Boston and Piersoni Ferns 
Runners and Clumps Grown Outside fox* Potting 
The great demand and uncertain supply each year for runners of these desirable Ferns prompted us to search for a locality in the 
S< tilth where they could be grown successfully outdoors, and at the same time where it would permit of their arriving in good condition 
it a reasonably small cost for freight charges. After some experimenting we succeeded in locating a suitable section, where we are now 
>• 1 owing them in quantity for the third year. The idea is to furnish runners and plants from beds for potting ut) and growing on through 
t he summer for fall and winter sales. The above photo shows how luxuriantly they grow in a semi-tropical climate without the cost 
of artificial heat, thus enabling us to furnish plants at less than half the previous cost when grown under glass; at the same time, we 
U-licve they will do better from the fact of their being grown naturally or without forcing.
