Graceful beyond description. THE BOSTON FERN_Thj3 Fern differs from the ordi- nary Sword Fern in having much longer fronds which 'IM i^*'s Pt^'- .^^ «'^- 's. frequently attain a length of 6 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 sum- mer as well as a decortive plant for indoors during winter. WHITMANII (Ostrich Plume Fern)—More of a dwarf habit than the Boston Fern. The fronds are of entirelv different nature. Each frond is subdivided on the order of the Compacta Fern, thus producing a very beautiful effect. Very decorative. AMERPOHLII (Philadelphia Lace Fern)—The fronds lace-like, dense and delicate. Small leaflets are subdivided into perfect miniature fronds. The side ones stand at right angles to- gether 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. ROOSEVELT_Resembles the Boston Fern, but produces manv 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, givinp, it a very prettv rising effect that is seen in no other Fern. U'hitninnii Tern.
