It makes re ag- niflcent specimens, easily grown and very popular. Price, 16c each. Sword Fern, Nephrolepsis Cordata ComT>acta —Eegarded by some as the finest of all the feword Ferns; it is of free, strong growing, compact habit, attaining, when full grown, a height of about two feet. The fronds which are of a dark-green color, are very rich, of upright growth, with just f-ufiacient arch in them to make them graceful. As for a Fern for house cultui-e or for window gardening, we do not know of any other variety that would give the same satisfaction. Price, nice plants, 15c each; large plants, 25c. The Popular Boston Sword Fern, Nephro- lepsis Exaltata Bostoniensis—In the vicinity of Boston no other plant is used so extensively as this grace- ful Nephrolepsis, 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, on account of which it is frequently called the'Fountain Fern. This drooping habit makes it an ex- cellent plant to grow as a single specimen on a table or pedestal. Price, nice plants, 15c; larger size, ?=0c; fine large specimens, by express only, 50c.
