Nephrolepis rufescens tripinnatifida. NEPHROLEPIS cordifolia, continued some. The late Peter Henderson considered this the best of all Sword Perns for the home. It makes splendid specimens. 15 cts., 20 cts. and 30 cts. each. N. Davallioides furcans. A grand decorative Pern, with the ends of the leaves or leaflets curi- ously divided and ci'ested; splendid. Greatly in demand as a basket or jardiniere Pern. We have a magnificent stock of all Nephrolepis. Nice plants, 15 cts., 25 cts., 35 cts. and 50 cts. each. N. Duffii. A tufted species, with branched fronds of good substance. A very pretty small species, which should be in every collection. 10 cts. and 20 cts. each. N. exaltata. The famed Sword Fern, native to all parts of the tropics. Universally grown as a basket plant, and with long leaves of fine appear- ance. We grow this largely. 10 cts. and 15 cts. each. N. exaltata Bostoniensis. The famed "Boston Fern." This differs from the type only in attaining greater size and length of fronds. It is a splendid decorative plant, especially fine for baskets, or when placed on a tall pedestal. 15 cts., 25 cts. and 40 cts each. See illustration on next page. N. rufescens tripinnatifida. To our mind the finest Sword Fern grown. It is even prettier than ..Y.

The largest of all Sword Ferns, attaining a height of G or 8 feet, and as hand- some as a palm. It makes a grand, showy specimen with broad leaves. New and very rare. 50 cts. each. ONYCHIUM Japonicum. A species with deli- cate, fine, dark green leaves; admirable for cutting. Grows to a foot or more in height; rather hardy. 15 cts. each. OSMUNDA cinnamomea.* The Cinnamon Fekn.
