Aspidium munitum, var. imbricans. Dark green Sword Fern 
ADIANTUM marginatum. Our nati\-e Maidenhair Fern. Ver>- nuich like the green- 
house Ferns. It dies down in niidsumnicr. 15 cts. each, Si. 25 per doz. 
Adiantum pedatum, the Five-finger Fern. A most beautiful Fern, and very satisfac- 
tory as a pot-plant if the caution above is noted. 10 cts., 15 cts., and 25 cts. each, 
$1, Si. 25 and $2 per doz.; very heavy plants, 50 cts. each. 
ASPLENIUM Fihx-foemina is the Lady Fern, and I consider the two forms that I offer 
of this aniona; the very best of our native P'erns. It is a large Fern and the fronds 
ma>' arise to 4 feet in height. It likes moisture and shade, and the fronds are of 
the most pleasing green and very fragrant. They die to the ground in the winter, 
but make an astonishingly rapid growth in the early spring. I especially recom- 
mend planting this with other I'erns liberally in new beds, for they grow almost 
as well the first year as afterwards, and keep the bed attractive while slower Ferns 
are establishing themselves. Very large plants, $1 each. Good plants 50 cts. each, 
and very satisfactory small plants at 25 cts. each. Special rates on quantities. 
Asplenium FiHx-foemina, \-ar. cyclorum is a synonym for the Asplenium spinulosum of 
m\- last catalogue. It is an c\ergreen. A most useful Fern. I'rices as al)o\-e. 
ASPIDIUM munitum, var. imbricans. The dark green Sword Fern of the coast region. 
The illustration shows its fine habit well. A most satisfactor\' Fern, either outside 
or in bo.xes. May be planted in rustic vases with splendid effi'cl. 25 cts. and 
50 els. each, $10 per 100; very large plants at $1 each. 
A. munitum is the Oregon form of the Sword Fern; similar and very prelt\'. Small 
plants, 15 rts. each, $1.25 per doz., $7.50 per 100. 
A. aculeatum, \ar. lobatum. In my opinion, our handsomest large Fern. The large 
fr(jn(is aj-e fineh cut and graceful. Sec illustration. 25 cts., 50 cts. and $1 each. 
A. rigidum. One of the Sword Ferns with light-colored fronds. The large P'ern so much
