JAPANESE FERN BALL. 



Grand New Japanese 

 Fern Balls. 



These pretty Japanese Fern Balls are an 

 elegant novelty sent ns by the skilled Gar- 

 deners of Japan. The illustration gives 

 some idea of their exquisite beanty when 

 growing. The young Fern roots are twist- 

 ed and worked together with moss and peat 

 into round balls which only need water and 

 moderate warmth to start them into growth 

 and beauty; may be hung in a window and 

 kept moist by occasionally dipping in water 

 or placed in a dish or vase, where they 

 make lovely table ornaments— they have 

 proved very popular with flower lovers 

 everywhere, and we sell a great many of 

 them. We offer them in 3 sizes.

 eter, 75 cts. each, 2 for $1.25, postpaid.

 expect a large demand for them. Price, 25 cts., each, 

 52 50 per doz.., postpaid; $2.00 per doz., by express, at 

 purchaser's expense. 



PLEASE NOTICE :— Our 7 to 9 and 5 -inch 

 Fern Balls are grown for us one year in Japan, 



and though they do not look quite so bright and clean as 

 when freshly made up, they are considered much better be- 

 cause the roots have become established, and are in condition 

 to start quicker and make a more vigorous growth, and when 

 kept thoroughly dampened, in a moderately warm room, 

 will soon be covered with a handsome growth of lovely 

 emerald green fronds as shown in the illustration.
