THE 
eluant 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 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 nearly 
twice as wide, making it a much more desirable plant 
for all purposes. (See cut.) Price, 2-inch pots, 15c.
