Ornamental Ferns 
NEPHROLEPIS AMERPOHLI—NEW 
Here is one of the most irresistibly 
beautiful Ferns we ever saw. It belongs 
to the Ostrich Plume type, but we think it 
more charming than any former intro¬ 
duction. The pinnae are so finely divided 
as to make each broad graceful frond 
seem like a piece of most delicate lace 
work. The dense luxuriant foliage makes 
up a plant that will be enthusiastically 
admired amid the most elegant surround¬ 
ings. Price, 25c. and 35c. each, postpaid. 
50c. and $1.00 each, by express. 
“ WHITMAN!!/’ One oi the Finest 
and undoubtedly the most popular. 
Rather dwarf in growth, but graceful, 
very compact, dense and feathery. Each 
frond or branch has a double row of per¬ 
fect little fronds set at right angles to the 
midrib, 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. (See the 
illustration opposite, and also below, 
Frond No. 1). Price, 20c. and 30c. each, 
postpaid. Larger size, 50c., 75c. and 
$1.00, express.

trond No 3.) Price good strong plants 15c., 20c. and 25c. each, 
$1.00, by express.

New Nephrolepis Scholzeli 
The Crested Scott or Dwarf Boston Fern 
This is a sport from Nephrolepis Scottii illustrated on 
opposite page. It has the same dwarf dense compact 
habit, and in addition the pinnae of each frond are curled 
and crinkled, giving the plant a fluffy and crested appear¬ 
ance much like the Ostrich Plume Ferns. Its beautiful 
character is distinctly shown even in the small size plants. 
Price, 25c. and 35c. each, postpaid. Larger sizes, 50c. and 
$1.00 postpaid, or 75c. by express.

desirable variety for fern dishes. Price, 15c. each ;
