2 FLOWERS FROM FAR ISLANDS

of Socotra in the Arabian Sea. It is a most showy summer 
bloomer for pot growing, yielding treasures of perfumed blos- 
soms in deepest gentian-blue. Culture “w”’. Pkt. 50c ; 3 for $1.35. 
1 THE BLUEBELL GENTIAN 5 
It is EUSTOMA RUSSELLIANUM, called Bluebell Gentian 
from the many, big, wide bells of purple-patched blue. Usually 
blooms first year from early starting. It can be spectacular. 
kt(2-3)30. Pkt. 20c; %46@ oz. 50c. 
FEIJOA SELLOWIANA 
Called Pineapple Guava from flavor-reminders of the deli- 
cious, perfumed fruits. Wax-white flowers wtih crimson sta- 
mens and golden anthers, over glossy, evergreen foliage. Feijoa 
is stem-hardy to about 8 above zero, but by mulching, the roots 
can be winter-protected in areas where it gets much colder. 
Since Feijoa fruits on the new annual growth it can be handled 
outside in fairly cold regions. May also be grown as a large 
pot or tub plant. 10 seeds for 25c; 30 for 70c. 
FIGS FOR THE NORTH 
You can grow your own Figs, even in the North, for the 
trees are almost hardy, and usually carry through well if 
given a position close to south side of a building, together 
with a protection of corn stalks or other material in winter. 
Figs grow quickly, and start fruiting at a fairly early age. In 
very cold areas can readily be grown under glass as a large 
pot plant, fruiting freely. This is FICUS CARICA, seeds 
saved from selected, edible sorts. Pkt. 20c; Ye oz. 50c. Plants, 
7 to 12 inches, each 85c; 3 for $2.40.

so from the brilliant kingfisher-blue of the flowers. A bright 
and showy South African annual. Pkt. 20c; 3 for 50c.

triangular, opposed leaves, edge-set with curved, interloeking 
teeth. Big, fluffy, yellow flowers. An attractive and curious pot 
plant. Plants, each 45c; 3 for $1.15. 
FERNS FOR THE HOUSE 
SILVER LACE FERN—Pteris argyraea. If the word “showy” 
could be applied to any Fern, it would be to this. Gracefully 
irregular fronds, twice pinnate, with a wide, silvery-white 
marking centering each leaflet. Plants, each 70c; 3 for $1.75. 
FIJI PLUME FERN—One : 
of the rare varieties is Da- 
vallia fijiensis plumosa, but 
we consider it the most 
beautiful, and the most sat- 
isfactory, 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 con- 
ditions. Offered in two sizes, 
young plants with 2 or more 
fronds, per plant 70c; 3 for 
$1.90. Larger plants with 
very many fronds, as illus- 
trated opposite, at each 
$3.00. 
FERN SPORES TENDER 
BLEND — Spores of many 
desirable species and varie- 
ties of tender or pot-plant Ferns in mixture. Includes rare and 
beautiful kinds. Pkt. 35c; 3 pkts. for $1.00. 
TREE FERNS MIXED—tThe 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 distinctive, pot plants. We offer spores in mixture of 
varied species. 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- 
damo rock trickles and cool forest pools. 
HARDY FERN PLANTS—tThese five are of full winter-hardi- 
ness, desirable for outdoor planting in the North. ATHYRIUM 
THELYPTEROIDES—Christmas Fern. Long, tapering fronds, 
deeply twice-cut. Prefers shade, and should have some mulch- 
ing. DENNSTAEDTIA PUNCTILOBULA—Hay-scented Fern,

LOSA—Wood Fern. Handsome eyergreen fronds, thrice-pin-
