THE BOSTON ?€RE«. 
(Nephrolepis Exaltata Bosloniensis.) 
In the vicinity of Boston no other plant is used so 
extensively as this graceful Nephrolepis, which dif¬ 
fers from the ordinary fern in having much longer 
fronds, which frequently attain a length of four feet. 
These fronds arch and droop over very gracefully, on 
account of which it is frequently called the fountain 
fern. This drooping habit makes it an excellent 
plant to grow as a single specimen on a table or 
pedestal. 15c., 2 for 25c, New.
