Large -growing Ornamental Ferns F ?g I fe I K I S^SS!l?i5S D

 light will suit Ferns; the sun injures the delicate fronds. 



Roosevelt Fern. Resembles the world-famous Boston Fern, but produces twice as many 

 wide, drooping fronds, and the pinnae are beautifully undulated, giving a pronounced 

 wavy effect seen in no other variety. It has sprung into wonderful popularity, and when 

 better known will be wanted by everyone. 



Teddy Junior. Has all the valuable characteristics of the Roosevelt Fern, but it pro- 

 duces shorter fronds in great quantities. 



Amerpohlii (The Philadelphia Lace Fern). Each broad, graceful frond seems like a piece 

 of delicate lace. This is one of the most beautiful ferns ever offered.

Grand, low-growing, bushy shrubs, hardy in sheltered locations in the latitude

 cellar and water only sufficiently to keep the roots from drying up. If they 

 start growth during the winter, move to cooler quarters. To make these Hy- 

 drangeas bloom blue, incorporate one-half pound of alum, broken into pieces 

 about the size of a hickory-nut, with each bushel of soil.
