THE DINGER & CONARD COMPANY, WEST GROVE PA. 



Winter-Blooming: Carnation. 



Dingee Ferns 



There is no other plant that seems to fill such an 



important place as these Ferns. Their adaptability 



to almost all conditions makes them the best 



decorative plant grown.

 of the "Ostrich Plume Fern," with valuable char- 

 acteristics added. 



The Boston Fern. Forms immense bushes of grace- 

 ful, drooping fronds which grow from 2 to 5 feet 

 long. 



Sword Fern. Compact, erect-growing, with strong, 

 firm fronds. Strong plants.

 fronds. 



Maidenhair Fern (Adiantum cuneatum). Ha 

 angular foliage and thin wire-like stems. 



Roosevelt. Similar to the Boston, but pro- 

 ducing more fronds, and soon makes a 

 handsome plant.

 dwarf habit.

Dingee Winter-Blooming 

 Carnations 



As a fall and winter-blooming plant for house cul- 

 ture we recommend the Carnation as one of the very 

 best. It is as easily grown as a Geranium and 

 equally satisfactory. You know how high-priced Car- 

 nation blooms are during the winter. Don't buy them 

 — grow them yourself. You can have an abundance 

 of flowers at a trifling cost. Follow these directions 

 and you will succeed. Plant in good soil, give plenty 

 of water and drain well. Let the plant be cool at 

 night: this is an important requirement. A 40 degree 

 to 50 degree temperature is about right. Keep the 

 dead foliage picked off. We offer extra-large, field- 

 grown plants; they will bloom continually throughout 

 the winter. Fine plants can be sent by mail; it is 

 best, however, to send them by express when possible, 

 as they arrive in much better condition.
