DREER'S FINE FERNS 



VARIETIES OF SPECIAL MERIT 



Adiantum Farleyense Gloriosa. 



The Glory Fern or Ruhm von Mordrecht. 



The Fern Which Will Revolutionize the Cut Frond Business. 



For the grower 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. 



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 in stock at the present time about 7500 plants in 3-inch 

 pots which we offer at 



$2.00 per doz.; $15.00 per 100; $140 per 1000. 



After these are sold we will have no further supply until about 

 Sept. 1st, and we will book orders for delivery at that time for 2Vi- 

 inch pots at same price as the 3-inch stock offered above. 



Adiantum Croweanum. 



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

 this valuable fern. 



This for many years has been the standard variety for general 

 commercial work. We will have a nice lot of 3-inch pots. $2.00 

 per doz.; $15.00 per 100 ; $140.00 per 1000.

Cyrtomium Rochfordianum. 



The Crested Holly Fern. 



The Most Valuable Decorative Fern of Recent Introduction. 



A most important addition to our list of Ferns. Its foliage is of a 

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

 wavy or undulated are also deeply cut or toothed, giving the plant 

 a graceful light appearance, which make it valuable not only as a 

 dish Fern but for decorative work and apartment use. 



We offer for delivery after July 1st 2^-inch pots, $3.00 per 100; 

 $25.00 per 1000. 



Also a limited lot of flats about 200 plants each, at $2.00 per flat. 



Pteris Childsi. 



This beautiful variety is to Pteris what Farleyense is to Adiantums, 

 and like that variety produces no spore, so that propagation is by the 

 rather slow method of division, which will keep it a rare variety. 

 The plant is of strong growth, attaining a height of about 20 inches; 

 fronds»large, pinnae deeply dentated and undulated, tips crested. 

 Makes a beautiful specimen for exhibition 



Specimen plants, 75 cts. each. 



Polypodium Glaucum Cristatum. 



A perfect gem and entirely distinct from all other Ferns, and a 

 splendid subject to grow into specimen plants; the fronds attain a 

 height of about 2 feet, and are of a metallic glaucous-blue color, 

 with the edges of the pinnae wavy and crispate, giving the plant a 

 graceful, unique appearance. 75 cts. each.
