CRYTOMIUM FALCATUM ROCHFORDIANUM 



Adiantum Farleyense Gloriosa. 



The Olory Fern or Ruhm von Mordrecht. 



For the grrower of Ferns for cutting this new Maiden Hair will 

 undoubtedly prove a most important addition ; it closely resembles 

 Adiantum Farleyense and will make a splendid substitute for that 

 fancy variety and it can be produced at much less cost, as it will 

 thrive under conditions in which Adiantum Farleyense could not 

 exist. 



At our Riverview Nursery we have given it a very fair trial for 

 this purpose during the past winter. A block of these plants were 

 planted on a bench in a house devoted to the ordinary Boston Fern 

 and received the ordinary treatment and temperature given to the 

 Nephrolepis, and under this treatment they developed not only 

 fronds of great beauty on longer, stiffer stems than Farleyense 

 produces, but also many more fronds than would be developed by 

 that variety in the same length of time under the most favorable 

 condition. 



Anyone who successfully grows the ordinary varieties of Adian- 

 tum such as Cuneatum, Croweanum and Hybridum, can grow it 

 under precisely the same conditions given to these sorts. 



We are now booking orders for delivery early in May for 2 '/^ -inch 

 pot plants at $2.00 per dozen ; $15.00 per 100. 



Adiantum Croweanum. 



We are the sole distributers of Mr. Crowe's stock of 

 this valuable fern. 



This is not only the best and most profitable Maiden- 

 hair to grow for cutting, but it is also the best variety to 

 recommend to the retail buyers for house culture, it 

 standing the dry atmosphere of the room better than 

 any variety we have yet tried. Strong 3-inch pots, 

 $2.00 per dozen ; $15.00 per 100; $140.00 per 1000. 



Adiantum Hybridum.

 15th, at 85 cts. per doz.; $6.00 per $100; $50.00 per 1000.

 rich, deep, glossy green color, the pinnae or leaflets besides being

 dish Fern but as a specimen plant for decorative work and for apart- 

 ment use.
