Nephrolepis Piersoni. ^ The most important addition to our list of Ferns for many years, and a plant which will supercede that most popular of all decorative plants, the Boston Fern, from which it is supposed to be a sport. The plant possesses the same vigorous growth that is characteristic of the Boston Fern, with long graceful fronds, but with each pinna; or leaflet subdividing, so as to form a perfect miniature frond. This characteristic of the frond is well shown in our illustration, though it conveys but a slight idea of the grace and beauty of the feathery plume-like fronds, which can only be compared to the graceful ostrich plume. The fronds grow broad and heavy, and measure when fully developed, at least 6 inches across, increasing in beauty as they develop. On account of the weight of the foliage the plant assumes an exceedingly graceful appearance, and, owing to the fulness of the fronds, even small plants are well furnished, making much more symmetrical and beautiful plants than the Boston Fern. ' The plant has been awarded Gold Medals by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, Society of American Florists and Ornamental Horticulturists, Great Kansas City Chrysanthemum Show and a Silver Medal at the New York Chrysanthemum Show.
