Adiantam Latliomi. 



Always scarce, and in our estimation (excepting A. Far- 

 leyense) the most beautiful Adiantum in cultivation, for 

 growing into specimen plants. We have a fine lot of 3 inch 

 pots which we can supply at ii'2M0 per doz. ; $15.00 per 100, 



Adiantum Ithodophyllum. 



This variety is always scarce, and while it does not com- 

 pare with Farleyense in a large specimen, in a small plant 

 it resembles it very much, and has the advantage of suc- 

 ceeding under ordinary cultivation.

3 " $1.25 " 8.00 " 



Adiantum Caudatum and Adiantum

 2i in. pots, 00 cts. per doz. ; $4.00 per 100 ; $;35.00 per 1000. 



Microlepia Hirta Cristata. 



We consider this one of the finest Ferns in cultivation to 

 grow into specimen plants, and while it is of such a deli- 

 cate, graceful appearance, that would lead one to think 

 that it was useless as a house-fern, it is, nevertheless, one 

 of the best for this purpose, and when well grown meets 

 with as ready sale a.s the popular Boston Fern. It is seldom 

 that we are iu a position to offer it in (|uantity ; this sea- 

 son our stock is exceptionally large, which enables us to 

 offer it at the following low prices:

Nephrolepis Cordata Compacta. 



In our estimation this variety is the finest of all the 

 Sword Ferns ; it is of free, strong growing, compact habit, 

 attaining when fully grown, a height of about 2 feet. The 

 fronds, which are of a dark green color, are very rich, of 

 upright growth, with just sufficient arch in them to make 

 them graceful.

Pteris Wimsett 



Another new variety, and one that is certain to become 

 popular and a standard sort. It is of the same type as P. 

 Cretica Mngnifica, but, iu addition to the crest on the ends 

 of the fronds, the pinnaj is peculiarly toothed or lobed on 

 the sides, giving it a most distinct appearance We have 

 a large stock of this variety, which enables us to offer it at 

 once at a popular price. 



50 cts. per doz. ; $4.00 per 10.0 ; $35.00 per 1000. 



Pteris Tremula Smithiana. 



A crested form of P. Trcmuhi, introduced some ten years 

 ago, but which has always been scarce, and has never been 

 offered in large (luantities. We have succeeded in pro- 

 ducing a large stock, enabling us to otTer it at a low price. 

 This variety is especially adapted to grow into 5 or 6 iii>'h 

 pots, iu wliich shape it meets with read}- sale, being of 

 bold, attracitive and graceful apjiearance. 



50 cts. per doz ; $4.00 per 100 ; $35.00 per 1000. 



Pteris Serrulata Voluta. 



This desirable Fern is one of the most distinct varieties 

 of Pteris Serrulata yet introduced, the volute or curled 

 appearance of the pinuic being very noticeable, not only in 

 the mature plants, but also in the young state. Its elegant 

 appearance being also further enhanced by the tips of the
