of its graceful drooping habits. We use it as a house plant in winter and under shade trees in sum- 
mer. Every one who sees these ferns admires them and wants to know how to get them. This is a 
standard and most popular variety. Fine young plants, 25 cents each; extra strong plants, 75c each.

and really, it is a charming fern. Fine young plants, 35 cents; strong plants, 85 cents. See this
