BOSTONIENSIS (“The Boston Fern”)—A variety that needs no descrip¬ 
tion. Still the most popular of all varieties. 
DWARF BOSTON—The most popular of present day ferns. A dwarf 
type of the popular Boston variety. 
ROOSEVELT—The pinnae are beautifully undulated giving the Roose¬ 
velt a pronounced wavy effect seen in no other Fern; as the plant 
ages this effect becomes quite distinct. Our sales of Roosevelt have 
exceeded two hundred and fifty thousand plants 
SPARROWII—It has dark green foliage which, with its beautiful crested 
fronds, makes it a most unique, distinct and desirable fern. 
TEDDY JUNIOR (The Fern for Every Household)—The fronds are 
broad and beautifully tapered from base to tip; they droop just 
enough to make a shapely, graceful plant, permitting 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 effects. 
“Teddy Junior” will produce about four times more fronds than any 
other Fern ever introduced, finishing with fifty to sixty fronds in a 
four-inch pot. 
VERONA—A handsome variety somewhat resembling Whitmanii but with 
finer ostrich plume foliage and with a stiffer midrib which makes 
the fronds stand up better. 
WHITMANII COMPACTA (“The Parlor Fern”)—This is a condensed 
form of the “Ostrich Plume” Fern, with valuable characteristics added 
which are not evident in the parent—the pinnae subdividing, making 
miniature fronds which are super-imposed on the main fronds, looking 
as if two or more were condensed in one. Graceful beyond description. 
NEW FERN TREVILLIAN 
The most beautiful fern sent out in years. It has proven itself much 
truer to form than other ferns of this type. It is an improvement on 
Whitmanii, as hardy and sturdy as the Boston, a faster grower than any 
other fern and makes a better formed plant.

Suitable positions for Hardy Ferns are to be found in almost every 
garden. With few exceptions they do best in a shady or semi-shady 
position and in rich well-drained soil. They must be supplied with 
water during dry weather. Where the soil is stiff or clayey, incorporate 
a liberal quantity of leafmold, peat or other loose material to make it 
friable. 
CHRISTMAS FERN (Aspidium Acrostichoides) — 16 inches. An ever¬ 
green fern, best in shady location. Deep green fronds. Excellent 
for the rock garden. 
OSTRICH FERN (Onociea Struthiopteres)—3 y 2 feet. Very stately, likes 
partial shade and moisture. A very handsome plant — graceful like 
a palm. 
INTERRUPTED FERN (Osmunda Claytoniana)—A large fern growing 
in a crown 2 to 3 feet high, 8 inches broad, and clothed with rusty 
wool when young. One of the best. 
SPINULOSE WOOD FERN (Aspidium Spinulosum)—18 inches. An 
evergreen . fern with handsome and finely dissected fronds. Requires 
a rich moist location. A splendid fern for rockeries.
