Without question 

 the greatest money-maker In Ferns ever grown 



|HIS VARIETY is a sport from the now famous "Roosevelt Fern," 

 and while its habit of growth is to produce 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 fine, full center and perfect, symmetrical spread. 

 The pinnae are distinctly undulated, giving the fronds an attractive, wavy 



appearance, which adds materially to their charming decorative effect, and thin, scraggly foliage is never seen in this variety. 

 " Teddy " will produce 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 sized pot. It is such 

 a compact, vigorous grower that it will thrive under most adverse conditions, making an exceptionally rapid growth and pro- 

 ducing 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 pro- 

 duced, and will prove indispensable for decorating 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 pro- 

 duce 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. 



Special Note* When Nephrolepis Roosevelt was first introduced, some firms 



represented to many growers that Harrisii was the same, and 



even substituted Harrisii for Roosevelt on their orders. Experience has taught 

 growers that Roosevelt is far superior to any Harrisii. and at this time we are re- 

 ceiving orders with the request that only the true Roosevelt variety be shipped— 

 Harrisii won't do.
