Cyrtomium Rochfordianum Compactum (Crested Holly

satisfactory for apartment use; and this new variety has made 
a place for itself in the front rank as a decorative plant. Its 
foliage is of rich, glossy dark green; the pinnae or leaflets, 
beside being wavy or undulated on the edges, are also deeply 
cut or toothed, giving the plant a graceful and light appearance.

Polypodium Mandaianum. This variety differs from the 
type by the pinnae being curled and twisted on the edges instead 
of laciniated; it naturally makes a bushy graceful specimen and 
on account of its peculiar glaucous blue fronds and its hardiness 
as a house plant in which it is not surpassed by any other makes 
it especially valuable for decorative purposes. 3-inch pots, 
35 cts.; 4-inch pots, 75 cts.; 5-inch pots, $1.00; 6-inch pots, 
$2.00 each; 8-inch tubs, $5.00 each.
