For an attractive terrarium garden, any glass receptade 
will do, if large enough to accommodate your plants. 
Soils can be ordered, with a collection of plants, thus 
adding greatly to your convenience. 
Generally terraria do best in a light place; however, 
avoid hot sunshine. Humidity is controlled hy the use 
of the glass covering, which can be removed if too much 
moisture is evident. Remove any leaves that are yellow, 
as this will result in decay, and rotting of plants in the 
garden. Prevent the formation of molds, by allowing 
to dry out a bit if they begin to appear; be sure to remove 
any that form at once. 
Watch carefully for any evidences of sow bugs. These 
little fellows are the most destructive of the terrarium 
pests. A little sulphur will help to make the terrarium 
an unhealthy place for them. Try a half of a potato, and 
when these insects gather under it. remove them, and kill 
them. 
FERNS (FT Series of Plants) 
FT-l Pteris serrulata cristata variegata. 
Outstanding for its coloring, it is vari- 
gated green and white. Grows about 
12 to 15 inches in height. Just the 
thing for variation in the terrarium 
garden. 25c each 
FT-2 Onychium Japonicuni. A very fine 
lacy fern. Fronds uncurl, showing a del¬ 
icate, filmy green. Excellent for front 
planting, or for a filler in the back¬ 
ground. 25c each 
FT-3 Cyrtonium Rochfordianum. Heavy 
leafed, leaves also are very dark, shiny 
green. About 12 inches in height. One 
of the best for terraria purposes. 
25c each 
FT-4 Pteris serrulata cristata compacta. 
A very light green fern, with the curly 
fronds, that are close together, and low¬ 
er in height than the usual Pteris ferns.

ferns that make us like this phyllum 
best. Fine, yet, not the delicate thread¬ 
like branches of some of the varieties. 
Makes a wonderful appearance in the

FT-9 Selaginella Brownii. One of those 
new interesting plants that make us 
like terrari- 
u m garden¬ 
ing so well.

one inch 
high, with 
tiny divisions 
of its mossy 
foliage, it

tiful shade of 
light green coloring. Just the thing for 
that front of the terrarium where you 
want some showy plant. 35c each

esting plant. Its foliage is of a change¬ 
able blue to green. Beautiful for even

FERNS — 
Ferns—The cutest little dwarf formation of 
plants imaginable. 
Ferns-—In all shapes and forms, some varie 
gated, some plain green, but each one ind; 
vidually different. Unless you have tried thes 
before, you won’t realize what pleasure you 
have in store. 
Planted in fancy bowls, they are a constan 
source of pleasure. Especially in the white pot 
tery—they assume all the dignity of more ari> 
tocratic of the plant species, and are amazinglv 
beautiful. 
Planted in Glass Gardens—and one just 
imagines he is resting quietly at the edge oi 
some woodland spot. You can plan and plant 
such a garden yourself. Be your own landscape 
architect and see the wonders of the work un 
fold beneath your hand. 
The Indoor Garden is one of the chief ex 
pressions of simplicity used in the plant line 
What scheme of design will such a garden not 
accentuate and beautify? 
DECORATIVE PLANTS 
(DT Series of Plants)

mens for the indoors; in combination arrange' 
ments, in glass gardens, the effect is positively 
wonderful.

teresting little plant with its attractive varie 
gated leaves that resemble the covering on a 
watermelon. Recommended for the terrarium.

are excellent for terrarium use, with their 
variegated leaves. Splendid means to study 
the structure of the leaf, as the veins are 
distinctly marked. 35c each.

but with pink. You 11 like this one for vari' 
ation. 35c each.

spreading palms, but in a beautiful green. 
One of the most pleasing of the Decorative

leaves; of a dark red color, with white varie¬ 
gations. A beauty for an unusual plant.

the common “Wandering Jew,” but you
