FERNS AND DECORATIVE PLANTS 
Decorative plants have steadily increased in popularity during the past few years, and today 
play an important part in interior and exterior decorations. A few potted plants throughout the 
house in the Winter will lend a cheerfulness to the home which cannot be obtained in any 
other way. If these plants are carefully arranged in porch or window boxes through the Sum¬ 
mer, they will add charm and grace to the outward appearance of the house. 
Boston Fem. (Nepholepsis.) We have 
some beautiful specimens. The fronds fre¬ 
quently attain a length of five to six feet; 
gracefully drooping habit. It can be used as 
a house plant or under shade trees in Sum¬ 
mer. This is a standard and most popular 
variety 
Ostrich Plume—(Nepholepsis.) It has 
taken gold medals wherever shown, and is 
one of the most valuable ferns introduced 
in many years. The decorative fronds are 
made up of many leaflets that are finely 
divided, making it a charming fern.

Boston Fern, but produces many more fronds,
