G. & R. Fine Ferns—Continued 
Goodii, or “Baby’s Breath.” 
Nephrolepis Scholzeli 
The Crested -Fern 
The fronds, like in Scotti, stand erect, and with a 
graceful arch, forming- a plant of ideal shape, and 
they never break down, giving the plant a ragged 
appearance, as is so often the case with other plumed 
forms; furthermore, the loose, elegant arrangement 
of the fronds, allowing a free circulation of air 
through the foliage, prevents the center of even the 
largest specimens from becoming defective or yel¬ 
low. Two and one-quarter inch pots, 60 cents per 
dozen; $5.00 per hundred; $45.00 per thousand. 
Nephrolepis Piersonii 
The Gold Medal Fern 
This is a strain that we have, by selec¬ 
tion, improved so it runs back but very 
little. Two and one-quarter inch pots, 
75 cents per dozen; $5.00 per hundred; 
$45.00 per thousand. 
Nephrolepis Scotti 
The Newport Fern 
It is a rapid grower, and to see it in 
all stages of growth from a runner in 
the bench to a fourteen-inch pot speci¬ 
men will convince you that it will be in 
great demand as a house Fern. This has 
always been a favorite variety. Two 
and one-quarter inch pots. 75 cents per 
dozen; $5.00 per hundred; $45.00 per 
thousand. 
Nephrolepis Superbissirka 
The Fluffy Ruffles Fern 
Its distinguishing characteristics are 
its dark green foliage, darker than any 
other Fern, its dense growth being much 
more compact, and its irregular shaped 
fronds which give it the name of “Fluffy 
Ruffles Fern.” The fronds are very 
heavily imbricated, the pinnae overlap¬ 
ping, and are so formed as to resemble miniature 
Ferns, giving it the appearance of a Fern within a 
Fern. Two and one-quarter inch pots, $1.00 per 
dozen; $ 0.00 per hundred. 
Roosevelt. 
Nephrolepis “Roosevelt” 
The pinnae are beautifully undulated, giving the 
Roosevelt a pronounced wavy effect seen in no other 
Fern; as the plant ages this effect becomes quite 
distinct. Our sales of Roosevelt have exceeded two 
hundred and fifty thousand plants, a far greater 
number than was ever sold of a new Fern. Two 
and one-quarter inch pots, 75 cents per dozen; $5.00 
per hundred; $45.00 per thousand. Four-inch pots, 
$2.50 per dozen; $18.00 per hundred. Five-Inch pots, 
$3.50 per dozen; $25.00 per hundred. i 
The Baby’s Breath Fern 
This has the finest foliage of all the Ferns. It is 
so delicate that a lady on seeing it exclaimed, “Call 
it the Baby’s Breath Fern, as it is so dainty in tex- j 
ture that a gaby’s breath would set its fluffy foliage : 
in motion.” The fronds are very, fine and filmy, on 
which account it has been'called by some the Race 
Fern. Nothing is daintier or more exquisite than 
well-grown specimens of any size. Our reputation 
for it that no Fern in existence can compare with ! 
Baby’s Breath in flufflness. Two and one-quarter- ' 
inch pots, 75 cents per dozen; $5.50 per hundred; 
$50.00 per thousand. 
Nephrolepis Bostoniensis 
The Boston Fern 
A variety that needs no description. By many 
called the Fountain Fern on account when grown 
into large plants it droops gracefully. Two and 
one-quarter inch pots. 60 cents per dozen; $5.00 per 
hundred; $45.00 per thousand. Four-inch pots, $2.50 
per dozen; $18.00 per hundred. Five-Inch pots, $3.50 
per dozen; $25.00 per hundred
