. The Boston Fern. JACKSONII—Extremely : grower. Re- sembling Sword Fern, quickly forming large, upright plant. WHITMANII COMPACTA—This is a condens- ed form of the "Ostrich Plume Fern," with valuable characteristics added which are not evident in the parent, the pinnae subdividing, making minature fronds, looking as if two or more were candensed in one. Graceful beyond description. THE BOSTON FERN—This Fern differs from the ordinary Sword Fern in having much long- er fronds which frequently attain a length of six feet, drooping gracefully over the side of the pot or jardiniere, and on this account it is frequently called the Fountain Fern. This drooping habit adapts this variety for growing as a single specimen for a table or pedestal. Equally good for outdoors during the sumrner as well as a decorative plant for indoors during winter. WHITMANII (Ostrich Plume Fern)—More of a dwarf habit than the Boston Fern. The fronds are of entirely different nature. Each frond is subdivided on the order of the Com- pacta Fern, thus producing a very beautiful effect. Very decorative. AMERPOHLII (Philadelphia Lace Fern)—The fronds are lace-like, dense and delicate. Small leaflets are subdivided into perfect ininiature fronds. The side ones stand at right angles together and on edge instead of flat, giving- both sides the same beautiful appearance. It is impossible not to see the beauty and grace of this wonderful Fern.

Use a soil composed of five parts; two parts of good garden soil, two parts finely screened peat or leaf mold from the woo
