The “Gold Medal Fern,” 
NEPHROLEPIS PIERSONII 
All know how badly this Fern ran back, and it was discarded 
by most all growers for that reason. We have by selection 
over a period of years secured stock of this grand Fern that 
runs back very little if any. 
This Fern received a gold medal from the Society of Ameri¬ 
can Florists and Ornamental Horticulturists, and is the only 
Kold medal ever awarded by them for any plant whatsoever. 
An entirely new form of the Boston Fern. The pinnae sub¬ 
divide. 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. Four-inch pots, $2.50 per dozen; 
$18.00 per hundred. 
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 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 effective. 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. Four-inch 
pots, $2.50 per dozen; $20.00 per hundred.
