New and Rare Plants of Recent Introduction 
NEPHROLEPIS SIEBRECHTII 
This is a sport from the I'ierson Fern, in which 
the plumy peculiarity of the original form is even 
more distinctly developed than in the original ; the 
side pinnse heing again suhdivided and standing at 
right angles to the direction of the midrib, makes 
both sides of the frond equally beautiful, while at 
the same time, the plant is of much more compact 
habit, growing only one-half as tall, but with the 
tronds nearly twice as wide, making it a much more 
desirable plant for all purposes, (i-inch pots, S1.25 
each; 7-inch pots, $2.00 each. Large specimens, $5.00 
each.

PHOENIX ROEBELINII 
This beautiful palm, certainly the most graceful 
of all the palm faiiiily, was discovered in China a 
few years ago. The first plants, of which there were 
only a few, were brought to London and sold at auc- 
tion. The largest plant was .sold for over six hun- 
<lred dollars. Some seed has been brought over, and 
the plants from this are now offered in very small 
•quantity to the public. This variety of Phienix is 
by far the most satisfactory for house culture as it 
■does not grow very tall : in fact, it is known in the 
trade as the "pygmy Plupnix." It is exceptional in 
the form of its stem and in the elegance and soft 
texture of its bright green leaves. 5-inch pot-plants. 
12 inches high. $2..50 each ; handsome specimen plants, 
3 feet high, $15.00 each.
