NEW FLORAL GUIDE—AUTUMN, 190% 
Ornamental Ferns 
““WHITMANII’—Latest One Out 
and we think the most beautiful yet. Rather 
| dwarf in growth, but graceful, very compact, 
dense and feathery. Each frond or branch has 
a double row of periect little fronds set at 
right angles to the mid rib, and so thick they seem 
almost crowded. Itis a healthy, vigorous grower, 
constantly unfolding fresh fronds of light green 
that contrast exquisitely with the deep green of 
the older fronds. It is somewhat like Barrowsii, 
shown in the illustration, but decidedly more 
fluffy, more delicate and beautiful (see outline 
drawing No.1). Price, 50c. each, postpaid. Larger 
size, $1.00, express.
