Mar. g. this country but is grown in large quan- tities for the London market and is con- sidered one of the most important ferns for house decoration. A. laxum pumilum, a beautiful species with finely cut fronds, pale glaucous green, is a fine table plant. Cibotium Schiedii, though it appears soft, has been found to stand well in dec- orations and the large fronds are remark- ably handsome. It is a very quick grower and profitable plant.

Bostoniensis is too well known to need any comment. N. davallioides furcans is an elegant variety withlong, archingpinnatelronds, the apices of the pinnte being forked and crested, and the fronds terminating in a branching crest; it makes a noble specimen plant.
