THE NEWPORT PARLOR FERN {Nephrolepis 

 Scottii). Resembles the Boston Fern in some 

 respects but grows more erect, has shorter, 

 narrower fronds, and makes three times as many 

 of them. We have this also in $i size n 



SCHOLZELII (The Crested Newport or Scottii 

 Fern). The pinnse (or leaflets) of each frond are 

 curled and crinkled, giving the plants a fluffy 

 and crested appearance. 



TEDDY JUNIOR. Same type of frond as the Roose- 

 velt Fern but the fronds are shorter and more 

 freely produced, making compact, shapely plants 

 suitable for table decoration and more easily 

 handled than the larger growing types. 



WHITMANH. Rather dwarf in growth but very 

 graceful, compact, dense and feathery. Each 

 frond has a double row of perfect little fronds set 

 at right angles to the midrib. 



ROOSEVELT. This is one of the finest of the large- 

 growing house Ferns. Produces great quantities 

 of long, graceful fronds, with the pinnae (or leaflets) 

 beautifully undulated, giving a pronounced wavy 

 effect and a character to this plant that is quite 

 unique and most attractive. 



BOSTON. A rapid-growing, graceful house Fern, 

 and many people prefer this to any other variety. 

 It thrives in any ordinary living-room, and speci- 

 men plants can be grown with fronds 5 to 6 feet 

 in length. The sword-like fronds are produced in 

 bewildering masses, arching, curving and strik- 

 ingly beautiful. On account of its large growth, 

 the Boston Fern is particularly useful for hall 

 decoration, where it can be placed on a stand and 

 left undisturbed. 



Dwarf-Growing Ferns 



For fern-dishes and table decoration. Delightful 



to have for the table, window or guest-room; also 



nice for gifts.
