NEW FERNS 
Polypodium Mandaianum, in 8 in. pan. 
The above illustration shows a plant in 8 in. pan with a spread 
of 3 % ft. across grown in one season from a very small plant. The 
plant originated as a seedling from Polypodium aureum glaucum. It 
is a very free grower making a fine specimen plant from a 5 in. pot or 
pan up to the largest size that may be wanted. It can also be grown 
as a basket fern or on boards like a Stag Horn Fern and requires 
only an ordinary treatment as given to ferns with a temperature of 
60 to 75 degrees. The fronds vary in size from 6 in. to 3 ft. in length 
beautifully fringed and of handsome, glaucous, blue color, distinct from 
any fern in cultivation. Not only as plants that we recommend 
this novelty but also for the cut fronds which will last a month 
fresh in water, and this account will be found most valuable for 
decorative purposes on account of its durability, beauty and distinct 
character rivaling the famous Adiantum Farleyense. 
We are booking orders for future delivery which will be announced 
later. All orders filled in strict rotation as received. Price of plants in 
pans 4 -in., $1.00 each, $10.00 per dozen, 5 -in., $2.00 each, 6 -in., $3.00 
each, specimens in 8 in., pans, $5.00 each.
