Popular House Ferns • 
THE POPULAR BOSTON SWORD FERN (Nephrolepis 
Exaltata Bostoniensis)—In the vicinity of Boston no 
other plant is used so extensively as this graceful Ne- 
phrolepsis, which differs from the ordinary Fern in 
having much longer fronds, which frequently attain a 
length of four feet. These fronds arch and droop over 
very gracefully. It is frequently called the Fountain 
Fern. Small, 15c each; large, 40c each. 
THE “ROOSEVELT FERN” (Nephrolepsis Roosevelt) — 
In general characteristics it resembles the Boston Fern, 
but wth two points of great excellence over that va¬ 
riety. First it produces many more fronds, making it a 
bushier and handsomer plant; then the pinnae are un¬ 
dulated, giving it a pronounced wavy effect seen in no 
other fern. Small, 15c each; large, 40c. 
OSTRICH PLUME FERN (Whitmanii)—Gracefully di¬ 
vided pinnae, giving the whole plant an airy lace-like 
appearance; makes beautiful symmetrical plants even 
in small sizes. Small, 15c each; large, 40c. 
COLORADO—A new fancy fern of general form and 
character of Whitmanii, but upright and sturdy as the 
Boston. Fronds are wide, tapering in to tip. Leaflets 
alternating on stems. Main leaflets are smaller replicas 
of whole frond, projecting at right angles to stem. 
Center of each frond dark green; the outer two-thirds 
light green. No stem weakness or delicacy. Small, 20c 
each; large, 50c. 
SPARROWII—It has dark green foliage which, with its beautiful crested fronds, makes it a most unique, 
distinct and desirable Fern. Its robustness makes it easily grown by amateurs. Small, 15c each; large, 
40c each. 
INNISFALLEN—This handsome, new variety originated with us. It is of the Elegantissima type, a strong 
and rapid grower, handsome green foliage, and has a stiff midrib which makes the fronds stand up better 
than most varieties of Ferns. Small, 15c each; large, 40c each. 
Roosevelt Fern.

10c each; set of 5 for 45c. 
VICTORIEA—Has narrow graceful foliage of a deep green color, elegantly 
variegated with silver white. One of the prettiest of the variegated 
varieties. 
CRYTOMIUM FALCATUM (Holly Fern)—The leaf is a rich, glossy green, 
and each leaflet is about the shape and size of a rose leaf. The fronds 
are fine for cutting on account of their lasting quality. 
PTERIS WILSONI—One of the most dwarf of this class, having deep 
green foliage, leaves heavily crested, giving it the appearance of a tassel.
