FERNS 
Altho we have been increasing our production of Nephrolepis 
Ferns for the past four years, the demand constantly exceeds 
the supply. Successful fern growing invariably hinges on the 
cleanliness of the plants. Ours are free from “White Scale.” 
We carry at all times a good suply of 2^/4 inch ferns.

TEDDY JUNIOR (The Fern for Every Household)—The fronds 
are broad and beautifully tapered from ba^ to tip; they droop 
just enough to make a shapely, graceful plant, permitting it 
to finish with a fine full center and perfect symmetrical spread. 
The pinnae are distinctly undulated, giving the fronds an at¬ 
tractive wavy appearance, which adds materially to their charm¬ 
ing decorative effect. “Teddy Junior” will produce about four 
times more fronds than any other Fern ever introduced, 
finishing with fifty to sixty fronds in a four-inch pot. 
JOHN WANAMAKER (“The Wanamaker Boston Fern”)—A 
“sport” from Nephrolepis Scholzeli, with longer, narrower 
gracefully drooping fronds. It is not so compact in growth as 
Scholzeli, and, therefore, does not decay in the center, and is 
a durable house Fern. It is a rapid grower; making an abun¬ 
dance of frods, and is quite distinct from any other Neph¬ 
rolepis. 
ROOSEVELT—The pinnae are beautifully undulated, giving the 
Roosevelt a pronounced wavy effect seen in no other Fern; as 
the plant ages this effect becomes quite distinct. Our sales of 
Roosevelt have exceeded two hundred and fifty thousand plants. 
WHlTMANII (The Ostrich Plume Fern)—The well-known fluffy 
leaved fern; a popular florists’ variety. 
WHlTMANII COMPACTA (“The Parlor Fern”)—This is a con¬ 
densed form of the “Ostrich Plume” Fern, with valuable 
characteristics added which are not evident in the parent—the 
pinnae subdividing, making miniature fronds which are super¬ 
imposed on the main fronds, looking as if two or more were 
condensed in one. Graceful beyond description. 
SCHOLZELI (“The Crested Fern”)—The fronds, like Scottii, stand 
erect, and with a graceful arch form a plant of ideal shape, and 
they never break down, giving the plant a ragged appearance, 
as is so often the case with other plumed forms; furthermore, 
the loose, elegant arrangement of the fronds, allowing a free 
circulation of air through the foliage, _ prevents the center of 
even the largest specimens from becoming defective or yellow. 
BOSTONIENSIS (“The Boston Fern”)—A variety that needs no 
description. Still the most popular of all varieties. 
DWARF BOSTON—The most popular of present day ferns. A 
dwarf type of the popular Boston variety. 
GOODI (“The Baby’s Breath Fern”)—(Good & Reese.) This Fern 
is splendid to use for fern dish planting. The finest foliage of 
all the ferns. Fronds very fluffy. A well-grown specimen is 
in great demand. It is of easy culture. 
SCOTTII (“The Newport Fern”)—It is a rapid grower and to see 
it in all stages of growth from a runner in the bench to a 
fourteen-inch pot specimen will convince you that it will be in 
great demand as a house Fern. This has always been a favorite. 
A dependable supply.

Whitmanil Fern 
........I............ 
The New Fern COLORADO 
The most beautiful fern sent out in years. It has proven itself much truer to form than other ferns of 
this type. It is an improvement on Whitmanii, as hardy and sturdy as the Boston, a faster grower than any 
other fern and makes a better formed plant.
