ONE OF THE BEST AI^D MOST POPULAR 

 DECORATIVE PLAIsTTS NOTV KWOTVN. . . 



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

 if this were possible, this magnificent Fern would be our choice. For 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 sho^-n 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 incom- 

 plete without it.

Lack of space prevents us from showing an illustration and giving 

 an extended description of this grand variety. As indicated by the 

 name, it is a compact, erect growing plant with strong, firm fronds, 

 color very deep shining green, as if varnished; very hard and firm, 

 and in consequence not easily injured. Attains a height of two feet 

 and arches beautifully. It will stand a lower temperature than other 

 ^•arieties, and even when quite small makes handsome specimens. 

 Holds the foliage better than any other variety. All Ferns like a 

 shaded situation.
