"TEDDY JUNIOB" 

 A Grand, New, I>warf Fern 

 "Teddy Junior," the fern for every household. 

 It is a sport from the now famous Roosevelt 

 fern, and while Its habit of growth is to pro- 

 duce a shorter frond. It retains all the valuable 

 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 full 

 center and perfectly symmetrical spread. The 

 pinnae are distinctly undulated, giving the fronds 

 an attractive, wavy appearance, which adds ma- 

 terially to their charming decorative effect, and 

 thin, scraggy foliage is never seen in this variety. 

 "Teddy" will produce about four times more 

 fronds than any other fern ever introduced, fin- 

 ishing with fifty to sixty fronds In a 4--lnch 

 pot, while twelve to fifteen Is the average num- 

 ber other varieties will produce in the same size 

 pot. It Is such a compact, vigorous grower that 

 it will thrive under most adverse conditions, mak- 

 ing an exceptionally 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 quantity of massive foliage in small pots, 

 this fern makes the finest pedestal plant ever 

 produced, and will prove indispensable for deco- 

 rating 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 grow- 

 ers can appreciate the commercial value of a 

 dwarf variety that will produce forty to fifty 

 fronds twelve to fifteen inches long in a 4-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 2J4-Inch pots, $3 per doz.; $15 per 100: 

 $140 per 1,000.

Various Uses of Osnpsum. 



Gypsum is useful to apply to sandy 

 soils, for to such soils lime cannot be 

 applied. While this sulphate of lime 

 suits the purpose admirably, it is prof- 

 itable, easily spread and slowly soluble, 

 and assists in absorbing and retaining 

 the ammonia of fertilizers. It also ab- 

 sorbs water, and so increases the fertil- 

 ity of the soil. Gypsum, when mixed 



with farm or stable manure, or placed 

 in poultry houses, or spread upon stable 

 floors, fixes the ammonia and so pre- 

 vents loss of nitrogen. It also has the 

 power to absorb ammonia from the at- 

 mosphere. Gypsum also has the power 

 of acting upon the silicates of the soil, 

 releasing soda and potash and thus in- 

 creasing! fertility. Gypsum contains as 

 high as fifty-six per cent of sulpba/te 

 of lime, twenty per cent carbonate of 



lime, iron and some alkalis. A dress- 

 ing of 500 pounds to the acre has in- 

 creased the yield of clover one ton 

 per acre. It is useful in rose and car- 

 nation soils, absorbing the surplus am- 

 monia and giving it to the plant when 

 needed. It also helps to prevent stem- 

 rot by ebecking fermentation of de- 

 caying manure. It also corrects acid- 

 ity in soils.
