NEPHROLEPIS P1ERSONII ELEGANTISSIMA. 



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

 liarity of the original form is even more distinctly developed than 

 in the original, the side pinne being again subdivided and standing 

 at right angles to the direction of 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. (See cut.) Price, 2-inch pots, $1.25 per doz.; 

 3-inch pots, $2.00 per doz.; 5-inch pots, 60c. each, $6.00 per doz.; 

 6-iuch pots, $1.00 each, $9.00 per doz. 



NEPHROLEPIS SCOTTI. 



(The above picture is a photograph of a large specimen plant.) 

 It is in essence a condensed form of the Boston fern, with valuable 

 characteristics added, which are not evident in the parent, an aver- 

 age plant in an 8-inch pot having 200 fronds. The fronds of the plant 

 described average about 20 inches in length and 3 inches in width at 

 the widest point; the pinnae are very closely set, so that they over- 

 lap, making a more finished frond than the parent. The plant in 

 question had a spread of three feet. Plants in 4-inch pots showed a 

 spread of 18 inches and a height of 10 to 12 inches. It has a crispness 

 and hardness about it which is superior to the parent, and because 

 of the fact that its character is established in the smallest size, it 

 should find ready sale at all grades. Price, plants from 2-inch pots, 

 75c. per doz.; 3-inch pots, $1.25 per doz.; 4-inch pots, $2.50 per doz.; 

 6-inch pots, $4.50 per doz.; 6-inch pots, $6.00 per doz. 



THE BOSTON FERN. 

 In well grown specimens the fronds attain a length of six or seven 

 feet, like plumes arching over in every direction, in a most graceful 

 manner. Price, plants from 7-inch pots, $9.00 per doz.; 6-inch pots, 

 $6.00 per doz.; 5-inch pots, $4.00 per doz.; 4-inch pots, $2.50 per 

 doz.: 3-inch pots, $8.00 per 100; 2-inch pots, $5.00 per 100. 



THE PIERSON FERN. 



A new form of the Boston Fern. The pinme subdividing making 

 miniature fronds, which are superimposed on the main fronds, look- 

 \ ing as if two or even three were condensed in one. They are graceful 

 beyond description, feathery, plumy; nothing describes them better 

 than Ostrich Plumes. Price, 2-inch pots, 75c. per doz.; 3-inch pots, 

 $1.00 per doz.; 6-inch pots, $6.00 per doz.; 7-inch pcfls, $9.00 per doz. i
