FERNS FOR THE HOUSE 
SILVER LACE FERN—Pteris argyraea. If the word “‘showy’”

irregular fronds, twice pinnate, with a wide, silvery-white 
marking centering each leaflet. Plants each 70c; 3 for $1.75. 
FERN SPORES TENDER BLEND—Spores of many desirable 
species and varieties of tender or pot-plant Ferns in mixture. 
Includes rare and beautiful kinds. Pkt. 35c; 3 pts. for $1.00. 
FIJI PLUME FERN—One of the rarer varieties is Davallia 
fijiensis plumosa, but we consider it the most beautiful, and 
the most satisfactory, of all house Ferns. The very many fronds 
are short, spreading, gracefully curved, with narrow pinnae in 
the richest and deepest of emerald greens, the whole mossy- 
feathery in effect. Thrives in an east window under ordinary 
house conditions. Well-grown plants from 4-inch pots, each 
$2.50; 3 for $7.00. 
TREE FERNS MIXED—The Tree Ferns have a true trunk, 
the fronds growing in a circlet about it and as a crown. For 
several years in the juvenile stages they make attractive, and 
rather “different” pot plants. We offer spores in mixtures of 
species of Cyathea, Alsophila, Hemitelia and perhaps of other 
genera. Pkt. 35c; 3 pkts. for $1.00. 
FERNS FROM SPORES—Dust spores on surface of previ- 
ously heat-sterilized soil. Cover with pane of glass and keep 
from direct sunlight until germination takes place. A temper- 
ature not greatly above or below 65 degrees is best. Ideal soil 
would be screened mixture of garden loam and humus (as 
woods-earth, peat, or rotted sods) with enough sand added to 
bring to open, friable state. Use water that has been sterilized 
by boiling, then cooled, for initial moistening. Further water- 
ing will likely not be needed until glass is removed. Then 
water from below. 
THE HARDY FERNS 
Here, without grace of bloom, we enter an older plant world, 
a charm of form and foliage with gaudy color adornment 
deleted, a restful world in suggestion of summer shade, moss- 
damp rock trickles and cool forest pools.

hardiness, desirable for outdoor planting in the North. ATHY-
