Resembling the Sword Fern, forming a large upright plant in a short time WHITMANII COMPACTA - Whitmanii Fern. -Teddj- Jvmior, This is a condensed form ot, the 'Ostrich Plume Fern,'', with valuable characteristics added which are not evident in the parent, the pinnae sub-: dividing, making miniature fronds, looking as if two on more were condensed in one Graceful beyond description; THE BOSTON FERN_ This Fern differs from the ordinary Sword Fern in having much longer fronds which fre quently attain a length of 6' feet, drooping gracefully over the side of the pot or jardin- iere, and on this account it is frequently called the Fountaini Fern. This drooping habit adapts this variety for grow ing as a single specimen for a table or pedestal. Equally good for outdoors during the summer' months as well as a decorative plant for indoors during the winter. WHITMANII (Ostrich Plume Fern)âMore of a dwarf habit than the Boston Fern. The fronds are of entirely diiferent nature. Each frond is subdivided on the order of the Compacta Fern, thus producing ai very beautiful effect. Its decorative ability is excellent. AMERPOHLII (Philadelphia Lace Fern)âThe fronds lace-like, dense: and delicate. Small leaflets are subdivided into perfect miniature â 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. ROOSEVELTâResembles the Boston Fern, but produces many more fronds, thus making a handsomer and bushier plant; in fact it today is more popular with the florists than the Boston; it will make a larger plant in a shorter time. The fronds are beautifully undulated, giving it a very pretty rising effect that is seen in no other Fern. Price of all Ferns in
