NEW FERN BARROWSII 



Barrowsii 



Sensational New Fern 



At the great exhibitmade at the recent convention of the Society 

 of American Florists, atWashinj^ton, U. C.,this magnificent Fern' 

 was the center of attraction. In comparison with other varieties 

 there shown It easily out-ranked them. We believe it to be an 

 improvement over all the other forms of the feathery fronded 

 varieties. The fronds are more dense, more finely pinnate and 

 more massive and delicate. It thrives in tlie same temperature 

 and under the same conditions as the old reliable Bf^an Ffm.
