PTERIS CRETICA SERRULATA VARIEGATA. 
An interesting variegated hybrid, intermediate between P. serrulata and P. creiica aJbo-lineaia ; the 
fronds are pinnate, and prettily serrated, each pinnro banded down the centre with a white stripe, and 
instead of the spreading habit of the last-named Fern, its growth is more rigid and compact.

ATHYRIUM FILIX-FCEMINA APPLEBYANUM. 
A very elegant form of Lady Fern, obtained from Frkelliee, which it resembles in having long, 
narrow, arching fronds, with small rounded pinnae. Its pecubar 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. Adding thus a multifid character to the graceful habit and general featm'es of 
Frizelliai. it is to be regarded as one of the handsomer of the smaller forms of Lady Fern. 
Price 5s. each. 
ATHYRIUM FILIX-FCEMINA CORONATUM. 
Spreading short fronds, crispy, forked at the ends ; a very handsome variety and vigorous gi-owei-. 
Price 5s. each. 
ATHYRIUM FILIX-FCEMINA DIFFISSO-MULTIFIDUM. 
Spreading and in'egularly toothed like diffissum, each frond branching more or less from the top, 
thus fonning a compact, crest-like head. A pretty variety. 
Price 2s. 6d. and 3s, Gd. each. 
ATHYRIUM FILIX-FCEMINA FRIZELLI/E. 
This singular variety is less vigorous than most of the Athyriums, but by no means a tardy or shy 
grower. The fronds vary from 12 to 18 inches in length, and from half to one inch in breadth ; habit 
slender, graceful, drooping ; pinnae crcnately fan-shaped, and densely auricled on the inferior side. A 
most beautiful and interesting variety. 
Price 2s. 6d. each. 
ATHYRIUM FILIX-FCEMINA VICTORI/E. 
The variety belongs to the rhceticum type, and the apices of the pinnae and fronds are tasselled ; 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 the whole length of the frond, which thus acquires a very 
curious appearance. Price Ws. 6d. each. 
ATHYRIUM FILIX-FCEMINA SAGITTATUM. 
A pretty variety of Lady Fern, raised from the variety called Fieldiie, and like it, having a portion, 
or the greater part of the frond furnished wth abnormal pinnae forking iiTegularly from their base. It 
has however, hitherto proved a much dwarfer plant than Fieldice; and besides being prettily toothed, it 
has in its typical state the posterior branch of the pinnae more developed than the anterior one, which 
with its pointed apex gives it an arrow-headed appearance. An elegant and distinct hardy variety. 
Price 08 . each.
