A Grand New Dwarf Fern, "Teddy Jr." 



"TEDDY JUNIOR, " the Fern for Ev^y House- 

 hold — It is a sport from the now famous Roose- 

 velt Fern, and while its habit of growth is to 

 produce a shorter frond, it retains all the valu- 

 able characteristics of the parent plant. The 

 fronds are broad and beautifully tapered from 

 base to tip; they droop Just enough to make a 

 shapely, graceful plant, permitting it to ' finish 

 with a fine full center and perfect symmetrical 

 spread. The pinnae are distinctly undulated, 

 giving the fronds an attractive wavy appear- 

 ance, which adds materially to their charming 

 decorative efTect, and thin, scraggy foliage is 

 never seen in this variety. "Teddy" will pro- 

 duce about four times more fronds than any 

 other Fern ever introduced, finishing with fifty 

 to sixty fronds In a four-inch pot, while twelve 

 to fifteen is the average number other varieties 

 will produce in the same size pot. It is such 

 a compact, vigorous grower that it will thrive 

 under most adverse conditions, making an ex- 

 ceptionally rapid growth and producing a plant 

 of rare beauty and perfection in the average 

 dwelling house without special care or attention. 

 Owing to its habit of producing the great quan- 

 tity of massive foliage in small pots, this 

 Fern makes the finest pedestal plant ever pro- 

 duced, and will prove indispensable for decorat- 

 ing dining room or library tables and numerous 

 other places in the home where limited space 

 will not permit using large pots or varieties 

 with longer fronds. As a table decoration, fern 

 growers can appreciate the commercial value of 

 a dwarf variety that will produce forty to fifty 

 fronds twelve to fifteen Inches long In a four- 

 inch pot. Such plants could readily be disposed 

 of and every grower can produce them from 

 "Teddy Junior" with as little care and expense 

 as they can grow other varieties. Fine young 

 plants from SU-inoh poti, 40 cents e«ch; $8,50 

 per docen; $26,00 per hundred; $800,00 per thou- 

 sand.

 rolepis ferns, never reverts and every plant Is

Nephrolepis Tuberosa Plumosa. 



This beautiful fern is quite dlBtinct from all 

 of the other varieties of the Boston Fern In so 

 much that it lias been raised from the Japan spe- 

 cies Nephrolepis Tuberosa, which type is much 

 hardier than the Exfiltata. The fronds are long 

 and narrow, the pinnules beautiful plumose, 

 which are of light color, giving the fronds a 

 beautiful effect on account of the two distinct 

 shades, as well as its graceful waviness, and 

 will be found a great and distinct addition to 

 collection ferns.
