ONE OF THE BEST AND MOST POPULAR DECORATIVE PLANTS NOW KNOWN 



IX the great number of splendid decorative plants it is difficult to say that any one variety is really better than all 

 oihers, but if this were possible, this magnificent Fern would Ije our choice. F,6r hanging baskets or single specimens 

 in pots or boxes, it is superb. We know of no other plant that withstands ill treatment better, or thrives so splendidly 

 under good care. It does equally well in sun or shade outdoors in Summer, and presents an imposing appearance 

 . indoors during Winter. It is grown by the thousands for market in all the large cities and is steadily increasing in 

 ^■^ popularity. It forms an immense number of graceful, drooping fronds, varying in length from 2 to 5 feet, which 

 arch over like plumes in every direction, as shown in our illustration, and which are always of a fresh, healthy, and 

 beautiful green color. These fronds keep in perfect condition for years. We recommend this 'beautiful Fern most highly. 

 Your collection is incomplete without it.
