Price of Standard Varieties in strong plants from 3-inch pots, 

 20c each; $2.00 per dozen, postpaid. Every plant is guaranteed 

 to grow. After each variety we have indicated the height of the 

 plant when fully grown. 



Dingee Decorative Ferns 



Use a soil composed of five parts; two parts of good garden soil, 

 two parts of finely 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 

 bottom 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 day- 

 time of 10 degrees to 15 degrees. 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 trouble- 

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

 and mealy bug are easily prevented by a properly moistened atmo- 

 sphere, 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, vigorous and thrives under most 

 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 un- 

 dulated, giving it a very pretty rising effect that is seen in no other 

 Fern. 



Boston Fern 



JACKSONII — Extremely strong grower. Resembling Sword Fern, 

 quickly forming large, upright plant. 



WHITMANII COMPACT A— This is a condensed form of the "Ostricn 

 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. Graceful 

 beyond description. 



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 sum- 

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



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 pro- 

 ducing a very beautiful effect. Very decorative. 



MAIDENHAIR FERN (Adiantum cuneatum) — The best known 

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



Price of all Ferns in extra strong pot plants, 20c each; 6 for 

 ;$1.00; large plants from 4- and 5-inch pots, 75c each, postpaid.
