FINE FERNS Varieties of Special Herit 



Nephrolepis Scholzeli (Crested Scott Fern). 



This variety was oHered by us for the first time last June, and has 

 met with full favor and has made a permanent place for itself. It 

 is the ideal crested Fern, holding the same position to all other 

 crested varieties that Scottii holds to the old Boston. It is a sport 

 from Scottii, possessing all the merits of that most popular variety, 

 but with the pinnae sub-divided, giving it a neat crested appearance. 

 The fronds, like in Scottii, stand erect, with a graceful arch forming 

 a plant of ideal shape, and they never break down, giving the plant a 

 ragged appearance as is so often the case with all other crested forms ; 

 furthermore, the loose, elegant arrangement of the fronds, allowing a 

 free circulation of air, prevents the centre of even the largest speci- 

 men from becoming defective or yellow, which is one of the weak 

 points of all of its predecessors.

 better than any variety we have yet tried.

Pteris Childsi. 



This beautiful variety is to Pteris what Farleyense is to Adiantums, 

 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. We offer a limited lot in 4-inch 

 pots, 75 cents each. 



Ferns in Flats. 



These flats contain about two hundred plants each, only one variety 

 being in a flat and we cannot supply less than a full flat of any one sort.
