JAPANESE FERN BALLS. 
DAVALLIA BULLATA — A variety from .lapan with deep green fronds, 8 to 10 inches 
long, from creeping rootstocks or rhizomes. These are made up by the Japanese into fanciful 
shapes, such as balls, wreaths, and various other figures, and may be suspended from the roof of the 
conservatory or window garden, where they soon start into growth. These roots are fastened to a 
frame made of sphagnum moss, which retains the moisture, so that an occasional dipping into a pail 
of water is all that is required to keep the piants in a good growing condition. As we have found 
the ball-shaped forms to give the best results, as well as being the most artistic in appearance, we 
only offer this shape. 3s. 6rf. and 6s. 
NEW GOLDEN CONIFER. 
RETINOSPORA OBTUSA CRIPPSII — This magnificent plant is acknowledged by all 
to be the most beautiful Golden Conifer known ; it is stately, graceful, and pyramidal in habit, was 
raised as a seedling from lielinospora obtusa, and is an exact counterpart of the parent in growth. 
It provides the most brilliant bit of gold colouring known among Conifers, and fully exposed to the 
snn it does not burn in the least degree. First Class Certificate, K.H.S. Established plants in 
pots, 7s. 6tf., 10s. Gd., and 16s. 
NEW GRAPE. 
MELTON CONSTABLE SEEDLING — A seedling from Lady Hastings and Gros 
Colmar. The raiser states that it keeps much later than Black Alicante, and is of finer flavour than 
Gros Colmar. It colours and finishes well in a 6-in. pot, which Colmar will not do. and he 
has no hesitation in saying it will prove a grand market sort. Fruiting canes, in pots, 31s. 6d. 
planting canes, in pots, 21s.
