Hardy or Outdoor Ferns 
OUTDOOR FERNS 
Hardy Ferns do well in. shady and half-shady places in the garden .and 
park, and are often useful for growing close to houses, in corners which 
are too dark for most plants. Ferns do best in light soils containing much 
vegetable matter, so it is always best to work a considerable amount of 
leaf mould into the soil of a fern bed. The common notion that Ferns re- 
quire wet or almost swampy conditions is not well founded, as they will 
do nicely under ordinary garden treatment in the matter of moisture. 
We haye a fine assortment of Hardy Perennial Ferns, and sell them in 
a fine mixture of varieties at 35c each; 3 for 90c; 12 for $3.00, postpaid.

Editorial in Florists Exchange 
“The commercial grower and even professional 
gardener does not, perhaps, bother much about 
having soil grimed hands, but enthusiastic ama- 
teur gardeners, especially ladies, who cannot tol- 
erate gloves, often look with dismay at hands that 
no form of soap will free from soil and_plant 
stains. Under the circumstances it is somewhat 
surprising that so few seedsmen and dealers in 
garden supplies have ever heard of Hanton, which 
has been on the market for fully ten years. This 
creamy lotion rubbed in small quantities over the 
hands, makes them impervious to the stains of 
soil or plants;.in fact paint, grease, printers ink 
and what not at once washes off from hands 
treated with this lotion. It also prevents plant 
poisoning, sunburn and other skin troubles caused 
by contact and exposure. Unlike other materials 
claimed to prevent hand stains, Hanton when dry, 
does not leave a sticky feeling more unpleasant 
than the dirt. Its protectiyeness against plant 
poisoning, too, is a valuable feature.”
