Phlox. F. G. Von Lassbiirg. 



Pentas Lanceolata. 



JAPANESE FERX 

 BAI.I.S. 



(Davallia Bullata.) 



A variety from Japan, with deep 

 green fronds 8 to 1 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 gar- 

 den, where they soon start into 

 growth. These roots are fastened to a 

 frame made of spaghnum 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 con- 

 dition. As we have found the ball- 

 shaped forms to give the best results, 

 as well as being the most artistic in 

 appearance, we only offer this shape. 

 $1.00 each.
