DREER'S FINE FERNS 



Varieties of Special Merit. General Collection offered on page 47. 



Adiantum Cuneatum "Monterey" 



We take pleasure in calling the attention of growers 

 of cut fern fronds to this new variety which w^e have 

 had under observation for some time and which we 

 believe will prove superior to and displace all varie- 

 ties of this type on account of its vigorous, rapid 

 growth and the exceptionally long-stemmed fronds 

 which it produces. Like the variety California, it 

 originated on the Pacific coast and is similar to it in 

 the formation of the individual pinnse, but longer in 

 the frond, a rich lively green in color and of excellent 

 keeping quality when cut. 

 We offer strong 2% -inch pots, $3.50 per doz.; $25.00 



per 100; .$225.0O per 1000. 500 or more supplied at the 



thousand rates. 



Adiantum Farleyense Gloriosum 



The Glory Fern 



This splendid Fern which so closely resembles Adi- 

 antum Farleyense in appearance and which does not 

 require the special skill and care in growing that is 

 necessary to produce good plants of A. Farleyense, 

 has quickly made a place for itself, not only on 

 account of the fact that it can be produced for little 

 over half that of growing Farleyense, but also because 

 either in a cut state or as plants used in decorative 

 work, it V7ill outlast the old variety ten to one, mak- 

 ing it an available subject where Farleyense can not 

 be used at all. 



"We are now booking orders for June delivery. Good 

 2% -inch pots, $12.00 per 100; $110.00 per 1000.

Seedling Plants of Polypodium Mandaianum 



For several years we have been growing seedlings 

 from spores which \ve succeeded in raising on a plant 

 of Mandaianum, these seedlings "while they do not 

 have- the fringed or lacinated pinn» of the type are 

 more or less curled and wavy on the edges and are 

 entirely distinct from Polypodium Aureum. 



Besides this graceful formation of the fronds, it 

 naturally makes a bushy, well-shaped plant, either in a 

 four or six-inch pot, or even in an eight, ten or twelve- 

 inch tub, meeting with a ready sale in all sizes. 



Being of rapid growth, it is a profitable plant to 

 grow. As a house plant it gives universal satisfac- 

 tion; in this it is unequaled by any other fern, not even 

 excepting the popular Holly Fern. 



2 14 -inch pots, $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100. 



Mixed Ferns for Dishes 



We have at all times a good supply of these,
