PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK. — WHOLESALE LIST OF PLANTS. 



"THE BOSTON" FERN. 



(Nephrolepis Bostoniensis.) 



One of the most useful and ornamental of the " Sword Ferns." 

 It is now grown by the thousand for the market in all the large 

 cities, and is steadily increasing in popularity. In well-grown 

 specimens the fronds attain a length of 6 or 7 feet, like plumes 

 arching over in every direction, in a most graceful manner. This 

 beautiful fern is excellent for outside planting in shady borders. It 

 is~a very fine plant for hanging pots or baskets on the piazza in 

 summer, and conservatory or window in winter. (See cut.) Price, 

 plants from 7-inch pots, $1.00 each; 6-inch pots, 50c. each; 5-inch 

 pots, 30c. each, $3.00 per doz.; 4-inch pots, 20c. each, $2.00 per 

 doz. 3-inch pots, $1.00 per doz., $6.00 per 100. 



JAPANESE GLOBE FERN. 



A unique and handsome ornament for the greenhouse, con- 

 servatory or living room window. The Japanese prepare this by 

 iastening the rhizomes (creeping stems) of Davallia Bullata around 

 a ball of moss while in a dormant condition. When wanted to 

 prow they need only be immersed in water and hung up, im- 

 mersing them again at required intervals. (See cut.) The stock we 

 crier is second year growth, not the freshly made-up stock.
