THE NEW, ELEGANT, PLUMED FERN. 



Nephrolepsis Piersoni Elegantisrima. 



This is a sport from the Pierson Fern, in which the plumy peculiarity of the original form 

 is even more distinctly developed than in the original, the side pinnae being again subdivided 

 and standing at right angles to the direction of the midrib, makes both sides of the frond equally 

 v? 6 ff U wnue at the same time the plant is of much more compact habit, growing only one- 



halt as tall, but with the fronds nearlv twice as wide, making it a much more desirable plant 

 f°r all purposes. (See cut.) Price. 2-inch pots, 25c. each, S2.25 per doz.; 3-inch pots, 40c.

THE NEW PARLOR FERN, N. SCOTTII. 



It is in essence a condensed form of the Boston fern, with valuable characteristics 

 added, which are not evident in the parent, an average plant in an S-inch pot. having 

 200 fronds. The fronds of the plant described average about 20 inches in length and 

 3 inches in width at the widest point; the pinnae are very closely set, so that they 

 overlap, making a more finished frond than the parent* The plant in question had 

 a spread of three feet. Plants in 4-inch pots showed a spread of 18 inches and a height 

 of 10 to 12 inches. It has a crispness and hardness about it which is superior to the 

 parent, and which is one of its very valuable characteristics. It propagates very 

 freely, and because of the fact that its character is established in the smallest size. 

 it should find ready sale at all grades.

 each; $5.00 per doz.; 3-inch pots. 15c. each, $1.50 per doz.; 2-inch pots,
