Ferns for Decoration 
Ferns cannot be dispensed with 
in elaborate decorations for the 
parlor. A single plant of the 
Sword Fern is as useful in pro¬ 
ducing a graceful effect as any 
plant we know of. In planting a 
fernery do not crowd them, but 
give room for the development of 
the fronds ; their growth is rapid, 
and many varieties soon double 
their original size. Be your own 
florist and fill your fern dishes at 
home. Five of the best and 
hardiest varieties are sufficient to 
fill a fern dish eight inches in 
diameter. Each 15 cents; the set 
of six for 60 cents. 
Adiantum cuneatum. The 
popular Maiden-Hair Fern. 
Adiantum pubescens. A use¬ 
ful variety with bronze and 
green foliage; strong grower. 
Aspidium Tsussimense. A 
pretty species with dark green 
foliage. 
Pteris Cretica albo - lineata. 
A pretty and useful variegat¬ 
ed variety ; leaves green and 
white. 
Pteris Seiboldii. Strong grower, 
dark green foliage. 
Pteris Wimsetti. Fine for fern 
pans, and house culture; THE BOSTON DROOPING FERN 
finely crested. 
BOSTON DROOPING FERN 
One of the most satisfactory of all decorative plants for house- 
culture. The handsome green fronds attain a length of four 
to five feet, and droop gracefully over on every side. Each 
15 cents ; extra large plants, each 50 and 75 cents. 
AlliHl Foster. This is a sport of the Boston Fern, dis¬ 
covered in November 1900, growing in a bench with the 
older variety. Each of the individual pinna: is a perfect 
miniature reproduction of the full frond as seen in the 
Boston Fein, unrolling in the same manner. This variety 
is a wonderful grower, the fronds often growing from four 
to six feet in length in one season. A charming novelty. 
Strong young plants 25 cents each. Extra strong plants, 
each £1.00. 
JSejthrolejtis FiersoHi. The winner of numerous 
Gold Medals, and highest awards wherever exhibited. 
This Fern is the most valuable plant novelty introduced 
in many years. It is very beautiful, is distinct from the 
Boston Fern, and we believe it will be even more popular 
than that old favorite. The fronds are a rich green in 
color, and are more finely cut and divided than are those 
of the Boston Fern. It is a free and quick grower, and 
succeeds admirably as a house plant. Strong young 
plants 75 cents each. Extra strong plants each $2.00. 
MOSS FERN 
Selaginella Emiliana. Although this is commonly called a 
Moss Fern it belongs to the Lycopodium family. It is a 
handsome plant, of upright growth, graceful and pretty. 
Useful for fernery. Each 10 cents.
