Tarrytown Fern. 



Nephrolepsis Elegantissima. (Tarry- 

 town Fern.) — This is a "sport" from the 

 preceding, in which the plamy peculiarity 

 of the original form is even more dis- 

 tinctly developed, the side pinnae being 

 again subdivided and standing at right 

 angles to the midrib, making both sides 

 of the frond equally beautiful, while at 

 the same time the plant is of much more 

 compact habit, growing only one-half as 

 tall, but with fronds nearly twice as 

 wide, making it a much more desirable 

 plant for all purposes. 25c. 50c., 75c. and 

 $1.00; extra large specimens $2.00, $3.00 

 and $5.00.

 pact Sword Fern, adaptable for hanging 



Adiantum Cuneatum.

Resurrection Plant. (Selaginelia.) — 

 Two varieties from Mexico. Very pecu- 

 liar; when dry it can be laid away for 

 several months, but at any time when 

 placed in a dish of water, it will revive, 

 open out, and look like a beautiful fern. 

 If planted in a moist, shady place, it will 

 grow nicely. 25c. each. 



CLIMBERS. 



Ampelopsis Veitchii — Boston or Japan- 

 ese Ivy. A most satisfactory and beauti- 

 ful climber; it is entirely hardy and can 

 adapt itself to any locality or exposure; 

 clings fast to stone, brick or wooden 

 walls, and is extensively used on resi- 



Plant Pearl or Cattail, German and Hungarian Millet.
