Dingee Decorative Ferns 



I Ise a soilcomposed of fivcparts; two i)arl.s of good garden. soil,! wo i>arlsof finely screened 

 I)eatorleaf mold from the woo(ls, and one part sliarp, clean sand. This should then 

 be thoroughly sterilized by putting in an ov(ni and baking in order to destroy earth 

 worms, <^t<;. Place some broken pic((\s of pols or crocks and some charcoal in the bot- 

 tom of eac'h pot for drainage. A lempcralun! of not less than .'>.") degrees l'\ should bo 

 maintained at all tim(>s, with a rise in the daytime of 10 degrees to 1.") degre<?s. 

 .Judgment should be exercised in wat(rring. On warm days llu-y should b(r syringed 

 at least twice. I\ev«T allow them to become; too dry. Insects which are most 

 troubh^some are thrips, rtul spidtir, sc^ale and m(\ily l)ug. Thrips, rc^d spider and 

 mealy bug arc easily prevented by a properly inoislcfied almosi)liere, also by spraying 

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

 increased or diminished in strcMigth as oec^asion demands.

Teddy, Jr. New dwarf P^^rn. Fronds are broad and beau tif idly 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 introduc(!d. Cjomjiact, thrives under 

 any condition. 

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

 making a handsomer and l)ushi(<r i)lanl; in fact, it today is more |)opular with the; 

 florists than the lioston; it will make a larger plant in a shorl<;r lime. T\u\ fronds 

 are beautifully unduialed, giving it a v(;ry pretty rising cIlcM^t. 

 Jacksonii. Extremely strong grower. Rcscnd)ling Sword Fern, quickly forming 



large, upright j)lant. 

 Whitmani Compacta. This is a condensed form of the "Ostrich Plume F'ern," 

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

 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 mu(!h longer fronds, which frequently attain a lerifrlh of 



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



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



drooping habit adapts this variety for growing as a single s|)ecimen 



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). IVlore 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 ellccl. \ cry decorative. 



Maidenhair Fern ( Adiantum cuneatum). Thebestknown 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 com[)act growth.
