SENSATIONAL NEW EERN 



At the great exhibit made at the recent convention of the Society 

 of American Florists, at Washington, D. C.,this magnificent Fern 

 was the center of attraction. In comparison with other varieties 

 tnere shown it easily out- ranked them. We believe it to be an 

 improvement over all the other forms o' the feathery fronded 

 varieties. The fronds are more dense, more finely pinnate and 

 more massive and delicate. It thrives in the same temperature 

 and under the same conditions as the old reliable Bof^Um Fern. 

 Price, strong young plants 25 cts. eac-h; 5 for SI. 00. 

 ^Itrong handsome 4-inch pot plants 50 cts. each, postpaid.
