Cyrtomium Falcatum. Quite a new Fern from Japan, of low ornamental growth, 
fronds of great substance, thick and leathery, keeping well on plant or when cut. 
This variety is now very popular and in great demand at Christmas in sections of 
country where known, it being called the Holly Fern, from resemblance of foliage on 
mature fronds to that of Holly. Price 20 dts. 
Polypodium Aureum. A grand large growing sort, making a fine specimen in 
short time. Very noticeable on account of foliage, which is very large and of a dis- 
tinct bluish color. Price 20 dts. ; larger, 35 dts. 
Dicksonia Antartica. Royal and majestic ; perhaps the most generally admired 
of all Tree Ferns. The tall straight column of the trunk has an unusually rich, 
luxuriant crown of delicately cut but firm-textured fronds. For unique decorative 
effects the Tree Ferns are unsurpassed. Being rare and not in common use, 
they attract attention. Young plants do not show the tree form; as they grow 
older they gradually form a trunk or tree shape. Price 20 and 35 dts. 
Platycerium Grande. Better known as Staghorn Fern, owing to the striking re- 
semblance of the fronds to the horns of a stag. Price 50 dts. to .$3.00 each. 
Pteris Argyrea. A very strong growing variety and very useful for all purposes. 
Quite large foliage, with broad white band through the center of each frond.
