THE NEW COMPACT BOsTON FERN. XEPHROLEPIS SCOTTII 



Xeplirolepis Barro\irsii. 



A new Variety of the Pierson Fern, 



In this new variety we have a dense compact form of the 

 Pierson Fern, in which the fronds are not only shorter and 

 broader, but it grows bushier, and what is most important, its 

 fronds are supported on stout, stiff midribs, which gives the 

 plant a much shaplier form. We have every reason to believe 

 that this will hold the same position to the Pierson Fern that 

 Scottii now holds to the old Boston. 



We offer fine, strong, vigorous young plants. §3.50 per 

 dozen ; §25.00 per 100 ; ^200.00 per looo. 



The New Tarrytoi^m Fern. 



Nephrolepis Piersoni £legautissiina. 



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

 peculiarity of the original form is even more distinctly devel- 

 oped than in the original, the side pinnae 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.

The Boston Fern 

 and its Varieties 



Nephrolepis Scottii. 



When this variety was introduced about a 

 year ago we predicted that it would soon take 

 the place of the Boston Fern, a strong state- 

 ment, but one which will, in a verj' short 

 time be fully realized, it having met with 

 great popularity. 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 ordinary Boston Fern 

 could only be accomplished with the most 

 careful culture, and by gi'snng 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 disappoint- 

 ment as in some of the new varieties introduced 

 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 graceful form. 



We have a splendid stock of the sizes offered below in 

 strong, clean, vigoious plants, that are certain to give satis- 



faction.

The New Maiden-hair for CnttlDg. 



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

 centres, where it find ready sales in preference to and at higher 

 prices than other forms of Maidenhair. Its principal points of 

 merit are its strong vigorous growth, verv- long stems and remark- 

 able keeping qualities. We offer strong 3-inch pot plants, 

 $2.50 per dozen ; $15.00 per IOC ; $125.00 per 1000.
