Nephrolepis Tuberosa Plumosa (IVIanda) 
Nephrolepis Tuberosa Plumosa ( Manda ) 
This beautiful fern is quite distinct from all of the other varieties of the Boston Fern 
in so much that it has been raised from the Japan species N. Tuberosa, which type is 
much hardier than the Exaltata. 
The fronds are long and narrow; the pinnules beautiful plumose which are of light 
color, giving the fronds a beautiful effect on account of the two distinct shades as well 
as its graceful waviness, and will be found a great and distinct addition to collection ferns. 
Fine plants, in 3-inch pots, 50c. each; $5.00 per dozen. Specimens, $1.00 to $3.00 each. 
Nephrolepis “M. P. Mills” ( Harris ) 
This is one of the gems of this large family of ferns. In aspect like a miniature 
Whittmanii. but of wiry growth that does not break and one of the most durable of the 
plumose type. 
Award of Merit from the Horticultural Society of London. 2%-inch pots, 25c. each; 
$2.50 per dozen. 4 and 5-inch pots, $1.00 each. 
Cyrtomium Rochfordii 
A crested Holly Fern having large broad pinnae which is much finer divided and more 
ornamental. This plant needs only a cool temperature. Fine plants. 25c. each; $2.50 per 
dozen. 
Polystichum Varium 
Introduced by me from South Africa. One of the hardiest and most useful ferns in 
cultivation, growing to medium size with rather broad pinnate fronds which are of a 
beautiful red color when the fronds are young. Strong plants, 50c. each; $5.00 per dozen. 
Larger specimens, $1.00 to $3.00 each. 
Pteris Parkeri 
Resembles Pteris major somewhat in form, but the fronds are slightly serrated. They 
are, however, much larger, more massive in appearance and of a very leathery texture. 
Strong plants, 75c. each; $7.50 per dozen.
