Another fern developed from the Boston is Whitmani, in which the
fronds are not so long but the foliage is so finely divided that it
gives a decided plumey effect. The Whitmani is perhaps the best of
this type for house culture as the others, under adverse conditions, are
likely to revert to the Boston type of frond. Piersoni and
Elegantissima are exceptionally beautiful, but must be given careful
attention. Scholzeli, sometimes called the Crested Scott fern, is very
beautiful and well worth trying.
