Dingee Decorative Ferns 



Use a soil composed of fiveparts ; two parts of good garden soil, two parts of f i nel y screened 

 peat or leaf mold from the woods, and one part sharp, clean sand. This should then 

 be thoroughly sterilized by putting in an oven and baking in order to destroy earth 

 worms, etc. Place some broken pieces of pots or crocks and some charcoal in the bot- 

 tom of each pot for drainage. A temperature of not less than 55 degrees F. should be 

 maintained at all times, with a rise in the daytime of 10 degrees to 15 decrees. 

 Judgment should be exercised in watering. On warm days they should be syringed 

 at least twice. Never allow them to become too dry. Insects which are most 

 troublesome are thrips, red spider, scale and mealy bug. Thrips, red spider and 

 mealy bug are easily prevented by a properly moistened atmosphere, also by spraying 

 of foliage once a week with tobacco water, made in the consistency of weak tea, and 

 increased or diminished in strength as occasion demands.

Teddy, Jr. New dwarf Fern. Fronds are broad and beautifully tapered from the 

 base to the tip, drooping just enough to make a graceful plant. Produces nearly 

 four times as many fronds as any other Fern introduced. Compact, thrives under 

 any condition. 

 Roosevelt. Resembles the Boston Fern, but produces many more fronds, thus 

 making a handsomer and bushier plant; in fact, it today is more popular with the 

 florists than the Boston; it will make a larger plant in a shorter time. The fronds 

 are beautifully unduteted, giving it a very pretty rising effect. 

 Jacksonii. Extremely strong grower. Resembling Sword Fern, quickly forming 



large, upright plant. 

 Whitmani Compacta. This is a condensed form of the "Ostrich Plume Fern," 

 with valuable characteristics added which are not evident in the parent, the pinnae 

 subdividing, making miniature fronds, looking as if two or more were condensed 

 in one. 



The Boston Fern. This fern differs from the ordinary Sword Fern 



in having much longer fronds, which frequently attain a length of 



six feet, drooping gracefully over the side of the pot or jardiniere, 



and on this account it is frequently called the Fountain Fern. This 



drooping habit adapts this variety for growing as a single specimen 



for a table or pedestal. .Equally good for outdoors during the 



summer as well as a decorative plant for indoors during winter. 



Dwarf Boston. Same as Boston variety but a dwarf compact plant. 



Whitmanii (Ostrich Plume Fern). More of a dwarf habit than 



the Boston Fern. The fronds are of entirely different nature. 



Each frond is subdivided on the order of the Compacta Fern, thus 



producing a very beautiful effect. Very decorative. 



Maidenhair Fern ( Adiantum cuneatum). The best known table 



Fern, with dainty, lacy fronds, unlike any other. 

 Verona. The fronds are very fine and fluffy. Known as Lace or 

 Baby Breath Fern. Dwarf or compact growth.
