THE GOOD & REESE CO.’S WHOLESALE TRADE LIST. 
Nephrolepis Superbissima 
THE “FLUFFY 
RUFFLES FERN ” 
The “Philadelphia Lace Fern.” 
Nephrolepis Todeaoides 
THE “LONDON FERN” 
A feathery fronded variety similar to the Ostrich Plume va¬ 
riety, the fronds being more stiff and erect and the pinnae 
more finely divided. A fine Ostrich Plume sort, and we recom¬ 
mend it in all respects. Two and one-quarter-inch pots, 60 
cents per dozen; $4.50 per hundred; $40.00 per thousand. 
Nephrolepis Piersonii 
THE “GOLD MEDAL FERN” 
This Fern received a gold medal from the 
Society of American Florists and Ornamental 
Horticulturists at their meeting in Asheville, N. 
C., 1902, and is the only gold medal ever 
awarded by them for any plant whatsoever. An 
entirely new form of the Boston Fern. The 
pinnae subdivide, making miniature fronds 
which are superimposed on the main fronds, 
looking as if two or even three were condensed 
In one, giving the plant a graceful, feathery 
and plumy effect. Two and one-quarter*inch 
pots, 60 cents per dozen; $4.00 per hundred; 
$35.00 per thousand. 
This new Fern is quite different from all other Ferns. Its 
distinguishing characteristics are its dark green foliage, darker 
than any other Fern, its dense growth being much more com¬ 
pact, and its irregular shaped fronds which give it the name 
of “Fluffy Ruffles Fern.” The fronds are very heavily imbri¬ 
cated, the pinnae overlapping and are so formed as to resemble 
muiiature Ferns, giving it the appearance of a Fern within a 
Fern. The plant is very sturdy in its habit and the fronds 
firm and rigid, never break down, so that it will stand more 
knocking around than any other Fern. Two and one-quarter- 
inch pots, 75 cents per dozen; $5.50 per hundred; $50.00 per 
thousand. 
Nephrolepis Whitmanii 
Nephrolepis Goodii 
THE “BABY’S BREATH FERN ” 
This has the finest foliage of all the Ferns. It is so delicate 
that a lady on seeeing it exclaimed, “Call it the Baby’s 
Breath Fern, as it is so dainty in texture that a baby'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 Lace Fern. It is an improved variety and the best of its 
type. Nothing is daintier or more exquisite than well grown 
specimens in any size. Our reputation for it that no Fern in 
existence can compare with “Baby's Breath” in fluffiness. Two 
and one-quarter-mch pots, 75 cents per dozen; $5.50 per hun¬ 
dred; $50.00 per thousand. 
THE “OSTRICH PLUME FERN » 
Nephrolepis Davallioides Furcans 
A great Fern. In fact, it is a plant that appeals to every¬ 
one, and on that account will prove a much more valuable 
and profitable plant than the Boston Fern, which has had the 
most phenomenal sale of any decorative plant that has ever 
been grown, but which cannot be compared to the Ostrich 
Fern for beauty and general effectiveness. Everyone who has 
seen it is charmed with it. As someone has expressed it 
“There is nothing like the Ostrich Plume Fern in cultivation. 
In decorative effect it so far outdistances the original variety 
that there is positively no comparison to be made. We con¬ 
sider it. the most valuable novelty that has been introduced in 
many, many years.” It has taken gold medals wherever shown. 
Two and one-quarter-jnch pots, 60 cents per dozen; $4.00 per 
hundred; $35.00 per thousand.

per dozen, $4.50 per hundred; $40.00 per thousand. 
Nephrolepis Scotti 
THE “NEWPORT FERN” 
Of much dwarfer and bushier growth than the 
Boston Fern. The fronds droop gracefully, and 
are not as long and heavy as the Boston. It is 
a rapid grower, and to see it in all stages of 
growth from a runner in the bench to a four¬ 
teen-inch pot specimen 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 Elegantissima Compacta 
The “Tarrytown Fern” 
The fronds are considerably shorter than 
those of Elegantissima, and throw a great many 
more crowns, making it a very bushy, com¬ 
pact, 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 
; $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 sprang. It is en¬ 
tirely different from any of its progeny, having 
narrow fronds that are long and of very erect 
growth. For this 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 
thousand.
