Beautiful Ferns for the Home 
ISITORS are astonished at the beautiful 
varieties of ferns which we 
offer and remark: ‘‘We never 
see such specimens in our 
home greenhouses.’’ There 
are no plants grown that are 
more desirable for the house 
than the following fine decora- 
tive Ferns. They are easily 
grown, thrive well in the 
ordinary temperature of the living room. See 
that the plants have plenty of drainage and are 
kept well watered; never let dry out for any length 
of time, nor allow them to stand in water. That 
we are headquarters for Ferns is evidenced by 
the choice assortment that we offer. No other 
firm offers so many distinct and choice varieties. 
The Roosevelt Fern 
Nephrolepis Roosevelt 
(Introduced by the Good & Reese Co.) 
In general characteristics it resembles the world-famous 
Boston Fern, but it will sweep that Fern from the bozrds for 
two reasons; it produces many more fronds than the Boston, 
thus making a bushier, handsomer plant; then the pinnae 
are beautifully undulated, giving the “Roosevelt” a pronounced 
wavy effect; as the plant ages this effect becomes quite distinct. 
Fine young plants, 20c each; 3 for 50c; strong plants, 75c. 
The Teddy Junior Fern 
(Introduced by The Good & Reese Co.) 
Nephrolepis Teddy Junior 
“Teddy Junior,” the Fern for every household. 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 attrac- 
tive wavy appearance. ‘‘Teddy Junior’’ will produce about four 
times more fronds than any other Fern ever introduced, finishing 
with fifty to sixty fronds in a four-inch pot. Fine young plants, 
15c each; 3 for 39c; strong plants, 60c. 
Fern Whitmanii Compacta 
The Perfect Ostrich Plume Fern 
Nephrolepis Whitmanii Compacta 
This is a condensed form of the ‘‘Ostrich Plume Fern,’’ with 
valuable characteristics added which are not evident in the par- 
ent, the pinnae sudividing, making miniature fronds which are 
superimposed on the main fronds, looking as if two or more were 
condensed into one. Fine young plants, 25c; 3 for 67c; strong 
plants, 60c. 
Fern ‘‘Roosevelt’? 
The Wannamaker Fern 
Nephrolepis John Wannamaker 
A new Fern of wonderful beauty. Long, narrow, gracefully 
drooping crinkled fronds. It is not so compact as Scholzeli, and, 
therefore, is a very airy and graceful Fern, and very durable in 
the house. A rapid grower; quite distinct from other Ferns. 
Fine young plants, 25c; 3 for 67c; strong plants, 75c. 
The Ostrich Plume Fern 
Nephrolepis Whitmanii 
Everyone who has seen it is charmed with it. 
expressed it: ‘‘There is nothing like the Ostrich Plume Fern in 
cultivation.” In decorative effect it so far outdistances the origi- 
nal variety that there is positively no comparison to be made. 
Fine young plants, 20c; 3 for 50c; strong plants, 60c. 
The Crested Fern 
Nephrolepis Scholzeli 
The fronds are crested and stand erect, with graceful arch, 
forming a plant of ideal shape, and they never break down, giving 
the plant a ragged appearance, as is so often the case with other 
plumed ferns. Fine young plants, 20 cents each; 3 for 50 cents; 
large plants, 60 cents each. 
The Newport Fern 
Nephrolepis Scotti 
Of much dwarfer and bushier growth than the Boston Fern. 
The fronds droop gracefully, and are not as long and heavy as 
the Boston. It is a rapid grower and has always been a favorite 
variety. Fine young plants, 25c; 3 for 67c; strong plants, 60c.
