JAPANESE FERN BALLS. (DavalUa BuUata.) 



A variety from Japan, with deep green fronds 8 to 10 inches 

 long, from creeping rootstocks or rhizomes. These are made up by 

 the Japanese into fanciful shapes, such as balls, wreaths and 

 various other figures, and may be suspended from the roof of the 

 conservatory or window garden, where they soon start into 

 growth. These roots are, fastened to a frame made of spaglmum 

 moss, which retains the moisture, so that an occasional dipping 

 into a pail of water is all that is required to keep the plants in a. 

 good growing condition. As we have found the ball-shaped forms 

 to give the best results, as well as being the most artistic in ap- 

 pearance, we only offer this shape. 60 cts. and 75 cts. each.
