Cibotium Schiedei. 



This is undoubtedly the finest of all the Tree Ferns for use in 

 decorative purposes, and though appearing very .soft, is in fact 

 very hardy, as has been demonstrated by the leading decorators, 

 succeeding admirably as a house plant, which is not the case 

 with any other Tree Fern. It possesses a grace and delicate 

 appearance that is found in no other plant. It is a variety that is 

 always scarce and difficult to obtain. We have a fine lot, and 

 offer beautiful decorative plants of it. 6 inch pots, §1.50 each. 



Microlepia Hirta Cristata. 



We consider tliis one of the finest Ferns in cultivation to grow 

 into specimen plants, and while it is of such a delicate, graceful 

 appearance, that would lead one to think that it was useless as a 

 house-fern, it is, neveriheless, one of the best for this purpose, and 

 when well grown meets with as ready sale as the popular Boston 

 Fern. 2^ inch pots, 75 cents per doz ; $ 6.00 per 100.

Nephrolepis Cordata Compacta. 



In our estimation this variety is the finest of all the sword 

 ferns ; it is of free, strong growing, compact habit, attaining when 

 fully grown a height of about two feet. The fronds, which are of 

 a dark green color, are very rich, of upright growth, with just 

 sufficient arch in them to make them graceful.
