Tarrytown Pern. 



ni:fhboi.i:fis z:i.z:gantissima. — 



Tarrytown Pern. — This is a "sport" from 

 the Piersonii, in which, the plumy pecu- 

 liarity of the original form is even more 

 distinctly developed, the side pinnae being- 

 ag-ain subdivided and standing- at rig-ht 

 angles to the midrib, making- both sides of 

 the frond equally beautiful, -while at the 

 same time the plant is of much more com- 

 pact habit, grro-wing- only one-half as tall, 

 but -with fronds nearly t-wice as w^ide, 

 making- it a much more desirable plant for 

 all purposes. 25c., 50c., 75c. and $1.00; 

 extra larg-e specimens, $2.00, $3.00 and 

 $5.00. 



CYBTOMIUM BOCHPOBDIANUM (The 

 Crested Holly Pern). — -Its foliage is of a 

 rich deep glossy green color; the leaflets, 

 besides being- -wavy or undulated, are also 

 deeply cut or toothed, g-iving the plant a 

 graceful light appearance -which makes it 

 valuable for decorative use. 25c. and 50c. 



ADIANTUM PABIiPYZINSZ: GX.OBIOSA 



(The Glory Pern, or Ruhni von Mordrecht.) 



It closely resembles Adiantum Farleyense 

 and will make a splendid substitute for 

 that fancy variety. It will thrive under 

 the same condition as g-iven to the Nephro- 

 lepis and develops fronds of g-reat beauty 

 on longer stiffer stems than Farleyense. 

 Do not fail to g^ive it a trial. 50c. and 

 $1.00 each. 



NEPHROLEPIS SUPERBISSIMA (The 

 Pluffy Ruffles Pern). — -Foliagre dark green, 

 irreg-ular shaped fronds, heavily im- 

 bricated, the pinnae over-lapping-; very 

 sturdy in its habit. 25c., 50c. and $1.00. 



NEFHROI.EFIS WHITBOI.DII. — 

 A scarce variety quite distinct from other 

 Nephrolepis, leaves grow erect, slig-htly 

 recurving near the ends; leaves very broad, 

 sometimes 7 to 8 inches across in fully 

 developed fronds, 25c., 50c. and $1.00 up. 



NEPHROLEPIS ROBUST A.— As the 



name indicates, a robust growing- variety 

 of the Pierson type. The introducer claims 

 that it never reverts to the Boston type, 

 producing- only character leaves. A nov- 

 elty of merit. 25c., 50c. and $1.00 each. 



Boston Pern. 



BOSTON PERNS.— A large stock in vari- 

 ous sizes. 15c., 25c., 35c., 50c. and $1.00, 

 Extra large, $1.50 and $2.00. 



NEPHROLEPIS WHITMANII. — Phila- 

 delphia Lace Pern.— The most graceful of 

 all the Nephrolepis; very choice. 25c., 

 50c.. 75c. and $1.50 each. 



NEPHROLEPIS PIERSONII. — Ostrich 

 Plume Pern. — 25c., 50c., 75c., $1.00 and 

 $1.50 each.
