HOUSE FERNS. 



"R OSTON" FERN. 



Nephrolepis 

 Bostoniensis. 



One of the most useful and ornamental of the " Sword 

 Ferns." It is now grown by the thousand for the 

 market in all the large cities, and is steadily increas- 

 ing in popularity. In well-grown specimens the fronds 

 attain a length of 6 or 7 feet, like plumes arching over 

 in every direction, in a most graceful manner. This 

 beautiful Fern is excellent for outside planting in 

 shady borders. It is a very fine plant for hanging 

 pots or baskets on the piazza in summer and conserv- 

 atory or window in winter. (See cut.) 



Price, plants from 7 and 8 inch pots, SI. 50 each; 6- 

 lnch pots, $1.00 each ; 5-inch pots, 60c. each, S6.00 per 

 doz. ; 4-inch pots, 35c. each, $4.00 per doz. ; 3-inch pots, 

 20c. each, $2.00 per doz. 



Compact Sword Fern. Neph a i a s l°. rdata 



A fitting companion for the above ; dwarfer and more 

 erect in growth, a much darker shade of green, and 

 very gracefully arched. For decoration in front of 

 taller plants it is admirable. As a house plant it is very 

 desirable. 



Price, large specimens in pans, $2.00 each; 1st 

 size plants, SI. 00 each, $9.00 per doz.; 2d size, 60c.

Our collection contains the choicest, including the 

 " Maiden hair'' and best basket and vase sorts. They 

 are of the easiest culture, and nothing beautifies a 

 home more than Ferns. Price, 1st size. 25c. each, $2.50 

 per doz. ; 2d size. 15c. each. $1.50 per doz. 

 Globe Fern. (Davallia Bullata.) We offer this pre- 

 pared in globe shape ready for hanging up. Price,

 tifully crested at the tops into curling masses of rich 

 green, feathery foliage, the weight of which bends the 

 fronds down so as to conceal the pot, allowing a full 

 view of the centre of the plant.

 $9.00 per doz. ; 3d size, 60c each, $6.00 per doz.
