BOSTON FERN, lo^^r.ll.s^s.
One of the most useful and ornamental
of the "Sword Ferns." It is now grown
by the thousand for the market in all the
large cities, and is steadily increasing in
popularity. In well-grown specimens
the fronds attain a length of six or seven
feet, like plumes arching over in every
direction, in a most graceful manner.
This beautiful Fern is excellent for out-
side planting in shady borders. It is a
very fine plant for hanging pots or baskets
on the piazza in summer and conservatory
or window in winter. (^See cut.)
