FERNS, GERANIUMS, HYDRANGEAS, ETC. 
Large-growing Ornamental Ferns f ?5rch di’c<^ti on d 
A north window or any window which has lots of light and but little or no direct sun¬ 
light will suit Ferns; the sun injures the delicate fronds. 
Roosevelt Fern. Resembles the world-famous Boston Fern, but produces twice as many 
wide, drooping fronds, and the pinnae are beautifully undulated, giving a pronounced 
wavy effect seen in no other variety. It has sprung into wonderful popularity, and when 
better known will be wanted by everyone. 
Teddy Junior. Has all the valuable characteristics of the Roosevelt Fern, but it pro¬ 
duces shorter fronds in great quantities. 
Amerpohlii (The Philadelphia Lace Fern). Each broad, graceful frond seems like a piece 
of delicate lace. This is one of the most beautiful ferns ever offered. 
Boston Fern. Fronds grow 2 to 3 feet long and droop over in the most delightful way. 
Everyone knows the Boston Fern and it is still in great demand. 
Newport Fern ( Scottii ). Resembles the Boston Fern, but grows more erect, has shorter, 
narrower fronds and makes three times as many of them. 
Scholzelii. The crested dwarf Scottii Fern. The plant has a fluffy crested appearance 
much like the Ostrich-Plume Ferns. 
Whitmanii. (See illustration.) Fronds wide, graceful, dense and feathery.

New French Hydrangeas 
Grand, low-growing, bushy shrubs, hardy in sheltered locations in the latitude 
of Philadelphia. Unequaled for porch and lawn decoration during summer. The 
blooms are immense, and come in such quantities as almost to cover the bush. 
On the approach of freezing weather in northern states, store in a light, cool 
cellar and water only sufficiently to keep the roots from drying up. If they 
start growth during the winter, move to cooler quarters. To make these Hy¬ 
drangeas bloom blue , incorporate one-half pound of alum, broken into pieces 
about the size of a hickory-nut, with each bushel of soil. When in active growth, 
water liberally and apply liquid manure or plant food about every two weeks. 
Prices for all, from 3-inch pots, 35 cts. each; from 4-inch pots, 50 cts. each, postpaid; 
from 6-inch pots, $1 each □
