The Sword Ferns
The old widely popular sword fern was Nephrolepis exaltata, but the
original form has been almost entirely replaced by new varieties
developed from it, the most widely known of which is the Boston fern
(N. ex. var. Bostoniensis). The wide popularity of this fern is due to
both its beauty and its hardiness, as it will stand more ill usage than
any other house fern. It grows rapidly and makes a handsome plant at
all stages of development.
