ADIANTUM CAPILLUS-VENERIS DAPHNITES. 
Tlu.s Fern differs in a remarkable degree from all other varieties of the “ English Maiden Hair,” the 
pinnules of each of the branches being confluent (united), and the apex of the rachis dilated, spreading 
out the ultimate confluent pinnules into a crest-like crispy mass. The stipes are ebony coloured, and 
stouter than in any other form, and the pin lue are of a blue green. It has been awarded a First Class 
Certificate by the Royal Horticultural Society. 5s. and 7s. 6 d. 
ADIANTUM CAPILLUS-VENERIS MAGNIFICUM. 
The fronds of this really useful and attractive Fern are much larger than those of A. Capillus- 
Veneris, being from 12 to 15 inches long by 4 inches broad, and curving over the sides of the pot. 
The pinnaj are of a beautiful soft green, and are almost as large as those of A . farleyense , and, like 
that variety, they gracefully overlap each other with finely incised and fringed edges. The chief value 
of this plant is its hardiness and adaptability to the temperature of the greenhouse, whereas 
A. farleyense can only be cultivated in a stove. 5s. and 7s. 6 d.
