Award of Merit. 



To Adiantum farleyense var, ' Glory of Moordrecht ' (votes, unani- 

 mous), from Mr. A. A. Fabius, Eedlands Nursery, Ems worth. The 

 account of its origin given was that two years ago a plant of Adiantum 

 tenerum farleyense, which variety had generally been considered sterile, 

 was observed to be Bearing spores on a few fronds. The spores were 

 sown, and gave rise to the beautiful variety exhibited under the above 

 name. The pinnules are similar to those of Adiantum tenerum 

 farleyense, but the fronds are borne on more erect petioles, and the 

 plants are said to succeed in a much lower temperature than that which 

 is necessary for the cultivation of the parent. The new Fern was 

 raised in the nursery of Mr. J. Bier, Moordrecht, Holland. (Fig. 72.)
