Nephrolepis superbissima, or “Flufiy 
RuSles” Fern. (See illustration from 
photograph showing one of my average- 
sized plants.) The leaves are wonderfully 
Nephrolepis superbissima, continued 
"duffed" and cut, curled and fluted. They 
are dark green and exceedingly handsome 
and the plant is of clean, vigorous growth. 
The leaves are unusually stiffand rigid — 
note this in the illustration — enabling the 
plant to stand much rough handling. I feel 
that it can scarcely be recommended too 
highly. Strong young plants, 25 cts.; 
larger sizes. 3- to 4-in. pots, 50 cts., by mail.
