Nephrolepis Philadelphia 

 Amerpohlii '-^^^^ 



Of all the Ferns yet intro- 

 duced with feathery fronds, 

 this exquisite variety is th-2 

 best and most sensational. 

 Neither illustration or descrip- 

 tion will give an idea of its 

 wonderful beauty. While of 

 the same type as T^.'hitmanii 

 and Elegantissima, the fronds 

 are moie lace-like, dense and 

 delicate. This variety has cre- 

 ated a furore wherever shown. 

 Is a strong grower, very easy 

 to manage and is the best 

 Fern of its class. If you 

 have never seen this variety, 

 by all means secure a plant — 

 its beauty will astonish you. 

 We make the price very low. 

 Strong young- plants, 30 cts. 

 each; 4 for $1; large specimen 

 plants, 60 cts. each, postpaid.
