FERNS AND 3ELAGINELLA3 
No COLLECTION of plants is complete without Perns and Mosses. Their beautiful foliage seems especially fitted 
to combine with all brilliant and lovely flowers, and to supplement the majestic eleRanee of the Talms and Cyeads 
we have the large Tree forms. A vast variety there is, too. amung them, from the delicate, transparent green 
fronds of the finer Adiantums to the bold and handsome foliage of tlio Nephrolepis and Tteris ; or from the lovely 
Selaginellas, carpeting the ground, to the stately and tall Tree Ferns. 
The appreciation of Ferns has increased vastly of late years, and they are now extensively used for all decorative 
purposes and in all elegant floral work. Our extensive and carefully grown stock affords ample opportunity for buyers to 
select any forms which may please their fancy or suit their convenience. New and really valuable species are constantly 
being added to our stock.
