Stove and Greenhouse Varieties. 
These are indispensable decorative plants, and their beauty in contrast with flowering plants 
is well-known, their popularity is ever increasing. For Stove and Greenhouse or table and room 
decoration they are of great value, their elegant and graceful habit giving a pleasing effect. They 
are also invaluable for margins of paths, under stages, or corners, where frequently other plants have 
failed. 
Choice New Forms of Nephrolepis. 
The following varieties are very beautiful and interesting breaks from the ordinary type. Their 
striking character consists in the exquisite way in which the divisions of the fronds are further 
sub-divided until the whole assumes a beautiful plume-like form.

beauty, with soft feathery fronds abundantly furnished with small pea green pinnules ;
