THE OSTRICH PLUME FERN 



WHITMANII 



24c 



Whitmanii is one of the 

 few feathery foliage Ferns 

 which everyone can suc- 

 ceed in growing. It is a healthy, 

 vigorous grower, constantly unfolding 

 fresh fronds, which often attain a 

 width of twelve inches. Each frond is 

 delicately and finely cut, possessing 

 such elegance of form and willowy 

 grace as to be compared to a beauti- 

 ful ostrich plume. Its feathery, droop- 

 ing form and compact, luxuriant 

 growth will make the most sordid sur- 

 roundings assume cheerfulness and 

 verdant beauty. In decorative effect it 

 far outdistances many of t h e other 

 varieties of the family. It has taken 

 gold medals wherever shown. Price, 

 24c; 3 for 68c; stronger plants, 35c; 

 larger plants, 60c; heavy plants, $1.00 

 and $1.50 each.

THE IDEAL FERN 



Roosevelt 



A Notable and Valuable Novelty. 

 Wins Prizes Everywhere. 

 The Grand Roosevelt Fern ^% JM 

 has had the most phenomenal ^.fcBif^ 

 sale of any decorative plant ™" . 

 grown. Fronds broad and heavy, often 

 measuring 6 inches or more across, and 

 five or six feet long. Owing to the weight 

 of the foliage, the plant assumes an ex- 

 ceedingly massive, yet graceful appearance, 

 and owing to the fullness of the fronds 

 even small plants make much more sym- 

 metrical and beautiful plants than the 

 popular Boston Fern. The divided pinnae 

 or miniature fronds which are so grace- 

 fully arranged, keep growing constantly, 

 overlapping each other and showing two 

 shades of green, while the center and main 

 part of the frond is rich dark green, the 

 sontrast producing a beautiful effect. Price, 

 nice young plants, 24c; 3 for 68c; stronger 

 plants, 50c; larger plants, 85c; heavy 

 selected plants, $1.25. 



The Gold Medal Fern 



Elegantissima Compacta. 

 Valuable on Account of Its Easy Culture. 



A variety of comparatively recent introduc- 

 tion which is different and distinct in com- 

 pactness of growth and the subdivision of its 

 fronds. While fronds are broad and heavy, plants have 

 a graceful appearance. Wonderfully valuable on account 

 of its easy culture and hardiness. Its 

 distinguishing characteristics are its 

 dark green foliage, its dense and com- 

 pact growth and its irregular shaped 

 fronds, which are heavily imbricated, 

 the pinnae overlapping and so formed 

 as to resemble miniature ferns. Price, 

 nice young plants, 29c; 3 for 83c; 

 stronger plants, 55c; larger plants, 

 90c; heavy selected plants, $1.25 and 

 $1.75.

The Ostrich Plu 

 Whitmanii, 24c, 



HARDY FERNS FOR SHADY PLACES 



These graceful and universally popular plants are of easy 

 culture and afford a wide range of possibilities. A shady 

 nook where the soil is moist and the drainage good will 



prove an ideal location, especially if 

 a liberal amount of leaf mold or 

 wood's earth is available; and better 

 still, if rocks and stumps may unite 

 in breaking the monotony of the 

 ground's surface. Under such con- 

 ditions Ferns require very little at- 

 tention and amply repay in satisfac- 

 tion and genuine pleasure. Price, 

 38c; 3 for $1.08; 12 for $3.65. Large 

 clumps, 60c; 3 for $1.70; $5.66 per 

 dozen.
