Tree Fern5. 
FERNS are admittedly among the most beautiful and exquisite of nature's gems, and are universally admired; 
but the added grace and elegance of these wonderful tree forms is beyond description. They are of the 
greatest beauty and utility for all decorative purposes, and have a charm belonging to no other oi-der of 
plants. No tropical greenhouse is complete without them. 
Of these grand and imposing Tree Ferns, we are constantly importing fine healthy stems of all the leading va- 
rieties, 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 and in perfect condition, the prices of which can be had on ap- 
plication. For particulars as to varieties and sizes of these specimen Tree Ferns, see page 67.
