NEW PLANTS, 
GREENHOUSE & STOVE FERNS. 
In consequence of a successful and recent importation, Australian 
Tree Ferns \vith magnificent trunks six to eight feet high, can now be 
offered at the extraordinary low price of five guineas each ; dwarfer, 
and handsome specimens with trunks from one to five feet high, 
equally moderate in price. Majestic and gracefully plumed Tree Fenis 
may now he expected to lend a charm to almost every Conservatory 
(which hitherto from their high price have been unobtainable). The 
distinct semi-soandent greenhouse Adiantum “ Feei,” is also now 
reduced to a moderate price. Cibotium princeps, is one of the hand- 
somest of large growing Ferns. Lomaria cycadaefolia, a remarkable 
species more resembling a Cycad than a Fern. The handsome New 
Zealand Fern Cyathea Smithi, hitherto so rai'e can now be supplied 
in nice specimens, as also the black stem’d New Zealand Ferns, 
“ Cyathea medullaris ” and “ Dicksonia squarrosa.” Trichomanes 
anceps, is one of the handsomest of the filmy Ferns. Huge specimens 
of Todea hymenophylloides with handsome trunks, probably the finest 
ever imported, can now be furnished from my Establishment. 
NEW & RARE HARDY FERNS. 
One of the best new kinds is the crested Polystichum angulare 
“ grandiceps,” this is really a superb variety, and is by far the finest 
kno^vn crested fonn of the species. Polystichum angulare rotundatum 
is also an extremely rare variety, unlike any other native or exotic 
kind. Two of the handsomest of the Lady Ferns are Athyrium Filix- 
foemina Vernonoe, and Athyrium Filix-foemina Victoria. Lastrea 
varia is a gem from J apan, the j’oung fronds are of a red copper colour, 
which contrasts strongly with the dark green of the older fronds. 
Lastrea Standishi is a decided acquisition, as is the Japanese 
Polystichum setosum. 
NEW SPOTTED PELARGONIUMS. 
What greenhouse would be complete without Pelargoniums ? Indian 
Azaleas are to the spring what these are to the summer, are they not 
the most serviceable for decoration and for cut flowers of any class of 
plants we possess ? surely then it is desirable to have good kinds, and 
the beauty, novelty, and merit of those at page 28, are such as must 
give entire satisfaction ; they have been obtained by carefully
