very dense, and in the center there is a hairy growth, and as

very few plants that will thrive under ordinary house care. 
It grows well, and improves in size where most all other ferns fail.

basket, and, as it is a very rapid grower, it is not long before 
they reach the floor from an ordinary parlor table. 35c each.

hardy sort, well adapted for house en nig, with 
ordinary care, with every one who tries it. 50c and 75c each.

NEPHROLEPIS ELEGANTISSIMA. This fern has lovely plume- 
like foliage and is in much demand for house or greenhouse 
decoration; of recent introduction. 4-inch pots, 50c each. 
NEPHROLEPIS WHITMANII. This is one of the newest intro- 
ductions to the "plume foliage" varieties and it is certainly very 
fine; must be seen to be appreciated. Does beautifully in hang- 
ing baskets. 4-inch pots, 35c each; in hanging baskets, 
$1.50 each. 
NEW ZEALAND TREE FERN (Dicksonia antartica). We have 
always been large importers of this truly grand Tree Fern, 
and the ever-increasing demand has compelled us to keep up

plants to offer from $5.00 to $25.00, according to size. For 
green-house decoration the New Zealand tree fern cannot be 
beaten; or for outside work, when planted in a sheltered location, 
they are also very suitable. (See cut opposite page).

THE DAHLIA 
Of late years these have sprung into wonderful prominence, and are becoming more and more popular every year. 
This is not to be- wondered at, considering how they have been improved upon. The Cactus Dahlia of today is much 
superior to the old "show" round, stiff sorts (though still admired by many) of old. The Cactus varieties have long 
twisted petals, resembling in many cases chrysanthemums.
