FERN, NEPHROLEPIS PIERSONI 
THREE NEW 
FERNS 
Nephrolepis Piersoni. Winner of 
numerous Gold Medals, and highest 
awards wherever exhibited. This 
Fern is the most valuable plant 
novelty introduced 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. Each, $1.00. 
Anna Foster. This is a sport of the 
Boston Fern, discovered in Novem¬ 
ber 1900, growing in a bunch with 
the older variety. Each of the in¬ 
dividual 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. Each, 75 cents. 
“Ostrich Feather.” To our mind this is the fi. 7 iest Sword Fern 
grown. The fronds in good-sized specimens reach a length of three 
or four feet, and are so finely cut as to resemble ostrich feathers. A 
magnificent plant in any size. It is entirely distinct from the Boston 
Fern, and all who have grown that grand variety should have the 
Ostrich Feather as a companion. A very rare variety. 
Each, 35 cents; two for 60 cents. 
Nothing that has ever been brought to our notice in the plant line 
has caused half the commotion that this wonderful Lemon has. It is 
a true everbearing variety. On a plant six feet high no less than 
eighty-nine of these ponderous lemons were growing at one time. It 
was a beautiful sight. The tree was blooming, and at the same time 
had fruit in all stages of development, from the size of a pea up to the 
ripe fruit. Fruit weighing over four pounds has been taken from this 
tree. The lemons have very thin rind for such large fruit. It is the 
juiciest of all lemons, makes delicious lemonade, and for culinary 
purposes cannot be excelled. Ponderosa Lemon is sure to become 
popular when it is known. It fruits when quite small, and makes a 
lovely house plant. Everybody can grow their own lemons. 
Thrifty young plants, each, 25 cents; two for 40 cents. 
OTAHEITE ORANGE 
Tile great beauty, novelty, and popularity of this plant is, indeed, 
wonderful. It blooms most freely during winter, though it is likely 
to bloom at any and all times of year. With one or two pots of it any 
one can raise an abundance of the far-famed delicate and fraerant 
o 
orange blossoms. It is a dwarf orange, which grows, blooms, and 
fruits freely in pots. Fruit about one-half the size of ordinary oranges. 
Strong plants, each, 15 cents : extra strong plants, 
each, 35 cents.
