 derful new Fern does not give

 Piersoni, but it is much more 

 beautiful. The side pinnae are 

 again subdivided, presenting an 

 exquisite and beautiful effect.

Nephrolepsis a Gem 



Whitmani Among Fems 



This magnificent new fern is a sport from 

 the Boston Fern, but unlike other sports of 

 this variety, such as Piersoni, Barrowsii and 

 Elegantissima, it never reverts to the Boston 

 type. Every frond is perfect. It is of the 

 same feathery fronded type as the above vari- 

 eties, but more dwarf and smaller in all its 

 parts. The fronds are more dense and delicate 

 than any other variety. It makes a beautiful 

 symmetrical plant, even in small sizes, and 

 large specimen plants are beautiful beyond 

 description. Price of strong young plants, 25 

 cts. each; 3 for 60 cts., postpaid.
