Strong plants, $1 25 each. THE NEW BOSTON OR SWORD PERN. (Nephrolepis Piersoni.) This most important addition to our list of Ferns in many years is supposed to be a "sport" from that most popular of all decorative plants, the Boston Fern. The plant pos- sesses the same characteristic vigor of growth, with long fronds, but with each pinna or leaflet subdivided, so as to form a perfect miniature frond. This is shown rather imper- fectly in the illustration, though it conveys a faint idea of the grace and beauty of the feathery plume-like fronds, which can only be compared to a magnificent ostrich plume. Owing to this fullness of the fronds, even small plants are well furnished, making much more symmetrical and beautiful plants than the Boston Fern, and when fully developed with fronds six inches across, the weight of which makes them arch gracefully, the effect is truly superb. The plant has been awarded several gold and silver medals. Ready for distribution in February, 1903. Strong young plants, in 2j-inch pots, each. Strong plants, in 4-inch pots, § each.
