Ever since .Vep/nv/i'pis Scotti was introduced we have re- commended it as preferable to the Boston Fern as a house plant, being of dwarf, dense, compact habit, which feature makes it very desirable for the window or table where room is limited. In this new form, a sport from Scotti, we have all the desirable features of the parent, with finely crested fronds similar to the Ostrich Plume Kern. Its leaves are held erect with a graceful arch, forming a plumy globe, which is as pretty in a small plant in a 3-inch pot as it is in a specimen plant of largest size. We are convinced that this new variety will hold the same position to the so-called Crested or Ostrich Plume Ferns that Scotti now holds to the Boston Kern.
