Adiantum gloriosum—A magnificent new Maidenhair Fern of very pleasing appearance, 
producing fronds from 2 to 8 feet in length by about 1 foot broad. Pale olive green, tipped 
when young pale pink. In a young state the plants are more’ spreading than Adiantum 
elegans and the pmnw larger. ‘The plants furnish much better than that variety, makine it 
an invaluable plant for market growers. When grown into specimens it makes one of the 
finest of exhibition ferns, and for furnishing cut sprays it has no equal among the Maidenhair 
Ferns. Itis of quick, easy growth and very attractive, and should be in every collection of 
greenhouse ferns. 5s, each, * 
Adiantum nebulosum—A most elegant Fern, with very light and graceful fronds. ‘The 
multiplicity of minute pinules and the almost invisible ramifications of the rachis impart to 
the plant a peculiarly charming appearance. The texture of the fronds, which are about 
1 foot long, and 8 to 9 inches across, is thin and very fragile. ‘Che color is very pale olive
