— Bollandiae M . — one of the handsomest of the noncrested Male Ferns. 
It is remarkable for the succulent texture of its fronds and the 
great width of their pinnae, as, also, for their uniformly barren 
character. In consequence of the last-named characteristic it is, 
and is likely to remain, somewhat rare 2s. 6d. to 
— Clowesii M. 
— crispa Sim — a much-admired and quite unique variety, differing from 
the species in the widest manner imaginable ; the fronds rarely 
exceed 9 inches in length, and the pinnae, being densely imbricated 
or tiled, the whole plant assumes a crisp and compact appearance, 
exceedingly pretty. Indispensable to every collection ...Is. 6d. to

— cristata M. — If Athyrium F. f. Victories may be called the Queen of 
Lady Ferns , this splendid variety of L. Filix-mas may with equal 
justice be termed the King of Male Ferns. It is of the size of the 
species and allied to the variety paleacea. The ends of all the 
pinnae and the apex of the frond are beautifully tasselled. But as 
this magnificient fern is known to and admired by every one, a 
description is hardly called for Is. to 10
