For the grower of Ferns for cutting tliis new Maiden Hair will undoubtedly prove a most important addition; it closely resembles Adiantum Farleyense and will make a splendid substitute for that ?fanc}- variety, and it can be produced at much less cost, as it will thrive under conditions in which Adiantum Farleyense could not exist. At our Riverview Nursery we have given it a very fair trial for this purpose during the past winter. A block of these plants were planted on a bench in a house devoted to the ordinary Boston Fern and received the ordinary treatment and temperature given to the Nephrolepis, and under this treatment thev developed not only fronds of great beauty on longer, stiffer stems than Farleyense produces, but also many more fronds than would be developed by that variety in the same length of time under the most favorable condition. Anyone who successfully grows the ordinary varieties of Adiantum, such as Cuneatum, Croweanum, and Hvbridum, can grow it under preciseh' the same conditions given to these sorts. We have a fine block of about 30,000 young plants, 2'4-inch pots, at $
