FINE FERNS OF SPECIAL MERIT 



Adiantum Farleyense Qloriosa. 



The Olory Fern or Ruhm von Mordrecht. 



The Fern Which Will Revolutionize the Cut Frond Business. 



For the errowerof 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 friven 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 F'ern 

 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 have a fine block of about 30,000 young plants coming on 

 which will be ready to send out about September 1st from 2V4-inch 

 pots, and for which we are now booking orders at $2.00 per doz.;
