NEW HYBRID GLOXINIA. 
It is in essence a condensed form of the 
Boston fern, with valuable characteristics 
added, which are not evident in the parent, 
an average plant in an 8-inch pot having 200 fronds which average about 
20 inches in length and 3 inches in width at the widest point; the pinna? are 
very closely set, so that they overlap, making a more finished frond than the 
parent. Plants in 4-inch pots showed a spread of 18 inches and a height of 
10 to 12 inches. It has a crispness and hardness about it which is superior to 
the parent, and which is one of its very valuable characteristics. Price, 
plants from 2-inch pots, 20c. each, $2.00 per doz.; 3-inch pots, 30c. each, $3.00 
per doz.; 4-inch pots, 50c. each, $5.00 per doz.; 5-inch pots, $1.00 each, $9.00

THE NEW, ELEGANT, PLUMED FERN. 
Nephrolepis Piersoni Elegantissima. This 
is a sport from the Pierson Fern, in which 
the plumy peculiarity of the original form 
is even more distinctly developed than 
in the original ; the side pinnae being 
again subdivided and standing at right 
angles to the direction of the midrib, 
makes both sides of the frond equally 
beautiful, while, at the same time, 
the plant is of much more compact 
habit, growing only one-half as tall, 
but with the fronds nearly twice as 
wide, making it a much more desir¬ 
able plant for all purposes. {See cut.) 
Price, 2-inch pots, 50c. each, $4.50 
per doz.; 3-inch pots, 75c. each, $7.50 
per doz.; 5-inch pots, $1.50 each; 6- 
mch pots, $2.00 each.
