NEW 
ELEGANT 
PLUMED FERN. 
Kephrolepis Piersoni Elegantissima. This is a sport from 
the Pierson Fern, in which the plumy peculiarity of the 
original form is even more distinctly develoj^ed than in the 
original; the side pinnae l‘>eing again subdivided and stand¬ 
ing 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 nearlv 
twice as wide, making it a much more de.sirable plant 
for all purposes. {See c^it.) Price, 2-inch pots, 15c
