FERNS 



DECORA TIVE 



and ORNAMENTAL 



Onychium Japonicum. * 



PTERIS tremula 



(Shaking- Fern.) The foliage of the Pteris varieties is large, very- 

 graceful. The slightest movement of the air shakes the leaves of this 

 kind, which we recommend more than any other for house culture, etc. 

 It grows readily and very fast. Keep the leaves from dust and sprinkle 

 slightly every warm day. Price, 2'/ 2 -inch pots, 50 cents per dozen; $3.00 

 per hundred. 



ONYCHIUM JAPONICUM 



A very beautiful Fern, having long, graceful fronds. The wiry tex- 

 ture of the leaf makes it keep a long time; very useful for Fern dishes 

 as illustration on this page will show. Price, strong plants from flats, 

 $1.00 per hundred. Two-and-a-half-inch pot plants, 50 cents per 

 dozen; $3.00 per hundred. 



PTERIS ARGYREA 



The Beautiful Eilver Fern 



A very showy Fern, with variegated foliage, fronds large, light 

 green, with a broad band of silvery -white down the center of each. Very 

 distinct. We have a large stock of this beautiful Fern. Price, 2l/2-inch, 

 pots, 50 cents per dozen; $4.00 per hundred. 



PTERIS WIMSETTI 



A very pretty and useful Fern for specimen or dish. Green leaves 

 with the ends very peculiarly crested. This Fern is not generally 

 known. It is one of our best varieties for dishes, being a short, com- 

 pact grower and will stand rough treatment. Price, strong plants, 50 

 cents per dozen; $3.00 per hundred. 



ADIANTUM VENOSUM 



The Beautiful Maiden Hair Fern, 



A very beautiful form of A. Cuneatum, having long, graceful fronds, 

 with the ends of the fronds developed into bunching tasseled heads. 

 Very similar to Cuneatum Grandiceps, only having a little larger leaf, 

 and stronger grower. Price, 40 cents per dozen; $2.50 per hundred. 



SELAGINELLA EM I LLIAN A 



A new, upright growing moss, with numerous feathery stems branch- 

 ing from the base and formihg a dense tuft. "Well grown plants at- 

 tain twelve to eighteen inches in height. We know of no. moss su- 

 perior to it. We put this moss in with the page of Ferns, as the 

 character is very much like the Fern and is used with them in ferni- 

 eries. Price, 50 cents per dozen; $3.00 per hundred. 



THE NEW DWARF BOSTON FERN 



(Nephrolepis Scotti) 



A compact, dwarf form of the favorite Boston Fern, in general ap- 

 pearance very much like the original form. It is just as gracefully 

 drooping in habit of growth, but is more compact. Strong, 2'/2-inch 

 pot plants, 50 cents per dozen; $3.00 per hundred. 



The New Fern, 

 WHITMANII 



The finest Fern yet in- 

 troduced." It is somewhat 

 similar to the Piersoni, but 

 more compact, more sturdy 

 in its growth, and never 

 running back to the old 

 Boston leaf. Price, 2!/ 2 - 

 inch pot plants, 60 cents 

 per dozen; $4.00 per hun- 

 dred.

 ber Plants. They are now

 and all from top cutting, 

 and well leaved from pot 

 up. Price, five-inch pots, 

 ten to fourteen inches
