Ornamental and Flowering Plants 
LACE FERN 
Asparagus plumosus 
nanus. Beautiful on ac¬ 
count of its light feath¬ 
ery growth, which very 
much resembles lace. 
The graceful dark 
green foliage surpasses 
the Maiden-Hair Fern 
in delicacy of texture. 
Splendid as a pot plant 
and for decorative pur¬ 
poses. Each, 20 cents; 
two for 30 cents. 
RUBBER PLANT 
Ficus elastica. 
One of the best plants 
grown for table or house 
decoration. It succeeds 
well with ordinary treat¬ 
ment. The glossy green 
leaves seem especially 
formed to resist the dust 
and gas to which plants 
in dwelling-houses are 
exposed. Strong plants, 
50c, 75c, and $1.00 each. 
Decorative 
Ferns cannot be dispensed with in elaborate decorations 
for the parlor. A single plant of the Sword Fern is as use¬ 
ful in producing a graceful effect as any plant we know of. 
In planting a fernery do not crowd them, but give room 
for the development of the fronds; their growth is rapid, 
and many varieties soon double their original size. Be 
your own florist and fill your fern dishes at home. Five 
of the best and hardiest varieties arc sufficient to fill a fern 
dish eight inches in diameter. Each, iscts.; dozen, $1.50. 
Adiantum cuneatum. The popular Maiden-Hair Fern, 
Aspidium Tsussimense. A pretty species, with dark 
green foliage. 
Onychium Japonicum. A graceful Fern, with finely 
cut foliage. 
Polystichum setosum. Foliage dark green. 
Pteris tremula. A standard variety, with handsome 
fronds of a deep green color. 
Pteris argyrea. Large, bold foliage, with broad band 
of white through center of each frond. 
Pteris Cretica albo-lineata. A pretty and useful vari¬ 
egated variety ; leaves green and white.

Pteris Wimsetti. Fine for fern pans and house culture ; 
finely crested. 
iVC2 >h volepiH Fiersoni. The winner of numerous 
Gold Medals, and highest awards wherever exhibited. 
This Fern is the most valuable plant novelty intro¬ 
duced in many years. It is very beautiful, is distinct 
from the Boston Fern, and we believe it will be even 
more popular than that old favorite. The fronds are 
a rich green in color, and are more finely cut and 
divided than are those of the Boston Fern. It is a 
free and quick grower, and succeeds admirably as a 
house plant. Strong young plants 20 cents each. 
Extra strong plants each $1.00. 
MOSS FERN 
Selaginella Emiliana. Although this is commonly 
called a Moss Fern it belongs to the Lycopodium 
family. It is a handsome plant, of upright growth, 
graceful and pretty. Useful for fernery. Each 15 cts. 
BOSTON DROOPING FERN 
One of the most satisfactory of all decorative plants for 
house-culture. The handsome green fronds attain a length 
of four to five feet, and droop gracefully over on every 
side. Each, 20 cents ; large plants, 75 cents. 
Anna Foster . This is a sport of the Boston Fern, 
discovered in November, 1900, growing in a bench 
with the older variety. Each of the individual pinnae 
is a perfect miniature reproduction of the full frond 
as seen in the Boston Fern, unrolling in the same 
manner. This variety is a wonderful grower, the 
fronds often growing from four to six feet in length in 
one season. A charming novelty. Strong young 
plants, 20 cts. each. Extra strong plants, each 75 cts. 
FUCHSIAS 
Each, 15 cents ; dozen, £1.50.

inches long, are a brilliant crimson-scarlet. Altogether 
it is a very unique plant, and a fine addition to the 
window-garden or conservatory.

greater part of the winter.

of good-sized flowers of beautiful form.
