NEPHROLEPIS SCHOLZELI 



ADIANTUM CROWEANUM 



FINE FERNS. Varieties of Special Merit 



NEPHROLEPIS SCHOLZELI. 



The Crested Scottii. 



Will be introduced by us June 1st. Orders booked now and 

 filled in strict rotation. 



The ideal crested Fern, holding the same position to all other 

 crested varieties that Scottii holds to the old Boston. It is a sport 

 from Scottii, possessing all the merits of that most popular variety, 

 but with the pinnae sub-divided, giving it a neat crested appearance. 

 The fronds, like in Scottii, stand erect, with a graceful arch forming 

 a plant of ideal shape, and they never break down, giving the plant a 

 ragged appearance as is so often the case with all other crested forms ; 

 furthermore, the loose, elegant arrangement of the fronds, allowing a 

 free circulation of air through the foliage, prevents the centre of even 

 the largest specimen from becoming defective or yellow, which is one 

 of the weak points o' all of its predecessors. 



We are fully aware of the fact that the general opinion is that there 

 have been too many varieties of crested Nephrolepis, but we are posi- 

 tive that you will agree with us that there is not only ample room but 

 a need for this variety. Its merits are so apparent that they appeal at 

 first sight, and continue to grow on closer acquaintance ; in fact, 

 there is no room for comparison with its forerunners. It makes a 

 good, salable plant in any size, from a 3-inch pot to the largest speci- 

 men, and is just as easy to grow as Scottii, and will prove profitable 

 to the grower as well as to the retailer, and give full satisfaction to 

 your customers for house decorations.
