Nephrolepis Tuberosa Plumosa (Manda) 
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 are Ions' 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 collec¬ 
tion ferns. Fine plants, in 3-inch pots, 25c. each; $3.00 per dozen. Specimens, $1.00 to 
$3.00 each. 
Nephrolepis “M. P. Mills” ( Harris )

Whittmanii, but of wiry growth that does not break and one of the most durable of 
the plumose type.
