FINE 



FERNS 



NEPHROLEPIS AMERPOHLI 



THE BOSTON FERN AND ITS VARIETIES. 



Nephrolepis Bostoniensis. (The Boston Fern.) 



2^-inch pots 60 cts. per doz.; $4.00 per 100 ; $35.00 per 1000 



Nephrolepis Scottii. (The Scott Fern.) 



The Scott Fern still holds its place as one of the most important of 

 the Nephrolepis, the public appreciates well grown plants of it, and the 

 ease and quickness with which saleable plants can be produced and 

 this at a saving of time as well as of room compared with all other 

 varieties, has also made it a favorite with the grower. 



2&-inch pots 60 cts. per doz.; $4.00 per 100; $35.00 per 1000 



Nephrolepis Whitmani. 



The Improved Ostrich Plume Fern. 



Unquestionably the most valuable of this type superseding Piersoni, 

 Barrowsi and Elegantissima all of which we have now discarded in 

 favor of this variety. Not only is the pinnae on the individual fronds 

 more finely divided but the fronds are denser, broader and more 

 graceful and the habit of the plant is more perfect. 



25^-inch pots 75 cts per doz.; $5.00 per 100 ; $40.00 per 1000 



Nephrolepis Amerpohli. 



This is the latest addition to the Ostrich Plume type and is certain 

 to prove a welcome and popular variety, holding for delicacy and 

 gracefulness the same position among the Nephrolepis that Adiantum 

 Gracillimum does among the Maiden Hair Ferns. The pinnae is so 

 finely divided that it reminds one of a piece of fine lace, the fronds are 

 broad and of a depth which gives them a cushion-like appearance. 

 It forms a beautiful specimen and is admired by everyone who sees it.

Nephrolepis Todeaoides. 

 Todea or Filmy Fern=like Nephrolepis. 



This is an English introduction that has received a first class 

 certificate both from the Royal Horticultural Society and from the 

 Royal Botanic Society of London. While in a general way it reminds 

 one of an exceptionally well grown plant of N. islegantissima it is 

 entirely distinct from this and all others, in its strong yet compact 

 growth and its bold heavy foliage which is distinctly tripinnate or 

 three times divided. Admired by everyone and we have great faith 

 in its future. 



25^-inch pots $3-50 per doz. : $25.00 per 100. 



4-inch pots 50 cts each ; $5.00 per doz. ; $40.00 per 100 



Nephrolepis Superbissima. 



The Latest and Most Distinct of the New Boston Ferns. 



This new fern is a unique and distinct novelty as different from any 

 of the other crested forms, as they are distinct from the ordinary Bos- 

 ton Fern, it is really in a class by itself. The fronds are very heavily 

 imbricated, the pinnae overlapping, making the fronds very dense and 

 compact. In color also it is different, being of a richer, darker green. 

 The plant is very sturdy in its habit, the fronds never breaking down. 

 It makes a much more dwarf and compact growth, the fronds being 

 very dense, firm and rigid, it will stand more knocking around than 

 any other fern of this type. 



To be distributed in July or August, orders booked now and filled in 

 rotation.
