a most 

 important commercial variety. While in a general way it reminds 

 one of an exceptionally well grown plant of N. Klegantissima it is 

 entirely distinct from this and all others, in its strong yet compact 

 growth and its bold heavy foliage which is distinctly tripinnate or 

 three times divided. 



2%-inch pots, $1.50 per doz. : $90.00 per 100.

Nephrolepis Whitmani. 



The Improved Ostrich Plume Fern. 



Unquestionably the most valuable of thistype superseding Piersoni, 

 Barrowsi and Elegantissima all of which we have now discarded in 

 favor of this variety. Not only is the pinnae on the individual fronds 

 more finely divided but the fronds are denser, broader and more 

 graceful and the habit of the plant is more perfect.
