& J. Grand Japanese 
ee Fern Balls 
These pretty Japanese Fern Balls have 
proved very attractive to our customers and 
seem to have given better satisfaction the 
past year than ever before. They are made 
in Japan from a special variety of Moun- 
tain Fern 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 ina werm room, 
they will soon be covered with a handsome 
growth of lovely emerald green fronds as 
i’ 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. No two- 
year balls to be had this year.
