The Boston Fern. Thjs graceful 



ISlephrolepis 

 •iilters from the ordinary Fern_ in hav- 

 ing much longer fronds, which fre- 

 , (inently attain a length of 4 feet. 

 These fronds arch and droop over 

 very gracefullj', on account of which 

 it is frequently called the "Fountain 

 Fern." 15c. 



Nephrolepis Scotti. The Dwarf Boston Pern. 



This is the latest and probably the best house 

 plant of all the Sword Ferns, identical to the 

 celebrated Boston Fern, except that it is smaller 

 in all its parts, more compact, and makes a nice 

 specimen in a short time. 26c. 



New Fern, "Piersoni." 



The feathery plume-like 

 fronds grow broad and 

 heavy, measuring 6 inches 

 across, increasing in beauty; 

 as they develop. On ac-: 

 count of the weight of the 

 foliage, the plant assumes 

 an exceedingly graceful ap', 

 pearance. 15c.

3 plants, all different, 25c.; 6 

 plants for 45c.; 12 for $1.00. 



Polystichium Proliferum. 



(Lace Fern.) Greatly in demand

 undoubted merits. It is fully as 

 useful for indoor growing as the 

 Boston Fern, and the fronds when 

 "^ut last nearly a month. ISc; 2 

 for 25c.
