SPECIAL SELECTION FOR A COOL GARDEN OF FERNS FOR THAT 
SHADED NCOK 
For those of you who love the beauty of ferns but are not sure which kinds 
to select I suggest this group as giving an interesting variety. You will find they 
will make a beauty spot along the north side of your house or other shaded place, 
either alone or combined with other native plants. Avoid regularity in planting, 
but allow from 12 to 15 or 18 inches space for each fern. The Ostrich and Inter- 
rupted Ferns grow the tallest. 
This Fern Bed includes 10 Ostrich, 10 Lady, 10 Interrupted and 6 Maiden- 
hair ferns. 36 choice ferns delivered to you $6.00. One-half of the above, 18 
plants delivered for $3.50. 
SPECIAL OFFER OF LITTLE FERNS FOR SMALL SPACES 
If you have a shaded spot in your Rock Garden, or a little water fall or other 
suitable spot, perhaps this selection will be just what you want. Three each of 
Walking Fern, Common Polypody, Maidenhair Spleenwori and Obtuse Wood- 
sia, 12 in ali for only $2.75. 
Wild Flowers 
Those who have once treasured and nursed a wild flower into bloom in their 
own garden or watched the tender new frond of a fern unfold its beauty under 
their own protection seem ever after more appreciative of plants in their wild 
haunts, and more anxious to conserve their beauty for all the world to enjoy. 
Each year as people learn to know and love our own wild flowers, we see less 
wanton destruction of our native flora, and more desire to truly conserve our 
native landscape. 
ORCHIDS 
All Cypripediums are sold by the bud, thus a clump with six buds is counted 
as six plants. 
SHOWY LADY SLIPPER Cyripedium Reginae 
Though mostly found in bogs often in sphagnum moss, its roots have been 
found to be distributed through a neutral layer of soil beneath. Give neutral 
soil, shade, and plenty of moisture. Large white flowers with pouch flushed rose- 
purple on leafy stems up to 30 inches. The latest to flower, in late June. 
100 for $35.00; 12 for $5.00; 3 for $1.35; Each 50c.
