We are quite proud of our collection of ferns. While most of them are unusual, none have 
proved difficult to grow. We do not have a large stock, so early ordering is advisable. 
ADIANTUM gracillimum—tThe finest of all the maidenhair. New fronds have a distinct rosy tinge. 
Very filmy. Every one likes this one. $.50 each. 
A. grandiceps—This is really choice. Fronds are gracefully arched and have much cresting on the 
ends. Should be grown in a basket to do it justice. Exquisite. $1.50. 
A. Cunninghami—Another beautiful, extremely rare variety which must be grown in a wire basket 
as it creeps underground and new fronds emerge from the sides of the basket, eventually 
covering the whole container. Stems shining ebony and leaflets rich green. $1.50. 
A. caudatum—This too should be grown in a wire basket as new plants form on the ends of the 
fronds. It is a rapid grower and very lovely. Makes an entirely different appearing 
basket. $.75. 
A. hispidulum—A small growing variety. Forked stems with fan like leaflets. A variety fine for 
small pots or dish gardens. $.75 
ALSOPHILA aastralis—Tree Fern. This beautiful variety makes a handsome specimen. May be 
grown outdoors in milder climates or in tubs indoors, when a large one is wanted. Fronds 
very graceful, arching, and stems thickly covered with brown hair. Gallon can $2.50. 
DICKSONIA antarctica—This is a hardier variety than the former, but smaller in all its parts. It is 
equally lovely and just as easily grown. They have only one thing in common and that is 
their habit of growth. Gallon cans $3.00. 
CIBOTIUM Schiedei—The so-called King of Ferns. A handsome pot fern with lacy fronds of rich 
green. It is really a tree fern, but the trunk grows very slowly. However, the fronds develop 
rapidly. It will take a great deal of abuse. A wonderful house fern. $2.50. 
C. Barometz—Vase shaped fern. Fronds are beautifully cut and will eventually reach eight feet. 
However, it is not a rapid grower and so can be kept in a pot for a long time. We like it 
better than the variety Schiedez. $2.00.
