THE GOOD & REESE COMPANY WHOLESALE TRADE LIST 
Warning—Do You Know About the Fern Scale? 
If you don’t, you had better get acquainted 
About every dealer in the land has this Fern Scale. That's what is making your Ferns look so sickly, and what is so seri¬ 
ous about the whole matter is that even the big growers think it Is a fly, and even then do not know how to rid themselves of 
it. It is a scale, and the most vicious insect that ever attacked any plant. It is the most difficult to get rid of. Our stock is 
clean because we know how to prevent it, and we also know how to get rid of it, should our stock ever become infested. You 
cannot afford to attempt to grow Ferns that have this scale, because you will fail; your plants will never look right. Buy 
fi. & It. clean Ferns. 
The Grand New Dwarf Fern, 
“Teddy Junior” 
“TEDDY JUNIOR,” the Fern for every household. Introduced to the trade 
by us—It is a sport from the now famous Roosevelt Fern, and while its habit 
of growth is to produce a shorter frond, it retains all the valuable characteris¬ 
tics of the parent plant. The fronds are broad and beautifully tapered from 
base to tip; they droop just enough to make a shapely, graceful plant, per¬ 
mitting it to finish with a fine full center and perfect symmetrical spread. The 
pinnae are distinctly undulated, giving the fronds an attractive wavy appear¬ 
ance, which adds materially to their charming decorative effect; and thin, 
scraggy foliage is never seen in this variety. "Teddy” will produce about four 
times more fronds than any other Fern ever introduced, finishing with fifty to 
sixty fronds in a four-inch pot, while twelve to fifteen is the average number 
which other varieties will produce in the same size pot. 
It is such a compact, vigorous grower that it will thrive under most adverse 
conditions, making an exceptionally rapid growth and producing a plant of 
rare beauty and perfection in the average dwelling house without special care 
or attention. Owing to its habit of producing the great quantity of massive 
foliage in small pots, this Fern makes the finest pedestal plant ever produced, 
and will prove indispensable for decorating dining room or library tables and 
numerous other places in the home where limited space will not permit using 
larger pots or varieties with longer fronds. As a table decoration. Fern growers 
can appreciate the commercial value of a dwarf variety that will produce forty 
“Teddy Junior,” the Wonderful New 
Fern. 
Nephrolepis Piersonii 
The Gold Medal Fern 
to fifty fronds twelve to fif¬ 
teen inches long in a four-inch pot. Such plants could readily be disposed of, 
and every grower can produce them from "Teddy Junior” with as little care 
and expense as they can grow other varieties. Two and one-quarter inch pots, 
75 cents per dozen; $5.00 per hundred; $45.00 per thousand. 
Nephrolepis Elegantissima 
The Philadelphia Lace Fern 
The small size pinnae, or leaflets, are subdivided nto perfect miniature 
fronds; the side pinnae stand at right angles to the midrib of the fronds, on 
edge instead of flat, giving both sides of the main frond the same beautiful 
appearance. It is impossible to conceive of the beauty and grace of this won¬ 
derful Fern from description. Two and one-quarter inch pots, $4.50 per hun¬ 
dred; $40.00 per thousand. 
Fronds of “Teddy Junior.” 
We have by selection gotten this Fern so it practically does not run back. 
This Fern received a. gold medal from the Society of American Florists and 
Ornamental Horticulturists, and is the only gold medal ever awarded by them 
for any plant whatsoever. An entirely new form of the Boston Fern. Th; 
pinnae subdivide, making miniature fronds which are superimposed on the main 
fronds, looking as if two or even three were condensed in one, giving the plant 
a graceful, feathery and plumy effect. Two and one-quarter inch pots, CO 
cents per dozen; $4.00 per hundred; $35.00 per thousand. 
Nephrolepis Whitmanii 
The Ostrich Plume Fern 
A great rcm. In fact, it is a plant that appeals to every¬ 
one, and on that account will prove a much more valuable and 
profitable plant than the Boston Fern, which has had the most 
phenomenal sale of any decorative plant that has ever been 
grown, but which cannot be compared to the Ostrich Fern for 
beauty and general effectiveness. Everyone who has seen it is 
charmed with it. As someone expressed it, "There is nothing 
like the Ostrich Flume Fern in cultivation. In decorative ef¬ 
fect it so far outdistances the original variety 
that there is positively no comparison to be 
made.” Two and one-quarter inch pots, 60 
cents dozen; $4.50 hundred; $40.00 thousand. 
Nephrolepis Superbissima 
The Fluffy Ruffles Fern 
This new Fern is quite different from all other Ferns. Its 
distinguishing characteristics are its dark green foliage, darker 
than any other Fern, its dense growth being much more com¬ 
pact, and its irregular shaped fronds which give it the name 
of "Fluffy Ruffles Fern.” The fronds are very heavily im¬ 
bricated, the pinnae overlapping, and are so formed as to re¬ 
semble miniature Ferns, giving it the appearance of a Fern 
within a Fern. The plant is very sturdy in its habit and the 
fronds firm and rigid, never break down, so that it will stand 
more knocking around than any other Fern. Two and one- 
quarter inch pots, $1.00 per dozen; $6.00 per hundred.
