Fine Ferns. 



As usual our stock of Ferns is very large, about 500,000 being now in pots ready to send out. Our collection has 

 been especially selected for florists' use, discarding all such as are only useful in a botanical collection.

 4 " 2.00 " 15.00 " 



Nkphrolepis Cordata Compacta. 



Microlepia Hirta Cristata. 



We consider this one of the finest P'erns 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 as the popular Boston Fern. It is seldom 

 that we are in a position to offer it in quantity ; this sea- 

 son our stock is exceptionally large, which enables us to 

 offer it at the following low prices: 



2\ inch pots, 75 cts. per dozen ; $ 6.00 per 100. 



3 " $1.25 " 10.00 " 



6 " 3.00 " 



Adiantum Liathomi. 



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 $2.00 per doz. ; $15.00 per 100. 



Adiantum Rhodophyllum. 



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. 



2 inch pots, 75 cts. per dozen ; $6.00 per 100. 



3 " $1.25 " 8.00 " 



4 " 2.00 " 15.00 " 



Cibotium Scliiedei. 



This is undoubtedly the finest of all Tree Ferns for use 

 in decorative purposes, and, though appearing very soft, is 

 in fact very hardy, as ban ))eeii deiiioiislrated by the lead- 

 ing decorators in all the Eastern cities, suct.'eeding admira- 

 bly as a house plant, which is not the case with any other 

 Tree Feru. It possesses a grace and delicate api)earance 

 that is found in no other plant. It is a variety that is always 

 scarce and difficult to obtain. We have succeeded in grow- 

 ing a fine lot of this variety, and offer beautiful decorative 

 plants of it. 6 inch pots, $1.50 each. 



Asplenium Nidus Avis. 



(Bird's Nest Fern.) 



It is very rarely that this interesting variety is offered to 

 the trade. W^e have been fortunate in securing a fine lot of 

 4 inch stock, which we offer at 50 cents each ; $5.00 per 

 dozen. 



Nephrolepis £xaltata Bostoniensis. 



(Boston .Sword Fern.) 



2 inch pots, 75 cts. per doz. ; $ 6.00 per 100.

Large plants in 7 and 8 inch pots, ready in December.

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. 



2^ in. pots, 75 cts. per doz ; $5.00 per 100 ; $45 per 1000.
