With so large a number of species and varieties as we now possess, many of them being very 
difficult to replace when we are once sold out of them, it becomes an impossibility to keep up a 
supply of every variety at all times, hui we do our utmost to keep , our collection as complete as 
possible ; on the other hand, as we are continually propagating and buying in, at inteevals 
THEOUGHOUT THE YEAE, WE ISSUE AbEIDGED CATALOGUES GIVING THE NAMES AND PEICES

A COPY OF OUE LATEST ISSUE, GEATIS, SHOULD ONE BE DESIEED. It Contains many short 
descriptions and remarks about Ferns, as well as other information not given in this Catalogue. 
The names printed in small capitals are those by which the species are usually known, while 
those printed in italics are synonyms. 
The Ferns enumerated in this section should be cultivated in a temperature of 60° to 70° in 
Winter, and 70° to 80° in Summer, though some of them will grow in greenhouse temperature. 
Vide “ Hiiits on Cultivation,” at the end of the Catalogue. 
Under the heading Average Height we give what we believe will prove useful information to 
many, especially when planting Bock work, Wardian Cases, &c. It musk^not be understood, how- 
ever, that the Ferns never grow any higher* than the figures attached to- each indicate, nor yet that 
they always attain- the respective heights mentioned, because they grow much more luxuriantly 
under some circumstances than others ; nevertheless, the various heights mentioned will give 
a fair idea of what may reasonably be expected under ordinary conditions. We would also remark 
that the figures do not refer to the actual length of the fronds, as some species produce fronds which 
are pendent, and as these hang down more or less, to give the length of the fronds would 090 vey a 
wrong idea of their height.
