Choice Hardy Ferns 



Suitable positions for Hardy Ferns are to be found in almost

 semi-shady position in rich well-drained soil, where they can be 

 liberally supplied with water during dry weather. Where the soil

 peat or other loose material to make it friable.

 orange and vermilion, and often a combination of all in one flower; excellent for

 An improvement on the well-known double-flowering form 

 Paniculata fl. pi. Strong roots, 50 cts,. each; $5.00 per doz. 



Paniculata. This is the favorite old-fashioned single-flowering 

 variety, a plant possessing a grace not found in any other 

 perennial. When in bloom during July and August it forms a 

 symmetrical mass 2 to 3 feet in height, and as much through, 

 of minute pure white flowers, forming a beautiful gauze-like 

 appearance. When cut it is exquisite in combination with 

 other flowers.

 flowers of which are not only larger but of a purer white than 

 the single-flowering sort, these may be cut and dried, retaining 

 their beauty for many months; a valuable subject for the 

 hardy border. 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz.
