GLEANINGS ON FOLIAGE PLANTS 

 AND FERNS. 



Xephrolepis Smitlii, according to 

 Robert Craig, Jr., is one of the very 

 best for use in small sizes for baskets 

 and table ferneries. It is exceedingly 

 graceful in appearance, filmy, and a 

 good laster. 



Teddy Junior is another good one 

 among the newer Bostons. It is just 

 as dwarf as Scotti but has that wave 

 to the frond which is an added charm 

 and the finishing touch. It is also a 

 quicker grower and gives more youuK 

 growths. 



Schoelzeli sells well and is popular 

 everywhere except around New York. 

 This is rather strange, seeing that it 

 was in that city that it was first in- 

 troduced. 



Of the crested type of Nephrolepls 

 the leader is robusta as far as selling 

 quality is concerned. It is a very quick 

 grower also. 



Pteris Parkeri is making new 

 friends right along. Tough as an As- 

 pidistra, and that is saying something 

 almost unbelievable about a fern. A 

 sample plant that Alphonse Pericat 

 sent in to the Philadelphia Florists' 

 Club stood over a steam register in 

 the Library Room all winter and 

 spring and came through looking ele- 

 gant. A wonderful thing. Tougher 

 than leather. We noticed a fine lot of 

 them out at Craig's. 



All the crotons seem to be in better 

 than usual form this year. Maybe it's 

 the season, maybe the good culture, 

 maybe the fine fresh air at Norwood, 

 maybe all combined. Anyway, they are 

 certainly fine and there are quite a lot 

 of new seedlings of great merit. The 

 croton is certainly a wonderful foliage 

 plant. All the colors of the rainbow 

 and, as for form: old Dame Nature was 

 certainly in her friskiest mood when 

 she played that wonderful tune — from 

 bang to twitter and back again — and 

 then threw in a few corkscrews for 

 good measure.
