TREE FERNS 
THE stately grace and elegance of the wonderful Tree Ferns is beyond description. Vying with the Palms, they 
are of the greatest beauty and utility for all decorative purposes and have a charm belonging to no oilier order 
of plants. No tropical greenhouse is complete without them. We are constantly importing fine, healthy stems 
of all the leading varieties, as well as some new and rare species, all of which we offer at moderately low prices. 
We have also many large and extra large specimens of extreme beauty, in perfect condition, the prices of which 
can be had on application. For particulars as to varieties and sizes of these specimen Tree Ferns, see page 12.
