Varieties of Special Merit 



FROND OF ADIANTUM CHARLOTT.t;. 



Adiantum Charlottae. 



Our illustration gives a faint idea of the beauty and grace of 

 this new Maidenhair ; it is entirely distinct from all other varie- 

 ties, and even more graceful than A. gracillimiiiii, and possess- 

 ing the advantage of ha%'ing much stouter, stiffer stems, on ac- 

 count of which it forms more shapely plants, and increases its 

 value for cutting purposes. 



3-inch pots, Si. 50 per doz. ; gio.oo per 100. 



Adiantum Candatmii and Adiantum 

 Dolabriforme. 



Two pretty species especially adapted for baskets. They are 

 of a peculiar creeping or drooping habit, with long fronds, at the 

 ends of which young plants are produced. 



3-inch pots, $1.00 per doz.; $8.00 per 100. 



Adiantum Bensoniana. 



A most beautiful Maidenhair, with large fronds and deep green 



pinnae, which, while closely overlapping, is not so dense as to 



make the frond appear crowded. It makes a handsome specimen 



plant, and is a distinct addition to our long list of Adiantums. 



4-inch pots, 50 cts. each. 



Adiantum Rhodophyllum. 



This variety is always scarce, and while it does not compare 

 with Farleyense in a large specimen, in a small plant it resem- 

 bles it very much, and has the advantage of succeeding under 

 ordinary cultivation. 



4-inch pots, $1.50 per dozen ; $12.00 per 100. 



Alsophila Australia. 



We have again this season a fine supply of this useful, quick- 

 growing Australian Tree Fern, and offer strong 



214^ -inch pots, Si.oo per dozen; $8. 00 per 100.

Asplenium Nidus Avis 

 Multilob atum. 



A distinct new variety of the Bird's Nest Fern, with which it 

 is identical in every way, except that the edges of the fronds are 

 deeply lobed or toothed in irregular segments ; a variety that 

 is worthy of a place in every collection. , 



4-inch pots, $1.00 each. 



Cibotium Schiedei. ( See cut next page. ) 



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

 orative 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. We 

 have succeeded in growing a fine lot of this variety, and offer 

 beautiful decorative plants of it. 



5-inch pots, §1.00 each.

Nephrolepis "Wittboldii. 



We offer strong plants of this new Nephrolepis in 4-inch pots, 

 25 cts. each ; $2.50 per doz. 



Microlepia Hirta Cristata. 



W^e consider this one of the finest Ferns in cultivation to grow 

 into specimen plants, and while it is of such a delicate, graceful 

 appearance that would lead one to think that it was useless as a 

 house fern, it is nevertheless one of the best for this purpose, 

 and when well grown meets with as ready sale as the popular 

 Boston Fern. It is seldom that we are in a position to offer it in 

 quantity ; this season our stock is exceptionally large, which 

 enables us to offer it at the following low prices : 



2^-inch pots, 75 cts. per dozen ; ^6.00 per 100.

 plants in 8-inch pans, in the following varieties :
