THE NEW FERN. NEPHROLEPIS PIERSONI 



The photograph of the frond on this page gives a very good idea ef the 

 feathery, plume-like fronds, although one has to see the plant in growth to 

 appreciate its beauty and value. The fronds grow broad and heavy, meas- 

 uring at least six inches across when fully developed, increasing in beauty 

 as they develop. We have a large stock of well-shaped, bushy, pot-grown 

 stock in all sizes.

THE NEW FERN. NEPHROLEPIS ELEGANTISSIMA 



A sport from the Piersonii Fern, but is much more beautiful. It is as 

 different from Piersonii Fern as that is from the Boston. The small side 

 pinnae are again subdivided, producing an exquisite and beautiful effect, 

 changing the entire character of the fronds, which measure less than half 

 the length and about twice the breadth of the fronds of the Piersonii Fern. 

 The fronds also assume an entirely different form, the side pinn« standing 

 at right angles to the mid-rib of the frond, making the frond appear double.
