The “Fish Tail Fern,’’ 
Nephrolepis DavalHoides Furcans 
This is a grand Fern, entirely distinct from any of the 
other varieties of Nephrolepis. Throughout the South and 
especially 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. (Jrund for house culture. Two and one-quarter> 
inch pots, 60c per dozen; $4.50 per 100; $40.00 per 1,000. 
The “Boston Fern,” 
Nephrolepis Bostoniensis 
In the vicinitj' of Boston no other plant is so extensively 
used as this graceful Nephrolepis, which differs from the or¬ 
dinary 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 F'ern. 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 to the Ostrich 
riume F'ern, as they are of an entirely different growth; both 
have their place and both are beautiful and desirable. Two 
and ono-quarter-inch pots, 60 cents per dozen; $4.00 per 
hundred; $35.00 per thousand. Sixdnch pots. $4.50 per doz¬ 
en; $35.00 per hundred. 
The “Tarrytown Fern,” 
Nephrolepis Elegantissima 
Compacta 
The fronds are considerably shorter than those of Elegantia- 
sima, and throw a great many more crowns, making it a 
very bushy, compact, symmetrical plant. It forms a round 
mass of foliage that makes It particularly desirable and 
valuable. One of the really great Ferns. Two and one- 
quarter-inch pots. 60 cents per dozen; $4.50 per hundred; 
$40.b0 per thousand.
