DREER’S FINE 
Varieties of 
Special Merit 
FERNS 
CRYTOMIUM FALCATUM ROCHFORDIANUM 
Adiantum Farleyense Gloriosa. 
The Glory Fern or Ruhm yon Mordrecht. 
For the grower of Ferns for cutting this new Maiden Hair will 
undoubtedly prove a most important addition ; it closely resembles 
Adiantum Farleyense and will make a splendid: substitute for that 
faney variety and it ean be produced at much less cost, as it will 
thrive under conditions in whieh Adiantum Farleyense could not 
exist. 
At our Riverview Nursery we have given it a very fair trial for 
this purpose during the past winter. A block of these plants were 
planted on a bench in a house devoted to the ordinary Boston Fern 
and received the ordinary treatment and température given to the 
Nephrolepis, and under this treatment they developed not only 
fronds of great beauty on longer, stiffer stems than Farleyense 
produces, but also many more fronds than would be developed by 
that variety in the same length of time under the most favorable 
condition. 
Anyone who successfully grows the ordinary varieties of Adian- 
tum such as Cuneatum, Croweanum and Hybridum, can grow it 
under precisely the same conditions given to these sorts. 
We are now booking orders for delivery early in May for2%-inch 
pot plants at $2.00 per dozen; $15.00 per 100.

hair to grow for cutting, but it is also the best variety to 
recommend to the retail buyers for house culture, it 
standing the dry atmosphere of the room better than 
any variety we have yet tried. Strong 38-inch pots, 
$2.00 per dozen; $15.00 per 100; $140.00 per 1000.
