PURDY'S CALIFORNIA BULBS AND PLANTS 
27 
Aspidium aculeatum, var. lobatum. Our handsome house Fern 
ADIANTUM marginatum. Our native Maidenhair Fern. Very much like the green- 
house Ferns. It dies down in midsummer. 25 cts. each. 
A. pedatum, the Five-finger Fern. A most beautiful Fern, satisfactory as a pot- 
plant if the caution above is noted. 10 cts., 15 cts., and 25 cts. each; $i, $1.25, $2 and 
$4 per doz.; very heavy plants, 50 cts. each. 
ASPLENIUM Filix-fcemina is the Lady Fern, and I consider the two forms that I 
offer of this among the very best of our native Ferns. It is a large Fern and the fronds 
may arise to 4 feet in height. It likes moisture and shade, and the fronds are of the 
as afterwards, and keep the bed attractive while slower Ferns are establishing them- 
selves. Very large plants, $1 each. Good plants 50 cts. each, and very satisfactory 
small plants' at 25 cts. each. Special rates on quantities. 
A. Filix-fcemina, var. cyclorum is a synonym for the Asplenium spinulosum of my 
last catalogue. It is an evergreen. A most useful Fern. Price as above. 
ASPIDIUM munitum, var. imbricans. The dark green Sword Fern of the coast 
region. The illustration shows its fine habit well. A most satisfactory Fern, either out- 
side or in boxes. May be planted in rustic vases with splendid effect. 25 cts. and 50 cts. 
each, $10 per 100; very large plants at $1 each. 
A. munitum is the Oregon form of the Sword Fern; similar and very pretty. Small 
plants, 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz., $7.50 per 100. 
A. aculeatum, var. lobatum. In my opinion our handsomest large Fern. I he large 
fronds are finely cut and graceful. See illustration. 25 cts., 50 cts., and $1 each. 
A. rigidum. One of the Sword Ferns with light-colored fronds. The large Fern so 
much used by florists in floral pieces in California. Very satisfactory and will do well 
in dry places. 15 cts., 25 cts., and 50 cts. each, $10 per 100. 
CHEILANTHES californica. A Fern growing in exposed place- near rocks. It is 
very dainty, and when once established it will stand the driest summers. Not over 6 
inches high. 25 cts. each. , ... 
C. gracillima. In habit like the above, but the fronds are cut into little bead-like 
sections. 25 cts. each.
