THE NEW, ELEGANT, PLUMED FERN. 



Nephrolepis Piersoni Elegantissima. 



This is a sport from the Pierson Fern, in 

 which the plum)- perculiarity of the orig- 

 inal form is even more distinctly devel- 

 oped than in the original; the side pinna- 

 being again subdivided and standing at 

 right angles to the direction of the mid- 

 rib, make both sides of the frond equal- 

 ly 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 twic6 as wide, 

 making it a much more desirable plant 

 for all purposes. (See cut.) Price, 2-irch

NEW HYBRID GLOXINIA 



NEPHROLEPIS SCOTTI. 



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

 teristics added, which are not evident in the parent, an average plant in an 8-ir.ch 

 pot haying 200 fronds. The fronds of the plant described average about 20 

 inches in length and 3 inches in width at the widest point; the pinna; are very 

 closely set, So that they overlap, 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 in all 

 grades.
