f\ ChristiTias Present 



May be useful as well as attractive in appearance, but very 

 frequently it isn't. If it isn't it soon finds its way to the attic to 

 mingle with the presents of other years. Now why not give some- 

 thing this year that is both beautiful and useful ? If you have a 

 friend who is interested in ferns send him "Our Ferns in Their 

 Haunts." The 225 illustrations alone will cause him to give it a 

 prominent place among his books, while its comprehensive treat- 

 ment of our ferns, will insure that it will be often consulted. And 

 every time this happens the giver will be thought of with pleasure. 

 Isn't it worth trying? The book is sent prepaid for $2.15. Order 

 now before the mails become overcrowded. Address,
