The New Fern Nephrolepis Elegantissima 



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

 plume-like fronds, although one has to see the plant to appreciate its beautv and value. 



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

 Fern as that is from Boston. The small side pinnae are again subdivided producing an ex- 

 quisite and beautiful effect, changing the entire character of the fronds, which measure " 

 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 pinnae standing at right angles to the 

 mid-rib of the frond making the frond appear double.

NEW NEPHROLEPIS WHITMANI 



The Improved Tarrytown Fern. 



In this we have unquestionably the most valuable Nephrolepis of the Ostrich Plume type yet introduced, not 

 only is it of dwarfer and more compact habit than the N, Elezaatlssima, but the pinnae beiiig more deeply di- 

 vided, gives the plant a much more graceful appearance, while another important point in its favor is the fact 

 that not a single frond has ever reverted to the common Boston Fern.
