FERNS 
No collection of plants is complete without Ferns. 
Their popularity has greatly increased during the past 
few years, and now they are indispensable in all floral 
decorations, and are especially valued as room and ta¬ 
ble ornaments. Where there is shade and moisture, 
most of the varieties succeed well when planted out-of- 
doors. Good drainage must be provided, as stagnant 
water is fatal to success. The plants we offer are in 
4, 5 and 6-inch pots, and well established. 
ADIANTUM CUNEATUM. One of the most beautiful of 
all Maidenhair Ferns; the most popular and most 
generally grown by florists for decorations. 35 cts.

CRYTOMIUM FALCATUM (Aspidium; the Holly Fern). 
So-called because its bright, glossy green foliage re¬ 
sembles holly. 35 cts. to $1. 
NEPHROLEFIS EIALTATA (the true' Sword Fern). In 
well-grown specimens, the fronds attain a length of 
6 to 7 teet, but only 1 to 3 inches wide, and, like

graceful manner. 35 cts. to $1.
