FERNS, GERANIUMS, HYDRANGEAS, ETC. 



Large -growing Ornamental Ferns F %^H%$ffi&® D 



A north window or any window which has lots of light and but little or no direct sun- 

 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 beautitul ferns ever offered. 

 Boston Fern. Fronds grow 2 to 3 feet long and droop over in the most delightful way! 



Everyone knows the Boston Fern and it is still in great demand. 

 Newport Fern (Scottii). Resembles the Boston Fern, but grows more erect, has shorter, 



narrower fronds and makes three times as many of them. 

 Scholzelii. The crested dwarf Scottii Fern. The plant has a fluffy crested appearance 



much like the Ostrich-Plume Ferns. 

 Whitmanii. (See illustration.) Fronds wide, graceful, dense and feathery.

50 cts. and 75 cts. each Q

 Geraniums

 Beaute Poitevine. This is one of the 



best semi-double, light salmon-pink 



bedding Geraniums. The plants grow 



bushy and regular and form heads of 



beautiful blooms continuously. A 



solid bed of this exquisite variety is 



unsurpassed when a salmon-pink 



effect is desired. Fine for bordering 



a bed of Mrs. A. F. Conard Cannas.

 ers of surpassing beauty ; fine for bed- 

 ding and cut-flowers. The blooms are

most popular pink bedders. 

 Queen of Crimsons, S. A. Nutt. The

 anium; blooms incessantly. There is 



more demand for this Geranium than 



for any other red variety Geraniums will bloom all the year. Always satisfactory

French Hydrangea. Try a few along the base of your porch 



New French Hydrangeas ^JuZW 



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

 of Philadelphia. Unequaled for porch and lawn decoration during summer. The 

 blooms are immense, and come in such quantities as almost to cover the bush. 

 On the approach of freezing weather in northern states, store in a light, cool 

 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. 

 Prices for all, from 3-inch pots, 35 cts. each; from 4-inch pots, 50 cts. each, postpaid; 



from 6-inch pots, 75 cts. each Q 

 Avalanche. Magnificent; large; white; very free-flowering. 

 Bouquet Rose. Large clusters of rosy amber changing to bright pink. 

 Mme. E. Mouillere. Large individual flowers of pure white. 

 Mousseline. Mauve-rose with cream-colored center; often comes darker. 



Large -flowered Chinese Hibiscus 25 ^^'^^'^ 



Peachblow. Immense double flowers, like gigantic frilled roses, very freely 



produced; rich pink with deep crimson center. Use rich soil. 

 Grandiflora. Immense single flowers; bright rose-pink; very beautiful.
