The Famous Boston Sword Fern. 
This popular Fern has proven the best decorative plant of 
recent introduction. It is a rapid grower of very easy culture, 
soon forming a large, graceful plant; its beautiful fronds often 
attaining a length of 4 to 5 feet, which arch and droop so 
gracefully that it is sometimes called the Fountain Fern. No 
plant ever introduced has had a larger sale than the popular 
"Boston Fern.” You can make no mistake in ordering this 
magnificent Fern, as it is sure to please you. We receive 
many letters from patrons who are highly pleased with the 
Boston Fern purchased from us. Price, 12 cts. each.

some pot plant, or can be used in baskets or vases, making a 
charming effect. It will grow luxuriantly in water, and is 
therefore indispensable for aquariums or fountains.

The Kentia Palm, besidas being one of the most graceful

growth, but is not affected by the dust and dry air of the 
house, and will grow and thrive where few other plants 
would live, and will continue to increase in size and beauty 
for many years. Fine thrifty plants.

flowering hedges.
