THE GOOD & REESE COMPANY WHOLESALE TRADE LIST 
Nephrolepis Scholzeli 
The Crested Fern 
It is a sport from Scotti, possessing the merits of that most 
popular variety, but with the pinnae subdivided, giving it a 
fine crested appearance. The fronds, like in Scotti, stand 
erect, with a graceful arch, forming a plant of ideal shape, 
and they never break down, giving the plant a ragged ap¬ 
pearance, 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, pre¬ 
vents the center of even the largest specimens from becoming 
defective or yellow. The smallest salable plants perfectly 
express the type, and in every size are models of beauty for 
table decorations. Two and one-quarter inch pots, 60 cents 
per dozen: $4.50 per hundred: $40.00 per thousand. 
Nephrolepis Whitmanii Compacta 
The Parlor Fern 
This is a condensed form of the ‘Ostrich Plume Fern,” 
with valuable characteristics added which are not evident in 
the parent: the pinnae subdividing, making miniature fronds 
which are superimposed on the main fronds, looking as if 
two or more were condensed in one. Graceful beyond de¬ 
scription. Two and one-quarter inch pots, 60 cents per doz¬ 
en; $4.50 per hundred; $40.00 per thousand. 
Nephrolepis Exaltata 
The Old Original Sword Fern 
This is the "old original Sword Fern,” the "daddy” of them 
all, the one plant from which all the Nephrolepis we offer 
sprung. It is entirely different from any of its progeny, hav¬ 
ing narrow fronds that are long and of very erect growth. For 
♦his reason it is more largely used as a centerpiece in vases 
than are any of its descendants. Two and one-quarter inch 
pots, 50 cents per dozen; $3.50 per hundred; $30.00 per thou¬ 
sand. 
Nephrolepis Bostoniensis 
The Boston Fern 
In the vicinity of Boston no other plant is so extensively 
used as this graceful Nephrolepis, which differs from the ordi¬ 
nary Sword Fern in having much longer fronds, which fre¬ 
quently attain a length of six feet. These arch and droop over 
very gracefully, on account of which it is frequently called the 
Fountain Fern. This drooping habit makes it an excellent 
plant to grow as a single specimen on a table or pedestal. This 
Fern should not be compared with the Ostrich Plume Fern, as 
they are of an entirely different growth: both have their place 
and both are beautiful and desirable. Two and one-quarter 
inch pots, 60 cents per dozen; $4.50 per hundred; $40.00 per 
thousand. 
The Wanamaker Fern. 
The "Crested Fern,” Nephrolepis Scholzeli. 
New Nephrolepis 
John Wanamaker 
“The Wanamaker Fern” 
The introducer's description : "We will introduce the above 
Fern in August, 1915. In presenting this Fern to the trade, 
we feel confident that it will make a place for itself. A ‘sport' 
from Nephrolepis Scholzeli, with longer, narrower, gracefully 
drooping fronds. It is not so compact in growth as Scholzeli, 
and, therefore, does not decay in the center, and is a durable 
house Fern. It is a rapid grower, making an abundance of 
fronds, and is quite distinct from any other Nephrolepis-.” 
Strong plants from 2'/ 4 -inch pots, $1.00 per dozen; $6.00 per 
hundred; $55.00 per thousand. 
Nephrolepis Davallioides Furcans 
The Fish Tail Fern 
This is a grand Fern, entirely distinct from any of the other 
varieties of Nephrolepis. Throughout the South, and espe¬ 
cially at New Orleans, this Fern takes precedence over all 
others. The ends of the pinnae are so formed as to resemble 
a fish tail, giving the fronds a crested appearance, very ef¬ 
fective. It grows into the'most shapely plant of any of the 
Nephrolepis. Grand for house culture. Two and one-quarter 
inch pots, 60 cents per dozen; $4.50 per hundred; $40.00 per 
thousand.

ceed fifty thousand plants. Our stock is in prime condition,
