THE NEW DWARF BOSTON FERN. NEl'HROI KPIS SCOTTII 



Nephrolepis Scottii. 



The New Boston Fern That Has Come 

 to Stay. 



In this new variety, we believe we have a 

 Fern which will finally take the place of the 

 Boston Fern. This is a strong statement, but 

 one which we are certain will be fully realized. 

 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 or- 

 dinary Boston Fern 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. We recommend 

 this for extensive planting, as we are certain 

 that you will not meet with the same disap- 

 pointment as in some of the new varieties in- 

 troduced 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 grace- 

 ful form. 



Adiantum Bensoniana. 



A most beautiful Maidenhair, with large fronds and deep green 

 pinnx, which, while closely overlapping, is not so dense as to 

 make the frond appear crowded. It makes a handsome specimen 

 plant. 3-inch pots, 25 cts. each ; $2.50 per dozen. 



Adiantum Croweanum. 



The New Maiden-hair for Cutting. 



Probably no fern is so well and so favorably known in cut 

 flower centres, where it finds ready sales in preference to and at 

 higher prices than other forms of Maidenhair. 



Its principal points of merit are its strong vigorous growth, 

 very long stems and remarkable keeping qualities. 



We offer strong 3-inch pot plants, $2. 50 per dozen ; §15.00 

 per 100 ; $125.00 per 1000.

Cibotium Schiedei. 



This is undoubtedly the finest of all Ferns for decorative 

 purposes, and, though appearing very soft, is in fact very hardy, 

 as has been demonstrated by the leading decorators throughout 

 the country, succeeding admirably as a house plant. It possesses 

 a graceful and delicate appearance that is found in no other plant. 

 It is a variety that is always scarce and difficult to obtain. 

 7-inch pots $2.00 each. 



PlatyceriumS. ( Stag-Horn Ferns. ) 



These are always interesting on account of their curiosly- 

 shaped foliage and peculiar habit of growth. 

 Alcicorne. The best known species, foliage not as large as 



in most others, but very interesting. 75 cts. each. 

 Grande. This interesting variety is always scarce. Strong 



plants, $2.00 each.

The New Tarrytown Fern. 



Nephrolepis Piersoni Elegantissima. 



This is a sport from the Pierson Fern, in which the plump 

 peculiarity of the original form is even more distinctly devel- 

 oped than in the original, the side pinna? being again sub- 

 divided and standing at right angles to the midrib, makes both 

 sides of the frond equally beautiful, while, at the same time, the 

 plant is of much more compact habit, growing only one-half as 

 tall, but with the fronds nearly twice as wide, making it a much 

 more desirable plant for all purposes. 



Young plants from 2 '4; -inch pots will be readv for delivery in 

 February, while the larger sizes can be furnished at once.
