ASPIDIUM FRAGRANS. 
This is the extremely scarce Violet-scented hardy Pern. 7s. 6d. 
ASPLENIUM TBICHOIIANES IMBRI- I ASPLENIUM TRICHOMANES MOULEI, 
CATUM, 3*. 6(7. I 3s. 6(7. 
ATHYRIUM FILIX-FCEMINA APPLEBYANUM. 
A very elegant form of Lady Pern, obtained from Frizellite, which it resembles in having long, 
harrow, arching fronds, with small rounded pinnae. Its peculiar characteristic is, that the fronds 
become ramose at the apex, branching out into a flat spreading head of several divisions, sometimes 
as many as fifteen on one frond. 2s. 6(7. 
ATHYRIUM FILIX-FCEMINA CONTORTUM. 
In this remarkable variety is combined to some extent the characters of Vietorite, sagittatum, and 
Applebyanum, the pinnse on each frond being diversified in the most curious manner. 3.«. 6(7. 
ATHYRIUM FILIX-FCEMINA CORONATUM. 
Spreading short fronds, crispy, and forked at the ends ; a very handsome variety, and a vigorous 
grower. 2s. 6(7. 
ATHYRIUM FILIX-FCEMINA DIFFISSO-MULTIFIDUM. 
Spreading and irregularly toothed, like diffissum, eaeh frond branching more or leas from the top, 
thus forming a compact crest-like head ; a pretty variety. Is. 6(7. 
ATHYRIUM FILIX-FGEMINA GRANTI/E. 
A rare and extremely pretty variety, with dense leafy and crispy -looking fronds, on stout short 
stalks. 3s. 6(7. 
ATHYRIUM FILIX-FCEMINA SAGITTATUM. 
A pretty variety of Lady Pern, raised from the variety called Fieldies, and, like it, having a portion 
or the greater part of the frond furnished with abnormal pinnm forking irregularly from their base. 
It has, however, hitherto proved a much dwarfer plant than Fieldics ; and besides being prettily 
toothed, it has in its typical state the posterior branch of the pinnm more developed than the 
anterior one, which with its pointed apex gives it an arrow-headed appearance. 2s. 6(7. and 3s. 6(7. 
ATHYRIUM FILIX-FCEMINA VICTORI^E. 
In this very curious and beautiful variety, which belongs to the rhcstisusii type, the apices of the 
pinnse and fronds are tasseled ; but the most remarkable peculiarity is that the pinnae, instead of 
being simple, all fork at the base, so that two are developed from the same point ; and as they are 
divergent, and one directed forwards and the other backwards, they cross each other on tho whole 
length of the frond, which thus acquires a very curious appearance. Is. 6(7. and 2s. 6(7.

ATHYRIUM GORINGIANUM PICTUM, 
This handsome variety, which attracted a good deal of attention at the International Horticultural 
Exhibition, is remarkable as forming another addition to the small number as yet known of varie- 
gated Ferns. It is of Chinese origin, and bears somewhat triangular fronds of drooping character, 
marxed with a grey band along eaeh side of the reddish mid-rib of the pinnae. 7s. 6(7.
