236 Filix-mas 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 5s. to 10 6 
237 — Clowesii M. 3s. 6d. to 7 6 
238 — 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 takes a crisp and compact appearance, exceedingly 
pretty. Indispensable to every collection 2s. 6d. to 7 6 
239 — cristata M . — If A thy Hum F. f. Victoria 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 magnificent fern is known to and admired by every one, a des- 
cription is hardly called for . . . . Is. to 10 6 
240 — cristata angustata M. 3s. 6d. to 10 6

244 — digitata M. 3s. 6d. to 5 0 
245 — erosa Cloioes . .3s. 6d. to 5 0 
246 — furcans M . — this really noble variety attains the size of the species, and 
has the ends of the pinnae uniformly and elegantly forked; it makes 
fine specimens in a very short time 2s. 6d. to 5 0 
247 — grandiceps Sim. 5s. to 10 6

The Male Fern is of the easiest culture, of noble port, and a 
fine evergreen. Plant in light sandy loam (in the shade, if conve- 
nient). Many of the smaller varieties are highly interesting. In pot 
culture, give abundance of pot-room and water moderately. 
266 montana M. (Oreopteris Bory) — Mountain Buckler Fern . . . . Is. to 1 6 
267 — curvata M. . . . . 
268 — furcans M. 10 0 
269 — interrupta M 10 & 
270 — Nowelliana M. — this thoroughly permanent variety is of so extraor- 
dinary a character that one only moderately familiar wiih the species 
would, on a first view, be puzzled to say to which type it belonged. 
Fronds l£ to 2 feet in length and 4 to 6 inches in breadth, pinnae 
very narrow, pinnules extremely abbreviated, variously eroded and
