We have one greenhouse devoted spe- 

 cially to the growing of Ferns, and have

 dred, especially Maiden Hair and Boston 

 Ferns. 



Alsophila Austral is. (Australian Tree 

 Fern.) — 25, 50 and 75 cents. Extra speci- 

 mens, $2.00 and $3.00.

 sizes; 25, 35 and 50 cents and $1.00. Ex- 

 tra large, $1.50 and $2.00. 



Microlepia Hirta Crestata — A most 

 popular Fern. 25, 50 and 75 cents. 



Nephrolepsis Piersonii — (Ostrich 

 Plume Fern).— 25c, 50c, 75c, $1.00 and 

 $1.50 each. 



Adiantum Cuneatum Fern. 



Nephrolepsis Elegantissima. (Tarry- 

 town Fern). — This is a "sport" from the 

 preceding, in which the plumy peculiarity 

 of the original form is even more dis- 

 tinctly developed, the side pinnae being 

 again subdivided and standing at right 

 angles to the midrib, making both sides 

 of the frond equally beautiful, while at 

 the same time the plant is of much more 

 compact habit, growing only one-half as 

 tall, but with fronds nearly twice as wide, 

 making it a much more desirable plant 

 for all purposes. 50c, 75c, and $1.00: 

 extra large specimens $2.00, $3.00 and 

 $5.00. 



Nephrolepsis Cordata Compacta. — Com- 

 pact Sword Fern, adaptable for hanging 

 baskets. 25 and 50 cents. Extra large, 

 $1.00 and $1.50. 



Nephrolepsis Davoliodes Furcans. 

 (Fish Tail Fern.)— 25c, 50c, 75c, $1.00, 

 $1.50 and $2.50. 



Nephrolepsis Scotti. (New Dwarf, 

 Compact Boston Fern.) — This is a sport 

 from the well-known Boston Fern, and is 

 a novelty that will commend itself to the 

 trade. It is quite distinct from the Bos- 

 ton Fern, the fronds being shorter and 

 narrower, and they are much more freely 

 produced, making a very compact, fin-
