Sword Fern, Nephrolepis exaltata: This fern provides birds with hiding areas and nesting materials.

“For that graceful, slightly to more fully weeping look, just seeing a Nephrolepis fern in a container on a top of a pedestal brings 'Downton Abbey' to mind.”

Great business is done in bulbs—mostly imported from Holland—stove and greenhouse plants, hardy perennials, orchids, ferns of the “fancy” and “dagger” types of Nephrolepis, and in carnations and roses.
