New Crested Fern 25c 
I think this the most popular Fern. Rather 
dwarf in growth, but graceful, very compact, 
dense and feathery. Each frond or branch 
has a double row of perfect little fronds set 
at right angles to the mid rib, and so thick 
they seem almost crowded. It is a healthy, 
vigorous grower, constantly unfolding fresh 
fronds of light green that contrast exquisitely 
with the deep green of the older fronds. It 
is somewhat like Roosevelt, but decidedly 
more fluffy, more delicate and beautiful.

paid. Larger plants, 99c and $1.49 each, by
