THE NEW, ELEGANT, PLUMED FERN. 



Nephrolepis Piersoni Elegantissima. This is a 

 sport from the Pierson Fern, in which the plumy 

 peculiarity of the original form is even more dis- 

 tinctly developed than in the original; the side 

 pinna; being again subdivided and standing at right 

 angles to the direction of the midrib, make 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 de- 

 sirable plant for all purposes. (Sec cut.) Price,

 doz.; 5-inch pots, $5.00 per doz.; 6-inch pots, $7.50

NEPHROLEPIS SCOTTI. 



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

 with valuable characteristics added, which are not evi- 

 dent in the parent, an average 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 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 rind ready sale in all grades.
