FERNS, HANGING BASKETS, FERN BALLS 
AND BEGONIAS 
No collection of plants is complete without Ferns. Their 
popularity has greatly increased during the past few years 
and now they are indispensable in all floral decorations, and 
are especially valued as room and table ornaments. Where 
there is shade and moisture, most of the varieties succeed 
well when planted out-of-doors. Good drainage must be 
provided, as stagnant water is fatal to success. The plants 
we offer are in 4, 5 and 6 in. pots, and well established.

the most beautiful of all Maidenhair Ferns; the most 
popular and most generally grown by florists for decoration.

ASPARAGUS PLUMOSUS. The most valuable decorative 
plant grown. Its fine feathery foliage which grows in great

decorations and floral work; is easily grown and thrives
