ee Fern Balls ¥e %e 
‘These pretty Japanese Fern Balls have proved 
very attractive to flower lovers here,and there 
is always a large demand for them for house and 
conservatory culture. They are made in Japan 
from a remarkable variety of Mountain Ferns 
growing in that country, and though they are 
brown and dry when received, they require only 
heat and moisture to start in to lively growth. 
Set in a saucer or plate, partly filled with water 
and kept in a warm room they will soon be cov- 
ered with a handsome growth of lovely emerald 
green fronds as shown in the illustration. They 
require no potting or soil, only keep warm and 
moist and they will do the rest. We offer three 
different sizes, all one-year old. Notwo-year 
balls to be had this year.
