ADIANTUM CROWEANUM 



DREER'S FINE FERNS. 



VARIETIES OF SPECIAL MERIT. 



Adiantum Croxv^eannm. 



The New Maiden-hair for Catting. 



Probably no fern has been so well and so favorably known to 

 the cut-flower trade so long before its introduction as this, the 

 entire stock of which, until quite recently, has been in the hands 

 of the originator who has been marketing the fronds in the 

 principal cut flower centres, where it has found ready sales in 

 preference to and at higher prices than other forms of Maiden- 

 hair. 



Its principal points of merit are its strong vigorous growth, 

 very long stems and remarkable keeping qualities. 



We offer strong 3-inch pot plants, ^4.50 per dozen; $35.00 

 per 100 ; $250.00 per 1 000. 



Large clumps, suitable for 8 to 10 inch pots, 75 cents each ; 

 $70.00 per 100.

Cibotiniu Schiedei. 



This is undoubtedly the finest of all Tree Ferns in use for 

 decorative purposes, and, though appearing very soft, is in fact 

 very hardy, as has been demonstrated by the leading decorators 

 throughout the country, succeeding admirably as a house plant, 

 which is not the case with any other Tree Fern. It possesses a 

 graceful and delicate appearance that is found in no other plant. 

 It is a variety that is always scarce and difficult to obtain.

Nephrolepis Scottii. 



The New Boston Fern That Has Come to Stay. 



In this new variety, we believe we are presenting a Fern 

 which will finally take the place of the Boston Fern. This is a 

 strong statement, but one which we believe will be fully realized. 

 To sum up its merits briefly, it can, under the most ordinary 

 treatment, be grown into an ideal specimen of compact shape, 

 which in the ordinary Boston Fern could only be accomplished 

 with the most careful culture, and by giving the plants a large 

 amount of room. Its natural, compact habit admits of almost 

 double the number of plants to be grown in the same space as 

 the regular Boston Fern. We recommend this for extensive 

 planting, as we are certain that you will not meet with the 

 same disappointment as in some of the new varieties introduced 

 within the last few years, but that you will find this a profitable 

 investment, and a plant that will appeal to your customers on 

 account of its compact, symmetrical and graceful form.
