Neplirolepis Scottii. 



The New Boston Fern That Has Come to Stay. 



In this new variety, which is now offered for the first time, we 

 believe we are presenting a Fern which will finally take the place 

 of the Boston Fern. This is a strong statement, but one which 

 we believe will be fully realized. This new variety is identical 

 with the Boston F'ern, e.xcept that it is not so large in the frond, 

 and of more compact growth ; to sum up its merits briefly, it 

 can, under the most ordinary treatment, be grown into an ideal 

 specimen of compact shape, which in the ordinary Boston Fein 

 could only be accomplished with the most careful culture, and by 

 giving the plants a large amount of room. Its natural, compact 

 habit admits of almost double the number of plants to be grown 

 in the same space as the regular Boston Fern. Our illustration, 

 reproduced from a photograph, gives a correctidea of the difference 

 between the two varieties in a 5 -inch pot size. We recommend 

 this for extensive planting, as we are certain that you will not 

 meet with the same disappointment as in some of the new varieties 

 introduced within the last few years, but that you will find this 

 a profitable investment, and a plant that will appeal to your 

 customers on account of its compact, symmetrical and graceful 

 form.
